The enigma of Luongo

I have lost a ton of respect for Luongo for the way he played in Boston.

The last time I checked, Bernie Parent and other quality goaltenders did not fold like a tent on the road in the Stanley Cup Finals the way this guy has.

His consitency at crunch time away from Vancouver has been horrible.

With that said, I feel just the opposite about Thomas. He's a nasty-looking guy with an edge. His play has been superb.

FWIW, I have a feeling Vancouver's winning tonight, even though I am rooting for Boston.

    Hopefully the Bruins team that plays so well at home can make the trip to Vancouver.

    That is not the Finals? That has to be the entire playoffs.

    would a 6 game sample size mean anything? A: No.

    True, but this is when it really counts and guess what he has been outclassed by Flint, as you like to call him. But for now on please call him Conn Smyth and Vezina.
