Cant wait to see Luongo shine the rest of the tournament. Not worried about back to backs either, because the Germany game won't tire him out at all. He might need to make 15-20 saves.
Also Luongo seems to have a really good record against Ovechkin, so I think that helps. However I would be a little worried if any of these games go to a shootout.

I hate Luongo.
He's a dirty, disgusting Vancouver Canuck. Gross.
But I hope that while he's playing for Team Canada, he stands on his friggen head and helps us win the gold medal.
Go Luongo, and Go Team CANADA!

I hope Canada scores enough goals that it doesn't matter what Luongo does.
I can't cheer for him.

Also with Florida too. I don't have the stats in front of me, but I think he is something like 10-2 against Ovechkin.

Why isn't Jordan Staal and his Stanley Cup ring on this team?

Good question. He would be perfect for the 4th line checking role.

and first line winger.
and second line center.
and first unit PK wing.
and extra attacker.
and on the point on the power play.
and maybe (just maybe) he could be backup goaltender for a game too.
Hopefully Babcock can sort something out when he has an NHL sized bench.

9-3 (with 7 of those games when Washington was a 14th placed team) but not sure how that proves anything about Luongo vs. Ovechkin....this isn't basketball.

Rob Zaumner was perfect for that role in 1998 too.

I hope Luongo helps win Canada gold, then I don't have to hear CPs stupid argument that he has never won anything to make him an elite goalie. The guy is good, he is big (big pads, that is always good) and he will do what he needs to to win.
I dislike his diving as much as the next guy, but there is no doubt that this greasy monkey is a good goalie.

I hope he starts off with a nice little dive in the 1st period against the germans. He hasn't dove in over a week!
German-Boogard, Marco Sturm, skating by the crease should generate enough of a breeze.

Why would you want that? It is one of my favorite arguements as to why Luongo is overrated when I am getting into it with my Canuck friends. They laugh when I say we have the best goaltending in the division and that is one of my first arguements. That along with choking in big games and needing to take a poo when OT was starting. The over-dramatic displays of laying on the ice and constant deflections of his own poor play at his team is also things I tend to point out to Nuck fans.

Because it is a stupid argument. Luongo is good. Vancouver sucks.

No matter how good of a goalie he is, even with big pads, it is all nullified by his terrible acting jobs. Diving has ZERO place in the NHL.

I want Luongo to win. Great seeing him in over Brodeur.
Blech. Still can't get used to saying that.
