Milk Hot Dog Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I was kind of shocked that people were not irrationally blaming him for the 1st round exist. People were finally seeing that it was the players & their mistakes in front of him that were making him look weak. He carried this team all season & still looked like he had the physical/mental strength to continue a long run himself. No doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrath_jason Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 What a great article. Still, Cory is the man of future; Luongo, of the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Roberto Luongo has better numbers than Patrick Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 One of the greatest to play the game when all is said and done. All he needs is a Cup to be a shoo-in for the HHOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBCanucks Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I truly believe Lu is an elite goaltender with an unfair amount of criticism but I think the relationship between the Canucks and Luongo is damaged beyond repair. I admit that I think Corey Schneider is the future of this franchise but I will really miss Lu if he decides to leave. As a Toronto-area Canuck fan I wouldn't mind seeing him wear a Leafs jersey but somehow I doubt it will be the same. I wish him all the best and really hope he and the Canuck organization can part on good terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmpunk Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 That article sums everything up exactly...There are no arguments against those points. But for some people, nothing will change and to them Lu will always be disliked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Luongo isn't fit to shine Patrick's shoes, numbers or not. To infer that the two are similar in dominance borders on absolute delusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 How about the fact that he didn't give the team a chance to win in Boston? Especially in game 6 when the team came out strong...he allows 3 weak goals in a span of just over 3 minutes. How about when he nearly blew the 3-0 series lead against Chicago? I've lost count of the number of times he's been lit up in the playoffs. If he allows 1-2 bad goals the floodgates open. He's either very good or very bad. You don't know which one you'll get each night. He's great as a regular season goalie, but unreliable for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricarboxylic Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm sure other goaltenders would be worse than what Luongo went through, during his few seasons with Vancouver. Tim Thomas? He would riot about his name not being upheld, but beign lambasted by Canucks fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 what a stupid argument that goes back and forth. Luongo sucks Look at his numbers 7 goals in game 6 against Chicago Look at his numbers 5 goals in game 6 against Chiacgo won a gold medal let in 15+ goals in 3 games in Boston PRESDIESNTS TROPHY@!!@##@# 7 goals in 2 games against L.A. Yea but he won 2 president's trophies and a gold medal Iam done, go cheer for TB, Luongo sucks and you're a terrible sports fan to cheer for a player irregardless of their performance.

Merci Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I really hope that the team take some time to actually read the posts here and see the support. Lets see the fans dishing out the negative take any of the teams position for one game, or even one shift?? Keep both Lou and Cory for another year?? Why not, Cory still needs to be put to the test, why he's only played a few here and there. Lets seem him play 10, 15 games straight and see how that wears on him. I honestly think Cory is great, and that he deserves an oppurtunity and for sure he will get that soon. To all those who are skeptical and negative about the Canucks team, take a look at where you are and who you are, CANADA is much BIGGER that vancouver. The fan base is much bigger than that of only Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
