Is The "Rest Luongo More" Concept working?
by Sean Zandberg on Nov 19, 2010 12:00 PM PST
in Luongo
Email
PrintWell, not according to some intriguing stats that Brad Ziemer from the Vancouver Sun points out:
In the games he has played following the four starts given to backup Cory Schneider, Roberto Luongo's numbers aren't good. His goal-against average in those four games is 4.75 and his save percentage is .850.
A particularly shaky outing Oct. 19 in Minnesota, when Luongo was yanked after giving up six goals on 18 shots in two periods, skews those numbers a bit. But the fact remains Luongo has surrendered three or more goals in all of those four starts.
As much as the team's play in front of him could have been better on occasion, Lou has not been sharp either. Not sharp enough. Not consistently. Just something to keep an eye on, because, you know, we don't scrutinize Luongo enough. Added: To throw a small dart at Ziemer, the Canucks are still 2-2 in those games, and Luongo has hardly been to blame in especially one of those 4 games in particular: the 4-3 win over the Avalanche. Wow. The Avs had 39 shots that game. Lou was gold.

Interesting
but I am not sure just looking at his numbers in the game after a rest is the best way to judge if it’s working. Isn’t the point to have him be more fresh at the end of the season and into the playoffs? No way to judge that until that time of the season rolls around.

Ditto.
Might I add, its a very small sample size to start making statistical assumptions on…

This sounds like
The start of an optimization problem.
“How many games should Lu play in a row so that his stats don’t suffer too much from repeated breaks, but so that he is still fresh for the playoffs?”
Of course there are way too many variables to do it properly, but it still gave me a bit of a math chub.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
I just want him to be fresh and ready to go
for the playoffs. I don’t care about the regular season as much. We look like we should win our division once again so I am already thinking ahead to the SC playoffs.

Me too
Although I hope the team isn’t thinking ahead to playoffs, as that’s a great way to self destruct your season

New techniques
I wonder if the changes to his style make it a little harder for him to get back to game speed after a break. I’ve noticed that at times he looks slow as hell with his lateral movement (like he is having to ‘think it’ too much before he starts to move) and he seemed uncomfortable at times with his movement/positioning in Pittsburg. I’d have to go back and watch the goals in previous 1st game back starts to confirm it but this is the impression that I have been getting.
Having said that though, Luongo is a notoriously slow starter and getting the extra breaks might be keeping him from heating up as fast as he might have but I can’t say I care all that much. The playoffs is what matters and this year (even more than previous years) the regular season seems like something we need to ‘get out of the way’ so we can get on with the real games.

I’m not an arcade fire fan either. They are always on the Zone (Victoria radiostation) and they get pretty annoying. I’m not really a fan of that type of music though. I don’t like U2 either. Radiohead is the only type of music similar to that that I like.
Radiohead
is my essay writing music. LOVE them. Saw them live at UBC in 2008. Amazing show. The last song they did was Paranoid Android and it was mind-blowing. Thom Yorke even told someone who was being annoying: “Hey! Shut the fuck up, you’re not funny, you just don’t get out much”. If I ever have any papers to write, I blast Radiohead, and 2-3 hours later they’re done.

So don't tiptoe
just remember, to most of us here, YOU don’t need to defend your statements to the death (either does yoata for that matter)…most people get what you’re saying usually and either agree or disagree, but respect u nonetheless. What happens with you and yoata, (and me as well as we all know), is u get into this stupid pissing match. It’s not necessary. Yeah yeah you both have huge dicks, we get it. Yoata loves to get the last word in in any argument. So do you. So do I. The problem is when any of us get into these ’I’m last, NO I’m LAST, NO I’M LAST! things we all look stupid to everyone else. And we know it so we start trying to justify our positions. Repeat after me: ITS NOT THAT IMPORTANT! Opinions vary, no need to beat it into the ground. The first time someone posts in a nasty way or a way that makes u angry, step back and it will all be good.
You shouldn’t feel the need to defend your statements that hard against someone you have trouble communicating sanely with; that was the lightbulb that went off for me. And hey…look…I can have a debate with him and not lose it. I still think he often talks down to people in a rude way, but I do my best to ignore it. And let’s face it…those of us who live in glass-ish houses (yes, me and you) probably shouldn’t throw stones. My opinion of how he responds to people may or may not be shared by others here, and they (and yoata) may have the exact same opinion of my writing.
At the end of the day, this is a canucks community, and if anyone affects you personally enough that it raises your blood pressure, well maybe u need to take a step back and take an objective look at why that person is getting so under your skin.

