Statsny - Landeskog - Duchene - O Reilly - Tangs - Hedja .... They are deep at forward.
Who? Do you mean Hejduk? He no longer plays for them. This is the same team that was second last in the league last season (picking first overall). Really the only changes they've made since then were the additions of Mackinnon and Tanguay.

I don't think it is at all, he is the only player to win three Conn Smythe's, which I believe is the decisive factor on why he should be considered the best of all-time.

The amount of leaf love here is disturbing, even if it is at the Oilers' expense.
I really am neutral on any other Canadian team. I just concentrate, and focus, every single ounce of my hockey hatred where it is truly warranted. Against the Canucks. Every single Canadian fan base is pretty much the same, and has all the same quirks.... except for the Canucks, whose fan base is comprised of at least 50% violent criminals. (I heard it may be higher but I don't want to let hyperbole make my statement look over the top.)

Flames fan justifiable logic:

Not even kind of. There are goaltenders people might like more, but Roy is the best, or at very least in a heated discussion of 3 guys that could be interchangeable at #1 due to minute details.
"I didn't see it. I didn't see it," a frustrated Luongo told reporters. "They didn't show it on the Jumbotron, I didn't see it. You guys tell me what happened."
Asked if he'd ever given up a more bizarre game winner, Luongo shot back: "I didn't give that up, so I can't tell you."
And this guy is TSN's majority pick as a starting goaltender for Canada in 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Hmmmm... go Canada?
It bothers me how much of a free ride luongo gets from so many sports broadcasters. People praise him for how he handled the whole Schneider thing last year and this year... But people always seem to forget the reasons why they started shifting to Schneider in the first place... It's because luongo is so inconsistent And blows up to the media and in his performance on the ice when pressure is on him. Everyone seems to forget how classless he was in the SCF when he whined about not getting any praise from Thomas. Canuck fans and luongo sympathizers like to use the 2010 Olympics to argue for luongo but team canada out-chanced and outshot the Americans 2 to 1 and luongo never gave team canada that game saving stop that great goalies do

Me thinks your problem with Luongo is that you don't "get" Luongo. He's a great goaltender, a little shaky at times, but he's still top 10 in the league. You make it sound like he's bottom 10.
The 'whining' thing, the 'blowing up' to the media, it doesn't happen with any extra regularity than any other player in the NHL, and most of the time the guy is joking. He's easily one of the most sarcastic and humorous interviews week in and week out, and he's often terribly honest.
I mean, he hasn't talked about whipping his #### out, but it'll do.
