Revenant said:Luongo is .919% with a 2.43 GAA with 4 shutouts with 683 shots faced.
Thomas is at a .937% with a 2.07 GAA with 3 shutouts and 774 shots faced.
You can make a case for Luongo.. but uhhh gonna have to go with Thomas here.
brucewaynegretzky said:Even if the Nucks win?
Luongo beat Crawford.Revenant said:Yes, to me that's irrelevant. Thomas has been only getting better from the first round.
Luongo was benched for a rookie in the first series. Luongo has gotten better, but Thomas has been a stronger asset for the whole playoffs.
I just submitted feedback to the NHL to suggest that they create a bronze Stanley Cup, so the losing teams from the Conference Finals can battle it out in a series of their own and we can be entertained between games. Imagine watching the Sharks and Lightning go to war tonight? Would be one hell of a barn-burner.Botolf said:It never fails to amuse me what the lack of hockey does to us.

Ditto. We need moar!OnPoint said:I can get behind that.

Yeah, this isn't the Olympics. There's the Cup and that's it. Plus I doubt the Sharks would be playing super well right now with the crazy injury list they had.yodathesoda said:Nobody would give a shit or play hard. They'd rather be golfing than playing for third. It would be terrible.

Well, in the fantasy world where this could only be a reality, I think they'd be playing out of their minds. Plus, Jumbo Joe would finally prove all of his critics wrong, Ben Eager would head into the series a Lady Byng nominee, etc.yodathesoda said:Nobody would give a shit or play hard.

No it won't man. The summer will be even funnier as we are constantly reminded how Boudreau continues to evolve as a coach.sazabirules said:It's going to be weird once there's no more hockey to watch until October. This series and the entire series have been exciting even with all the arguing and saltiness in this thread. I'll have a ton of fun watching no matter who wins.
Epic Tales of Penis said:No it won't man. The summer will be even funnier as we are constantly reminded how Boudreau continues to evolve as a coach.
He fucking fired yet and I've missed it?
To be fair, no one's saying that Thomas hasn't been the better goalie (or maybe Tabris/JWong are, but who gives a shit). It's about value to the team. Consider also that the Conn Smythe has only been given to a player from the losing team once in the last 23 years.OnPoint said:I can't believe anyone could make the case that Luongo deserves the Conn Smythe over Thomas. I'm all for the Canucks to win the cup and don't really like Thomas, and even I can't see where this is coming from. It's pretty clear cut he's been playing better.

Totally. Just like the Boston Bruins are totally late at serving delicious hot dogs at their games. Like, decades. It's been done. I don't even know why they bother.Revenant said:To be fair the canucks are late on the green men by like 4 years..

Yea my frien calls it a " victim's sport" As an insult which is ironic since he loves soccersazabirules said:There's a lot of basketball players that act like Henrik does.
Do you mean Arturs Irbe? Holtby is their best goalie IMO. As for McPhee, he's not firing BB because it shows he's equally inept at hiring a good coach to begin with!sazabirules said:Nah just the goalie coach left. He's the coach who was hired to help Glasscrotch since he only spoke Russian when he first started playing. Maybe this hints towards Varlamov going to the KHL or being traded.
I just wish Ted Leonsis had some balls and would fire BB. Instead he gives us the shitty decision of leaving that up to McPhee.

Cassidy? Hanlon? Boudreau?
Fire McPhee too.

That sucks. I liked Irbe and he did a good job in bringing along all three young goalies.sazabirules said:Yeah Arturs Irbe. Holtby played extremely well and if he continued to shine I'd be fine with him as the starter and one of the others as a backup. I want both BB and McPhee gone.

Montresor said:Heh, just hoofed it to NBA.com to check out how the series is doing. The Mavs are leading the series 3-2 and are leading game six by 10 points in the 4th quarter.
:lol Please get let those pieces of shit Lebron and Bosh lose.
I guess that's why some people like it, with no lead ever really being safe, etc. It just feels anti-climactic to me no matter what, though. You can pretty much catch the last five minutes of play of any game and see most of what matters.brucewaynegretzky said:I'm actually kinda rooting for them. They remind of the old Oilers. But yeah... this entire sport sucks. How the hell do you get excited for something that happens 100 times a game? In hockey that's why you stop watching when Leighton's playing...
Oh its a delight, i decided to check it out, good stuff.vatstep said:I guess that's why some people like it, with no lead ever really being safe, etc. It just feels anti-climactic to me no matter what, though.

LOL, the NBA thread will be fun to read through tonight, though.
That NBA championship celebration seemed like game 10 of the season????? Guarentee u stanley cup winners will be more dramatic and emotional