I can’t control myself. I can’t stop coming here and I am not willing to avoid talking about a topic just because yoata is in the same conversation. I don’t care about anything yoata does except when he twists words and tells me what I really mean. He ‘paraphrases’ and it ends up making it seem like something I didn’t say and I didn’t really mean. I can’t abide that.

It just gets too frustrating. When you have a conversation, its supposed to be an exchange, but then it just gets too much "dancing on the head of a pin ". I just recognize the triggers and move on.
The only thing about it is that when I just drop it, it makes him feel like the winner. That gets annoying, but its not that big a deal.

how you all are so innocent yourselves, god that makes me laugh, each of you has been repeatedly insulting and uncivil to me without provocation as well as completely unwilling to see the reason in any view opposing your own. So act like it’s all about me if that’s what makes you feel better about yourselves but anyone with half a brain can see that each of you is at least as guilty as you say I am of contributing to the lack of courteous discourse between us.
Now, by all means, continue prancing about admiring each others’ high horse’s…
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
What like yesterday
when I honestly tried to have a conversation with you and you refused to take what I say at face value?
Also I find it hilarious that you claim we think we are all innocent when several times in the last few days I have said things like “maybe it’s me” and “it could be the way I express myself” and above Twitchy clearly outlines how he and I are just as much to blame as you are. Then you come steaming in with a rant about how we are just as much to blame as you are.
Now go ahead and twist my words and tell me what I really meant by all this. I don’t care anymore. I am just waiting to get banned.

If u can think of the most boring sarah mclaughlin song she ever did, make it about 4x less interesting and add some guitar to it, u almost have something as sonically boring as Arcade Fire.

I actually probably like her MORe than either rush or u2…but can’t consider her musically amazing…she writes a good mellow song…not great, not exciting, just ok. Er…better than me.

I think
she writes terrific emotional songs that connect with a lot of people because of the lyrics and melodies. She certainly has a billion times the voice Geddy Puke Lee does.
And I also think that U2s musicianship is highly overrated. Have you seen It Might Get Loud? Did not think much of “The Edge” (and who the fuck calls themselves that as their name any way) before seeing it, and even less after.

If you'd read my post
you’d see i mentioned u2’s songwriting, and rush’s musicianship. Musicians are seldom both virtuoso’s and good songwriters. They’re usually one or the other. There are exceptions to that rule, the aforementioned tom waits for one, trent reznor maybe, any number of former yardbirds, jack johnson maybe (although I dunno that he’s a monster musician). I’d say Maynard Keenan but some wouldn’t think tool or APC are writing brilliant pop songs…and they aren’t i guess. Nobody will ever accuse Kurt Cobain (RIP) of being a virtuoso, but songwriters as good as him come along once in a generation if we’re lucky. Likewise john lennon.

Don't really see
why you need to get pissy, I read your post, jsut re-read it, honest mistake.
Cobain was overrated too imo, had some gems but some of his lyrics were either nonsensical, simple, or just repetitive.
Best example of virtuoso+terrific songwriter = Mark Knopfler.
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
Heh i wasn't pissy
Mark Knopfler yes, but I personally wouldn’t call him the best example. But yeah. And Cobain’s lyrics were written the same way ginsberg wrote poetry; get a bunch of awesome riffs and piece them together randomly in a way that fits the beat….that’s what awesome songwriting is all about, in my mind. I guess I don’t just need the subject matter to be brilliant, it’s more important to me that the everything in the song fits everything else in a brilliant way. The lyrical content is part of that, but so is the instrumentation and most importantly the arrangement. So Ima stand on cobain being the best songwriter of his era. I can’t think of anyone in that whole decade who was better; he was our john lennon. Don’t freak out, it’s my opinion as someone who lived that life in that time.

u really think so?
i don’t think he proved much in February, i think if Brodeur was left in = same result. If anything he did make it more exciting letting in that softie at the end of regulation.
No
Brodeur was obviously not ready for that quality of hockey and would have torpedoed Team Canada. Lu came in cold, won 5 straight games against the best hockey players in the world to backstop Team Canada to a gold medal. Would Canada have won the gold medal if Lu hadn’t made that save on Demo with 30 seconds left to beat Team Slovakia? Probably not. Would Canada have won a gold medal if Lu didn’t make the glove save off the Niedermayer give-away in overtime? No. Leaving Brodeur in would not have yielded the same result.
Luongo is a great goaltender, most of the time. The problem is that when he’s bad, he’s really fucking bad. And that may become his legacy. Hell, even I call him 7uongo sometimes. But its important to be objective and realize that he is a great goaltender that cannot be called overrated anymore. He is simply overpaid.

