Our offense is so bad that we're here waiting for the goalie to win us games. We're literally saying "Hey Lu, steal us a game would ya?" Seriously. It's a terrible philosophy to rely on your last pure defensive player to give you wins.
Wouldn't it be better if we were hoping for more scoring from the team and then have the goalie come in as an afterthought?
That's not how the team is built. That's not why we signed Luongo to a lifetime contract. If that's how the team was structured (with a great offense and goaltending as an afterthought,) our Goalie would have a cap hit of 1M and we'd have more money to spend on offense. Say, if Lack were the goalie. Then things would be different. But we are a team built around the goaltender. That's how it is, so yeah, we rely pretty heavily on him.
