Strawberries Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 if he goes to T.O. the equipment guy will have to put LUGONGO on his sweater so Cherry can finally get it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagin Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Interesting post. I'd argue that "Luongo haters" are free to do so just as you are free to swing from his sack. By your logic, if Luongo is actually traded anywhere and becomes a complete fall-down (no belly flop pun intended) all the "luongo haters" should be shoving that down the throats of the Luongo nut-huggers? Imo, the day he no longer plays for the Canucks is the day I personally quit caring. Management makes the moves and decisions, not CDC. So whoever dresses for us between the pipes next year I will certainly support, even if it is Lu. After all....it's canucks fo life........right?

Noheart Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Luongo is a playoff goalie. How could you possibly say he's not a Playoff Goalie? Oh yeah, I guess you completely forgot him getting 2 Shutouts in the SCF, single-handedly shutting out the Hawks in Game 7, Out playing Pekka Rinne. Yeah, he sucks.

Noheart Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 ....Statistics mean zip.Lou below average lost 2 games/Cory highest save % in league lost 2 games...A loss is a loss, oh but Cory didn't lose by as much....And this did precisely what for the team.

Noheart Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 ....It's funny you should make mention to the belly flop,I haven't heard 1 mention of the many belly flops used by both Brodeur and the goalie setting all the goaltending records in history ( Quick ) in last nights game.....by anyone. Of course it's not Luongo is it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleJack Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yes if Luongo goes there he will put them in the playoffs aswell as save Burkies job. I gotta say that I would be unhappy that they make the playoffs because then we wouldn't have a team to laugh at. and when our team struggles we wouldn't be able to have that thought that "Well atleast we can make the Playoffs and we aren't as bad as Toronto" And after talking to some clueless leaf fans alot of them would consider getting Luongo as, doing a favour for us by taking his contract off our hands. Oh well I would be happy for TO since there huge playoff slump would finally be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If Luongo goes to Toronto they will further embrace the belief that they situate the center of the universe. Thus I am hoping Luongo chooses Florida and Florida chooses Luongo - that would be best for all concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Lunogo has no chance of surviving playing in front of the Leafs defense....on top of that, how many times does he has to play the Burins??? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd84 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think if Burke continues to add pieces they will get there. Luongo will definitely help them make the playoffs though. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up there. Would be kind of mad and dissapointed in him though because he would of chosen the worst option because he will be severely critcized in Toronto just like he is/was in Vancouver.

John Garret's moustache Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 lol, If Luongo can't win a cup here, why do you think he can win a cup in Toronto, of all places... they treat their goalies worse than us... Oh, and they suck, adding Luongo will maybe get them 8th seed... but he's not gonna make them a competitor lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gino Odjick Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I live in Ontario right now and I hear tons of people begging for Luongo to come here. The fans here want him. They can appreciate what they don't have - a reliable goaltender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 For Burke's sake, he has to get Luongo. When you look at it, the team on paper, looks a lot better since he has taken it over. He has made moves, some worked and some haven't. I think the main problem is how he has aquired some of those pieces. Here are the hits and misses. Colby Armstrong - Great addition, just paid too much for him. Bad move. Phil Kessel - Great addition, just mortgaged too much in draft picks. Salary is decent though. Unless Kessel re-signs with the Leafs after his contract is up, this trade was a complete bust. Joffrey Lupul - Very questionable at the time. People were happy that he got rid of Beauchemin(, as he paid too much for him. However, Lupul was considered high risk at the time and his salary reflected that as well. If he puts together a second straight career year, this was a brilliant move by Burke. Jake Gardiner - Another great throw-in the Beauchemin trade. Although I feel as though people are too quick to name him the next great defenseman, he certainly had a good first year. Good move. Dion Phaneuf - Great move, and I hate Phaneuf. The only piece that they should have tried to keep out of that deal was Ian White, who has certainly blossomed into a very reliable top 4. However, Burke fleeced Calgary on this deal. The only problem is the salary. It's not up to Burke to make him captain, that needs to change as well. Otherwise, it was a good move. Mike Komisarek - Absolutely atrocious signing. I liked Komisarek in Montreal, but even I felt on July 1st that Burke overpaid for him. Horrible, horrible signing. Kris Versteeg - I love Versteeg, and he was a Jets killer this last season. However, Burke gave up too much in this lopsided trade. However, Burke did manage to get a first round selection out of the Flyers for him, so not too bad. Tomas Kaberle - Not too sure what Colborne will turn into, but he also managed to get a first and a second rounder out of this trade. Definitely a win for Burke on this one. Probably some more trades and signings. But all in all, the players he has added should have made the team better, as they look better on paper. However, it is how these players have been aquired (salary) and handled that has come into question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I'd say Steckel was a good signing. Connolly? Not so much. Franson and Lombardi for Lebda and Slaney was pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kass9 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The only thing I want from Toronto is the fifth selection. Screw the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabychStache Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'm hoping he goes to Florida and Theodore comes back the other way. Simply so I can get a Theodore Canucks jersey, that's my sons name! Now, if they could get Tyrrell out of TBay we'd be set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Person Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I don't want Luongo going to Toronto because I'm a fan of Luongo. If he had to leave, I'd want him to win a Cup (but the Canucks would win as well) or go somewhere like Tampa or the Panthers where his family is nearby. I know they're not really in the sweepstakes, but just saying. I'd hate for Toronto to get Luongo. I hate the Leafs (mainly 'cause I have friends that are cocky Leafs fans).
