WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ridiculously overrated!He was so underrated that he became overrated. That being said, the Canucks lost like 35 one goal games last year. If they score a similar amount of goals, Luongo should win them 8+ games. He is top 5 in the NHL with potential to be the best.

When your top 2 RW are Matt Cooke and Jason King I think goal scoring may be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites

Luongo has never played a playoff game... but he has played:2. World Junior Championship, 4.World Championships, 1.World Cups 1.Olympics... So basically you make an excellent point... swForwards will produce on the grounds that the most productive 2/3rds of each of the top lines have returned in better form than last year... but you won't believe me until you see it happen...Flames addition of Tanguay looks good, he is underrated and should finally give Iginla something to work with Link to post Share on other sites
Koy 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The move to Van City will make a world of difference for him because he can get away from all the South Florida distractions. I think he’ll be on point. The top line can only improve on last season and Kesler and the Sedin turds will have big years. Link to post Share on other sites
subsin 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 i definately think he can bring them into the playoffs, the best goalie the canucks had in the past few years was Cloutier and see what happened when he got into the playoffs, luongo will exceed in vancouver and maybe get them into the 2nd round, definately not overrated Link to post Share on other sites

Drac 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Luongo is a top 5 guy but Vancouver has a lot of holes up front and on the blueline. They will struggle to make the playoffs but will have a much better chance to make it deeper with a good goalie than they did with Cloutier. Link to post Share on other sites
