If Luongo falters tomorrow but we still manage to win do you have faith in him against the Russians? How can you throw in Brodeur now? You certainly can't start Fleury considering the situation and the fact he hasn't played in a game in 10 days. As much as I hate to say it we've backed ourselves into a corner, we have to ride with Luongo and I think he CAN DO IT!
Luongo has also not played a game in the last ten days so it is the same massive risk to throw him into the fire. The wrong backup goalie is being picked to play. Fleury should start the big games. Fleury won game 7 on the road for the Stanley Cup. Luongo is a bigger gamble than Fleury.
