My point was more to the effect that he was brutal in the first period of the first game he played for them. And that's all many people remembered. I've liked how he's played since that game, especially in Buffalo. <br/><br/>The reality is the pressure on Sabourin won't change even if he plays twice a month. Same goes with Scott Clemmensen in NJ...these guys almost never play, but if they get shelled when they do, then obviously fans are going to think they suck. I think Sabourin just needed a chance, the Canucks are on a roll, and Vigneault rolled the dice on it. I’m not, nor was I, assuming he sucks.

We just don't know much about him becuase he doesn't ever get a chance to show his stuff regularly. So people assume he sucks. <br/><br/>It's hard to expect a kid to play once a month and not start out a bit shakey in each game.<br/><br/>That, and the team never scored for him until they got to Buffalo.

That, and the team never scored for him until they got to Buffalo.

Besides, he's still the only backup we have at the moment! If he gets shelled, they better start carry Luongo around like an Egyptian queen rather then risk him falling down a flight of stairs.

He really did play great against the Sabres. With a weakened Anaheim team coming in, I'll give him the benefit of a doubt. Depends on if the team in front of him picks their game up entirely knowing Lui isn't back there to save their ass. It’s possible he’ll do ok. He really did play great against the Sabres.