All the regular season is
a way for all the analysts to gauge their Cup predictions. I personally don’t care if we’re TSN’s pick to go the Cup or THN or all these other hockey publications. They’re MY pick. So basically the regular season is just a way for everyone to praise your team and raise you up as contenders. none of those words of praise matter until you do something come April, May, June. *Cough**Cough* Washington.
I don’t care about another NW division title. I’m content going in as the 1st or 8th seed. Because you’re seed does not seal your fate otherwise Montreal SHOULD have beat Washington.
So yeah, I say stick to the rest Luongo plan because rest doesn’t just mean physical. He’s gotta be mentally there too. And he can’t be there mentally when he’s getting shell shocked for 8 goals like that game vs. LA on April fool’s last year.
THE 8 WORDS I HOPE TO ONE DAY HEAR: "THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP"
thanks for the opinion, gal..but I was having this conversation with a friend today and the only dent in what you are saying is “seeding”. Meaning you gotta haul ass so you get home ice advantage in the playoffs. It’s not a 100% solid way to win in the playoffs but it sure as hell helps.

absolutely
but last year, i believe we had the 2nd best home record in the west or league wide possibly. and our problem last year was that we couldn’t get it done at home vs. Chicago in that 2nd round. For a team that kicked ass at home all year, they blanked out at home.
But of course, home ice advantage would definitely be a plus.
THE 8 WORDS I HOPE TO ONE DAY HEAR: "THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP"
Yeah
They dropped a huge smelly one in Games 3 and 4 last year. That being said I’d still prefer home ice, even if our road record was better last playoffs
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
I think that trying to guess the exact number of games he should play, to come up with the science of optimization, is a bit overanalyzing. By now, we saw him play many seasons, and know that he is not very consistent in his performance.
As Chuckles said, he is just overpaid, not overrated. This is Luongo, and he will surely not change at the switch of a button. We will never know which Luongo will show up the next game, and we have to live with this knowledge. He is a man of extremes, so the average stats in his case don’t mean much. That’s because a brilliant performance will be quickly ruined (statistics-wise) by the next game, where he may be really bad.

Reminds me of Halak, the hot and cold
Stellar for eight games, then allowing 19 goals in 4 games. Not to mention the one he threw in his own net.
But if Lou can do what Halak did last year in the playoffs, I will be a happy person.
Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Keep in mind
the Habs played very well defensively to play to Halak’s strengths (stopping shots he can see that haven’t been blocked), and Washington’s weaknesses (No down low gritty play, no screening the goalie, lots of shots from bad angles and outside the faceoff circles).
But that being said, I’d be very happy if Luie gave us a run to the WCF.

huh?
Habs were badly outshot in those series, and Halak was unconscious, he bailed out their swiss cheese D time and again.
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
I was under the impression
that most of the shots were from the outside but if the Washington forwards’ hesitance to get in Halak’s face and Halak could see most of the shots. And that while he played exceptionally well, the defense also played well too. Then again I didn’t watch the whole series (only caught all the games that the Habs won, strangely) so I could be wrong.

was definitely a case of the Caps not wanting to go to the dirty areas and taking a lot of long shots from poor areas. That’s my memory of it anyway. I think as it went along the saves got harder but he continued to make them.

I don’t think he’s overpaid… he’s one of the best goaltenders in the world and his cap hit is only 5mil and change
Overpaid
when you look at the market. Goaltending can be had cheaply right now and I would be hesitant to invest a lot of money and many years into the goaltending position, due to fluctuations in market, how quickly a goalie can become shitty (Tommy Salo, Huet), and how much a quality of a goaltender can be reflected in the defense in front of him. But I’ll concede that he’s not overpaid by very much. Its the NTC that really bothers me. Ties our hands. If I were Gillis I would have made Lu’s contract 4 years, 4.4 cap hit, no NTC. But then again thats why Im a 3rd year Political Science student and not a General Manager of a multi-million dollar NHL franchise.

...it’s a damned shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums, and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia, apathy, and complacence...from a job application by Hunter S Thompson to the Vancouver Sun. Oct. 1/1958
Happy BDay indeed!
