Luongo starting tomorrow

Why do people keep saying this? Do you honestly think people don't already know what Luongo brings to the table after a decade as a starting goalie, 6 all-star appearances, a Hart nom, 3 Vezina noms, a Jennings, 2 Pres trophies, an appearance in the Stanley Cup finals, and an Olympic Gold medal?

How could 1 regular season game agains the Oilers in early February noticeably affect his trade value?

NO WE ARE PLAYING LUONGO BECAUSE HE'S BETTER AND GIVES US THE BEST CHANCE TO WIN...

It's not a joke... it's a 48 game season... u don't showcase ur backup for four games in a row. He's the starter because he's Roberto Luongo. He's the best... what don't u understand

Maybe aliens have abducted Cory and thats y Luongo is getting the nod?

Luongo will be traded. It is not like the management suddenly realized that Luongo is their goalie because he posted a SO and only gave up one goal on thirty something shots !!! He has been always an elite goalie, and he always posted impressive numbers in regular season (and even playoffs) There are a combination of factors like his age, contract, and playoff performance none of which has been changed since last season.

Schneider's got time on his side that's for sure. But the difficulties in Luongo's contract & the managments determination to not just give that asset away to me makes trading Schneider not only a viable but easier option. Anything can happen. Bare in mind that this is the regular season & Lu is Lu because of his constant success in regular season play. I am to the understanding that the question mark on Lu has been his play under the pressure of the playoffs. Also with him being slated to go he's relaxed & when he is he's great. What will happen if the pressure is squarely on him again? Has he found away to block that out & just concentrate on the play in front of him instead of his emotions about just getting scored on getting the better of him & letting another get by him? The dreaded 2 quick ones in big games are in my recollection of why he's on the block in the 1st place.

Yes, you are absolutely correct about Luongo being the better goaile, however that doesn't mean he won't get traded, not that in saying he is getting traded.

Just remember, Lu lovers are just as blind as Cory lovers.

You still want your trading partners to see him play when he's playing well.

Lets look at it another way, if Cory was on the block we know for sure that we would still need to showcase him and give him easy games to get his confidence going. That didn't happen Lou is the one on the way out.

Your argument is dumb. If Luo gets traded I can just as easily say when Schneider is playin they're showcasing him. Yup every game they're showcasing. A shutout against the Oilers is going to increase his trade value tenfold. :picard: You really have no idea. By the way, you won't love it if Luo leaves. Schneider has not proved at all he can be #1. And until he does, Luongo is probably not going anywhere.
