Roberto Luongo


"Lui" has 5 shutouts in 14 games so far this season, compared to the 6 he had last year, and the 5 he had the year before that. This stat seems to be a tad misleading to me though, as in the 9 games he didn't record a shutout, he has posted a terrible 3.79 GAA.
Don't get me wrong, he's a solid goalie and is one of the best in the league, and its hard to complain about going for a 4th straight shutout if your a fan of the Canucks. All i am saying is that he has much to improve upon this season if he wants to be the owner of this years Vezina trophy, and with Brodeur out 3 to 4 months, he could easily be the runaway favourite.
For the record, i think its a shame that the NHL won't allow goalies to wear the "C" on their jersey. Loads of soccer teams has their keepers as captains, so why not let Luongo rep it.
