Starting his 18 season career at just 20 yrs old and only 3 times had a than a save % under 9.14. The other 14 season he ranged from .915 -9.31. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=26791 Demko still has a long way to go to match those numbers.

Nobody knew there'd be such a stuff cap penalty at the time of signing.. and the guy had to retire because he gave his body for this sport and it caught up to him. Played with his heart on his sleeve here. Today's huge for the organization, appreciating the best goaltender to ever play for us. Maybe you guys could suck it up, get over it, and enjoy the induction like the rest of us. No thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lui doesn’t really need to be defended to this fanbase. His stats speak for themselves. His accomplishments can’t be denied. It is what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone have one, please retweet! I hope Lui will see this! Not to be all picky about this but you haven’t tweeted so long that it’s no longer called Twitter… Twitter is dead It’s a completely different thing now… no longer a leftist platform… And its called X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John.Tallhouse Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Luongo is the greatest Canucks goalie. That’s a fact. comparing him to Demko(at this point) is absurd. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.AM.THE.WALRUS Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) Name me one other goalie who’s ever been a captain of a modern NHL team? There’s a reason why he was named captain he was the best player on the team… Naslund tipped his hat to Luongo and said he changed the entire team… I will say this that after his injury during that midday game in Pittsburgh he never was the same… If he would’ve stayed healthy he would’ve been lights out for many years but he never was quite the same after that game… Until that game he was the Jimi Hendrix of goaltenders… He was on another level Edited December 15, 2023 by I.AM.THE.WALRUS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 It was so silly to have our Goalie as the Captain. Gimmick. Hope its not too luongo of a ceremony. I'll tune in at 7:30. Go Nucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 As far as Panthers game, it's going to be tough. Cats got shutout 4-0 in Seattle last game and they are hungry for a win. Both teams have similar records. Like to see that same effort as last game. Full lineup with Suter and Bleuger. Only guy missing is Soucy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look we all know we didn’t win the cup and it sucked because at the end of day it’s about winning 4 games in a series. He is the best goalie we have ever had that set records for goalies ever to wear a Canuck uniform. Salute him and honour him or just say nothing because you’re missing the point on what tonight represents. Go Canucks! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to back presidents trophies that 2011 run they were great man, overcame Chicago, Kesler single handedly dismantled the Predators, and KB3 got that JUICY bounce in SAN Jose. Lou was unreal particularly in the Chicago and Sanjose series. Looked like a completely different player in the SCF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t believe we have to defend Bobby Lu. Ridiculous. Best goalie I’ve seen in person playing that position since Captain Kirk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
