Why isn't Luongo starting?

Brodeur obviously had the tougher test in the Swiss. Really tough to compare performances in this instance.
Sure, Luongo got out of the first round in a 7 game series to a lesser opponent (St. Louis as opposed to Carolina).
Add that Brodeur is the definition of a 'Money Goaltender' and the decision comes a little easier.
Also, on the subject of Iginla playing a fourth line role. Personally, I like it. Not only does it fit in with the style he will be playing once he gets back to Calgary, but I would rather have Iginla (with hands) playing that role as opposed to Draper (one-dimensional). Not saying that it is necessarily Draper who would fill that role, just that I prefer to have someone with multiple skill sets in that position.
However, the homer in me wants to see Iggy play 15 mins plus and light the lamp every play. The patriot in me wants to see gold dangling just above the Maple Leaf, and I am willing to compromise.
