Tanev's Smirk Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I guess I am just really confused. Every time Luongo played a bad game, or let in some goals, everyone was flaming him and wanting him out of town. Now he gets a microphone in his face, and talks with a sad voice..... and everyone wants him to stay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 2012 NHL Playoffs Cory Schneider: GP: 3 W: 1 L: 2 GA: 4 Roberto Luongo: GP: 2 W: 0 L: 2 GA: 7 Seems like Cory won more games than Luo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Situation Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 All that matters in playoffs are wins and loses. So your satisfied with just keeping the games closer and not winning? So your saying had Lu just kept the games closer in Boston, even though we still come up with the same outcome and no cup, you would be happy and satisfied?

Tanev's Smirk Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Funny why you left out last years stats, Oh yea, cause Lu is the better guy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllHailSmyl Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 And watch the fans look confused as Vancouver becomes a goalie graveyard again when Schneider crumbles under the pressure of being the #1 guy. Man I have a bad feeling fans will eat crow for wishing Luongo away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyLuoo Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Alright, this may be very opinionated, but alot of it is pretty much fact. With Luongo saying he's willing to waive his NTC, and even before he SAID this, alot of people wanted him out, and wanted Cory to stay. But my question is, how long til Cory faces this situation too? Luongo was brought in, everyone LOVED him. He played great, he had the drive and determination rarely seen. I actually think its sick how everyone is "giving up" on him. He's played MANY big games, and came up big. Sure he's had a couple bad ones, but name 1 goalie that hasnt. (do it, go on and try) Bascially, Vancouver is a goalie graveyard. Point blank. You can deny all you want, but in a couple years this exact situation is going to happen to Cory, especially if he faulters for a couple games, and Lack comes up and plays good. If you dont agree, thats fine. But the way I see it, Luongo was hardly given a fair chance from the beginning. Whatever goalie we do keep (and im honestly fine with either one) I hope things start to get better, before they get worse. But I know they wont.

Ocular Patdown Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 That was tough to hear. Roberto you're a class act. I will support you if and when you leave. You're the beat goalie this team has ever had. If you leave, it was a treat to watch you. I'll still Luuuuuuu when you make a save, regardless of the team you may end up on.

Hyzer Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hope he goes to Tampa, since Tampa is my 2nd favourite team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman60 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 He said that he would always do what is best for the team....classy response from Luongo. MG also said that he would be happy to have both Schneider and Luongo next year. That would be great if both goalies accepted that they were a tandem with no true # 1 guy. I have to say that the goalie situation has been a distraction for the fans as well and has caused a split.....and a lot of badmouthing each other on CDC. If they do comitt to playing as a tandem, I hope that the issue is finally put to rest.....they are both #1 goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If Luongo had kept the games closer, the rest of the team may have had more confidence to push harder. Of course we wouldn't be happy if we still lost, but the blame wouldn't have landed on Luongo had he kept them closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm sorry is this last year? I wasn't aware last years stats had anything to do with this years 5 game elimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MashedBananas Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Lu's willing (and probably wanting) to waive his no trade clause. It's official, we've pretty much run him out of town. I've been a Luongo supporter since day one, so I am really angry and upset right now. He was the reason we made the playoffs in 2007, he was the reason we became an elite team, he was the reason we made it to the finals, let alone didn't even get swept in them, and what did you guys do? "The Canucks lost one game, it was all Luongo's fault!" He's stolen more games then he has choked them! "Playoff underachiever?" Yeah that's why we made the finals. He's been trashed so much I wouldn't even want to stay here. I have so much respect for him for putting up with all of this. To all you Luongo haters (so about 80% of you) Good job, I hope you're happy. He hasn't been traded yet but it's pretty much unofficial that hes played his last game. Here is my sarcastic clapping for you. For Luongo, thank you for being the best damn goaltender we've ever had. Cory may become better, but you've lead us through some amazing times and helped us become the team we are now. You deserve better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Brown Burrows Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Contract length is my only real problem with Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdub69 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Well said! Louongo is a true pro! Class act, not his fault the team can't score, kessler and booth are mia whole year and they get no crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Ed Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Agreed. Vancouver doesn't deserve luongo. And definately wont win a cup next year without him. Be lucky if Schneider can even get us to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It's like seeing two beautiful women, one's a brunette and one's a redhead. Both look like they're open to a little conversation, with the brunette maybe being a little more intellectual but drinking a pricey red wine, while the redhead might be a bit more down to earth and happy with a vodka cocktail. Which one would you pick, or would you try for both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
