VAN @ EDM: sloppy lu is sloppy

Kn.

Looks to be playing well to me

I was mostly referring to the very bad placement that led to EDM goal #2. I can't think of many compelling reasons for a goalie to be so far out of the crease as to let an opposing player travel freely between himself and the net.

When was the last time Luongo let in a bad goal? Game 1 against the Ducks when he came in as a back up. The defense of the Canucks has been shit. I can't wait for him to be traded and Schneider turn into a bust.

On a side note: Luongo is the only Panther the Canucks have got that has actually worked out. They picked up Ballard, Booth and Garrisson, who have all been busts. Either the Canucks have the worst scouting in the league, or they don't scout. Seems to be working well for them.

You should read stats sometimes…stats don't lie.

9 games in and Ballard is +4 - Garrison is +3 with a goal…

Lou has a 1.4 GAA and a 0.940 save percent….

The other D-men are doing terrible also…

Edler has 7 points and 25 shots… (leading the team currently)

Hamhuis has 5 points

Bieksa doesn't seem to be doing much more than getting penalties however…

Oh - and the team in general? Yup - sucking it. 5-2-2 with 12 points. 3rd in the conference and I think 8th in the league?

I give up - I think I will just cheer for Calgary from now on…

I have 21,474,850 rep points...

+/- is the biggest joke of a stat.

I do agree that the Nucks haven't really been dominating. Luckily they haven't been hurt too bad in the standings.

They've been realy solid in faceoffs but that's probably just another GG joke of a stat.

It's ridiculous to even try to find a trend with only 9 games played, but at least VAN has won more games than they've lost, which fewer than a third of the teams league wide can claim.

Oh, and lol Calgary.

+/- is the biggest joke of a stat. And when 5 of the 9 games have not been decided in regulation, you can't say the Canucks are dominating. They are relying on goaltending. [HTML_REMOVED]3 goals per game isn't going to cut it in the playoffs.

I should also add that you must be the first person to give Ballard any credit. For what he gets paid, he sure is a piece of shit. You must be the only person to think that he's not a bust.

HOLD UP so you're saying the canuck's aren't dominating early in the season with Raymond being the only healthy player from what should be their second line? Is this also the same team that had one of the lowest rates of players playing games in other leagues during the lockout? The very same team most people expected to have a slow start?

we should probably give up now

Ballard gets paid a lot for what he brings but Garrison looks good. I also wouldn't call booth a bust.

Van/Min game has been entertaining to watch.

4-0 going into the third.

First full game I've been able to watch for a bit. :)

As a non-caring 3rd party to this whole debacle, I'd love to see one of the two pull one of these:
