To be honest, I haven't felt that way about Kipper since the '06 season, but I hear ya. Luongo hasn't really been overly tested, but over-all I've been kind of disappointed in his play. I didn't know he let in Osgood Specials like that first goal against Slovakia that turned the momentum of the game around. In the summer I remember making a brief "Rank the NHL Goalies" thread, where I named Luongo king of the NHL netminders. I don't feel this way anymore. I dunno, he's just not what I've seen him be in the past this year. I really don't know what to expect of him today, hopefully he comes up huge.
That said, I hate the Canucks as much as the next Flames fan, but I can't believe some people are saying he didn't make that save. I've seen the replay a dozen times and I really don't see how it was anything other than off his glove. I know its a rivalry, but that's just ridiculous, talk about bias getting in the way of actual judgement.
