PrintRoberto Luongo, despite all the hate out there, won a lot of games for his mates in the regular season and the playoffs, and I am now going to honor that by presenting to you the top 10 Lou saves of the 2010-11 regular season while being clad in my Luongo stick in rink jersey. Enjoy, and bite me, haters, heheh:
10. (February 4) What is it with Lou stoning Tomas Kopecky? This was very Grant Fuhrian:
9. (October 20) "Hossa's gone! Hossa has a breakaway!" Yeah well Lou has an answer to that:
8. (January 14) That Niklas Backstrom is so shifty. But Lou butchers him on this play:
7. (April 5) Much like the save on Backstrom. But better:
6. (March 14) There are several Lou saves where he pops out his left pad to make a last minute stop on a rebound, but I think this save against the Wild was the quickest reaction of the bunch:
5. Desperation save vs Phoenix (November 21) I may have been at this game:
4. (December 3) If Lou wants to stack the pads to rob Patrick Kane he gets mad props, and the save goes higher on the list:
3. (February 14) Brad Winchester had nightmares about this one. Wow what a great lunging effort from Luongod:
2. (December 3) Oh. My. God. Eat it, Kopecky. What a save! Lou was on fire on this night as the Canucks beat the ChickenHawks 3-0:
1. (January 26) A massive toe save to preserve a 2-1 win over the Predators. This is my fave, but barely beats out the save on Kopecky at the #2 slot. Love Shortie's freak out:
Honorable mention: Dan Hamhuis, November 17 against the Penguins. Why? Because he's a Smithers boy like me:
PS: Mad props to NHL.com for having all the Luongo saves archived. I can say that after sifting through over 100 Lou saves, that he took a massive amount of shots off his chest or squarely in the pads because of his new butterfly positioning plus the play of the D in front of him. The butterfly style dumbs down the "WOW" factor so it wasn't so difficult to make a top 10 list. Shootouts were not included.

it’s looking like Luie’s poetry night was possibly his best game of the year…..

This article is a sham
Luongo doesn’t make good saves. He sucks

didn’t lose on Dec 3, that was his poetic shutout night.

heh ;)
I’m really interested to see how much hate you get going with that “top 10 kills of the playoffs” one. That ought to bring all the “you guys are sooooo classy” fools out of the woodwork.
I hope it does. I haven’t had to ban anyone in like 2 months

I have the regular season one scheduled for 9 pm and the playoffs one for 10. The hate will flow!

Just getting to watch through this now, but it’s a great list. Lu had a heck of a regular season, and a great playoffs except for those four games against Boston where his evil twin stole his identity and played in his stead.
Love #2 in particular.
