King of the ES Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I will point out again this is baseless and asinine. They are not frustrated, they are not annoyed, the locker room is not awkward, and there is no distraction. Every singles report and quote has been contrary to this dribble.

Bertuzzi Babe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't know how old you are but your showing great immaturity here. As I've pointed out before and I can even agree that Luongo probably wouldn't rate the situation as a 10/10 but in case you haven't reached 34 yet, by time you do you start learning more about life. This is not something you would let ruin a relationship for at this age. It's called maturity, everyone knows MG is working on making everyone happy. Some things take time and at 34 you don't need to stomp your feet and pout, you realize other people count too. Something you seem to not quite understand.

The Bookie Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 OK King, but here's what we're doing....we're holding you to this and, when it falls apart (your theory that is) then it's ban time? (your inner troll is shining through) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi Babe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 That should not be a surprise. Of course a rosy picture is going to be painted to the public. This is the part where you need to activate your common sense. Schneider signed a new contract prior to exposing himself to an offer sheet because he was told that this was his team. He's filling the shoes of the best goalie this organization has ever had, by a mile. That, in itself, is hard enough to do. But now, he's gotta do it with that same guy looking over his very shoulder on the bench! You can be sure that virtually every single goal that Schneider lets in will be met with the "would Luongo have stopped that?" commentary. If Schneider has a bad game, on comes the "Luongo should be starting!" crowd. The pressure on this kid is unbelievably high. Having Luongo hanging around is not a good thing. And Luongo is clearly not happy about the situation. Again, common sense needs to apply. He's asked out. He'll be 34 years old in April. Not a lot of time left to try and lead a team to a Cup. Think he's pleased about playing second fiddle to a first-time starter? Think about it. He's also starting to give subtle signals that he wants this taken care of fast. His comment to Lavoie the other day was something to the extent of "I'll stay for this shortened season, but that's it". Something like that, anyway. He is not happy.

theminister Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 That's a joke, right? If someone's violating board rules, ban them, but the idea of waiting to see if a poster's pre-season predictions come true and basing your decision on that seems ... ridiculous, tbh.

Baggins Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 And no, I am not "hating", so please don't suggest that I am. This is an opinion of mine that I am fully entitled to. Feel free to debate and/or include your own prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 For crying out loud, can everyone please stop with the "they're friends" argument? It is just ridiculous. Luongo's 34 years old and will not want to be Schneider's backup. If they are indeed "friends", this is the exact thing that will create a divide in their friendship. Open your eyes! Lu's not going to sacrifice the last few great years in his career to be "a nice guy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Every team is marginally better than last year at this time of the year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearloch7 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 That's certainly not the only downside. Schneider is not happy with Luongo being here, Luongo is not happy with Luongo being here. I don't care what they say in front of the camera, any reasonable person should be able to figure that out. It's Mark Sanchez & Tim Tebow. If Schneider is outshone by Luongo, that makes it look stupid to trade Luongo. If Luongo is outshone by Schneider, that makes Luongo's perceived value even lower, which translates to a lesser return.

drdeath Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I like this thread. It falls apart where he predicted Calgary having a good season but still. Good troll, 5 pages of replies in 8 hours. You get an 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Luongo and Schneider are both elite goalies .. neither Tebow nor Sanchez is elite in any way .. thus your comparison is pure bollocks .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi Babe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 And what's your version of how these two feel about everything? Do they hold hands together en route to games? Tie eachother's skates? Come on. If you think they're happy with this, you're simply drinkin' the kool-aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Two stellar goalies that are annoyed and frustrated with the situation, and who will both be under insanely heavy pressure, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
