ok the technical explanation i heard.
MB is a stand up goalie. all the goals he's given up have been along the ice, because the defense is allowing to much traffic in front of him.
luongo is a butterfly goalie so he handles the low shots better and the traffic will bother him less.

now in my mind, it stands to reason opponents will start to shoot high?
it sounds to me like they need to play better defense and clear the traffic from the crease?
