We are undefeated, loser.

Not to take anything away from Eberle, because that was a hell of a shot, but even Garret noted that Lu dipped his left shoulder instead of staying square to the shooter. Pretty good game, Weise was a roller coaster of calamity, Ballard made a lot of bad decisions, thankfully Horcoff is well, Horcoff.

Ya I don't know what Lu was doing there. Playing hide and seek behind the post? I'm not sure if you could have tried to get smaller in the net.

Funny thing is i do remember the leafs actually winning the cup,and whenever i goto a game i get to sit and look up at all the cup banners How about you ? Do you look up at any cup banners in your rink? Can you remember the feeling of seeing your team win a cup?

At least we can beat the worst team in our conf last year,can you guys?

I thought Luongo played a very good game. He did his job, gave his team a chance to win. Isn't that what you want from a backup? Give your team a chance?

Can't blame Luongo on this one.

Eberle completely bulled his way around Edler (how that happens I don't know. Edler has to move his feet and take Eberle's space away) and made a shot that only 10 people in the NHL can make. During the intermission the Oilers Sportsnet team was blasting Lu on this one but that is complete horse poop. Lu took the bottom of the net away like a pro and forced Eberle to make an incredible shot, 2-1 as the second period ends.




“I’m sure that’s one Louie (Luongo) would like back,” Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault said.




"I thought we played hard as a team and deserved to win," said Luongo. "Unfortunately, it came down to a shootout and I wasn't able to make the saves there. Both guys deviated from their usual moves and I followed them both."

What bothered Luongo more was Hemsky snapping a wrister at 14:05 of the third period to make it 2-2 and allowing Eberle to work around Edler and then roof a backhander to the far side past his glove at 19:56 of the second period to erase a 2-0 lead provided by Edler and Zack Kassian.

"On both goals I could have done a better job," added Luongo. My timing on the rush right now has got to be a bit better. On the Eberle goal, I was looking at the clock and not too sure and was trying to cover the short side and wasn't really square to him. He fired a backhand to the bar. Even though it was a nice shot, I've got to square up and play him true and that's never going to go in.

"It's mostly guys attacking the net from the side and aside from that, I'm where I want to be."

Better Keep both those goalies, in a sprint like this there is no room for 4 game losing streaks. that being said, Corey will be just fine once the rust wears off
- billyberg10


4 game losing streaks are something you should know a lot about. Im sure you will have your fair share.

If he would have been square to Eberle, it would have hit him in the chest. It was a nice shot but Luongo should have had it.

I'm waiting until we call a truce, and then start saying nice things to each other, because I really want to mention 21 Jump Street.

That show was awesome.

Lou was solid but brutal in the shoot out. Why were the Twins who are former NHL Scoring champs on the pine for the shoot out? Really don't get it ??

Since you missed it the point was VAN couldnt beat a bottom feeder team with 9 mill + in goalies..We may be one of the bottom feeders but at least our 800k goalie can stop and beat the bottom feeders in our conf..

Another funny note for you lost VAN fans here,did you notice the 2 players your gm has been begging for in a trade for LOU was the 2 that scored for us on opening night

I'm assuming that's onions dipped in beer batter and deep fried.
