cmpunk Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 If you think I'm 12, so you felt threatened and scared by a 12 year old?....don't need to say anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peejay Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 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.

tigerwilliams for pm Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Luongo is better. Keep reading those three words until it gets stuck in your brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Goalies like Lu are not just average goalies that decline. Thomas won his job back and the cup at age 36. He didn't decline, rather increased. Brodeur just took his team to the SCF again at age 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucks_rule1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Luongo got his job back pretty much, the future is still not to certain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmpunk Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 But Cory is not playing is he? MG is a GM who likes to trade in control. Is he in controll if the goalie is on the bench waiting for a trade? No you play him, showcase him and your in control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I love Cory too don't get me wrong. Played terrific for us and is extremely personable... no one dislikes him. I love this city and my Canucks. Luongo is our best chance at the cup that's y I want him to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
