The funny thing is last night when I saw how that game went down I was wondering how many people would come in here blaming him, I’m pleasantly surprised it’s only one, the guy mad like 40 saves in the game he’s not the issue
He did play well no doubt. But once again society is trying to put the team performance in the grey . There is no grey area in sports you win or you lose. Black and White. and at the end of the day he let in two goals and the Finnish goalie let in one. That is a fact.
I mean, he made it pretty clear. He considers luongos mental toughness a problem and saw the same problem with DiPietro. Whether you agree or not, he compared no other facet of his game to luongos.
Do people really think that Luongo is not a sure-fire Hall of Famer?
There's literally 1 goalie in history who has played in 20 or more seasons and has a SV% better than Luongo's. Ironically, considering Luongo's reputation, his consistency year in and year out makes him special and definitely the greatest goalie to have ever played for the Canucks.
I'm assuming that you'd take 1997-1998 Chris Osgood over Dominik Hasek? Osgood had a better win-loss record that year and won the Stanley Cup, so he must be a better goalie according to your criteria.
Dipietro backstopped his team to a Memorial Cup win before.
Mohamed once called everyone’s God a fake, even though it was just his own opinion but guess what happened? He got chased out of the country.Everyone relax. It is just my opinion. No need to come with the torches. It is just my observations. we will see how it plays out.

Totally agreed, I just really do not like it when people discount how unbelievably good Luongo was and use him as a negative comparison. If DiPietro is exactly like Luongo, we'd be set for the next decade in goal.
Does anybody know what's happening with DiPietro lately?
Cedrick Andree is getting the net a fair bit with DiPietro the backup.
MDP was traded to Ottawa on December 4 and has only played 6 games. Some of that of course is that he was away at the WJC, but he isn't getting the net regularly.
His stats in his 6 games with Ottawa aren't good at all. He has 6 games, a 3.48 GAA, an .874 save percentage and has won 4 and lost 2 with the powerhouse 67's who overall are 35-9-1.
Andree's stats are 2.50 GAA, .912 save percentage and a w/l record of 28-4-1.
Is there anybody who is following the situation and knows whether this is just random luck in a small sample, is MDP fighting an injury or illness or is Andree outplaying him? I'm asking the question to see if someone knows and can tell us, not to encourage speculation.
Woo didn’t play. He practised with Utica and then Told the team his knee was bugging him. An MRI revealed a minor issueHigh Ankle Sprain alone is usually 4 to 6 weeks.
His season is likely done for sure, and selfishly I'd rather he heal properly in anticipation of rookie AHL season. However, given our player development's issues putting our players back into lineups too soon (see Woo)...

Agreed! I hate when folks make sh!t up to support their narratives.Yeah, that stuff about Woo is demonstrably false. Stuff like this bugs me because there is plenty of evidence for criticism of their player development without making stuff up.
Woo never played a single game for UticaHigh Ankle Sprain alone is usually 4 to 6 weeks.
