Mustapha Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I hope everyone's happy. We've basically run the best goaltender we've ever had out of town. Our past captain, and a core member who has put up with everything we've thrown at him. Captain Kirk McLean and King Richard Brodeur are honoured in this city, while Roberto Luongo is treated like the court jester who people have grown tired of when he doesn't blow you away every time. Good luck in the future Luongo. I'll be supporting you in the rest of your career, proudly wearing the jersey you signed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Battling just to make the playoffs? How long have you been a fan for? I seem to remember the Canucks being pretty damn good in the Naslund days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hornet Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 This is what happens when your fans keep turning on you. Plays amazingly well for two weeks, everyone loves him. Plays one bad game, and gets pulled, he gets boo'ed out of rogers arena. I don't feel sorry for him, I would want out of this city too. I just hope we don't do the same thing for Cory if he does become our number one goalie. Maybe no matter what, Vancouver will always be a goalie graveyard, with the fans and the media to blame this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I agree 100%. Before Luongo we were battling to just make the playoffs and maybe win a round. Now we're in a position to make the playoffs every season and have a shot at the cup. Fans will miss the days of having an all-star goaltender, and there's no guarantees that Schneider will become one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john bell Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I think Roberto has been put in a lousy situation and the negative commentary about Him is distasteful. He's still an excellent Goalie. I can't see why Lou would want to stay here at this point in this spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGC Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The Canucks were a one line team man. The defense was also nowhere near as good as the current set of guys. Naslund also made a habit of not showing up in the playoffs. The Crawford-era Canucks were nowhere near as good as the latest Canucks squad.

Merci Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Biggest deal the club has made since acquiring him. Hope he goes to TB and wins a cup. Cory, you're my first jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGC Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 How long have you been a fan? The first 4 years Naslund was here we didn't make the playoffs. Over the next 5 years we lost in round 1 three times, lost in round 2 once and missed the playoffs. When we got Luongo we lost in round 2, missed the playoffs (Naslund gets blamed and run out of town), lost in round 2 a couple more times then last season was the Finals appearance.

dragon Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have a feeling both goalies will be back next year If not, Schneider has a higher chance of leaving the team than Luongo I don't think Gillis is stupid enough to put Schnedier as our number one goalie and have some guy who barely or never had NHL experience to be the backup.....that will fail big time Luongo has played full seasons before, Schneider hasn't and therefore is not proven that he can play a full season without a reliable backup...unless we trade for a good backup goalie Luongo will stay I'm sure of it but I hope Cory stays too and Lu be the backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_Man Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Luongo Raw: What great character this loyal, dedicated, selfless, courageous, professional young man has. Talk about "raw" human emotion spoken from the heart. A giant amongst giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Situation Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 All I will say is that I hope all the haters in this city are happy. This city doesn't deserve to have a great goalie like luongo seeing as how he's been treated during his service here. If I were Schnider, I would seriously reconsider taking a deal here after all the crap this city has thrown in Luongo's face.. he's seen it and has remarked on it numerous times. Its pathetic and its sad. Whatever you decide and wherever you end up next season Lu, be-it on another team or right back in the Vancouver net where you belong, I will support your decision and will always be thankful for what you've done for this franchise.

bahaazar Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 LOL no one ran him off, he is simply done here ... real pros dont worry about fans. He wants to be in Tampa and Cory fits the canucks...hopefully we dont sign him for more then a 3 year contract...those long contracts seems to breed complacent players. I agree, Luo did do well here, but seemed to get alot slower this year....Cory is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
