geebster Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Boggles the mind aftter all that has been said by Lu, MG , Coryetc that you guys still say Lu wasn't shopped yet you can say with certainty that Lu wants to stay, and the locker room wants him to stay. I guess those in denial about MG's intent neer played "Connect the Dots" when they were young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi Babe Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Blah, blah, blah Translation: I can't refute any of the facts that you've presented, so I'll just pretend instead to deny their existence. All is always well in Canuckland, right Bertuzzi Babe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I guess approach to the topic means you've run out of arguments and/or facts to support your position?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Lu is the only "star" on this team that didn't take a discount to play here. Have you ever heard him refer to the fans when he talks about why he plays or who he plays for? No. He talks about his teammates and himself. LU is a great goalie and has performed well for Vancouver and I wish him well, but don't paint him as some kind of self-sacrificing martyr for the team.

King of the ES Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 If Luit wants the "problem" to be solved quickly, he should keep his comments internal with MG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's fairly clear that MG has tried to find a deal for Luongo, though we don't know what he is currently doing. We also know that, from what players like Burrows said right before the start of the season, that they would rather have him. Luongo has never been an issue in the locker room, or rather, all indications throughout his time here is that he has been great with them all. We do however, have no idea if Luongo wants to stay or doesn't want to stay, or even if he changed his mind on that one way or the other. We do know that MG has tried to trade him though, that is undeniable. Whether MG is STILL trying is totally unknown. We also are not privy to the types of deals we are getting offered and who those offers are for. MG right now he is playing it very safe, as he should, and is probably looking at a wide variety of options. IMO, there's no need to be hasty. Most important thing is that the team is succeeding, and right now they are so tinkering might be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I agree with a lot of what Bertuzzi Babe is saying, but I have to admit that the proof IS there that the Canucks were - and maybe still are - working on a Roberto Luongo trade. Gillis is usually pretty secretive and vague, but even he hasn't bothered to dance around the fact that Luongo is on the trading block. The good thing is, unless there is in fact some unrest with Schneider and his camp, everyone involved has seemingly found a way to deal with the situation and do their jobs. Similar situations, like Dany Heatley in Ottawa, got pretty ugly. The Canucks are lucky that their situation hasn't boiled over. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleman26 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BQafFhFKCs Can't even imagine who he's talking about here, when he says 'he would consider a new home' and 'we've looked into trade options but haven't found the right fit for the team' Please, who was that conversation about, in the two goalie platoon? Or, was he just being vague? How about this. The media, everywhere, is talking about MG trading his star goalie, how about you show me a single - ONE - quote where he mentions they're not looking to trade Luongo? Because that seems like the kind of thing he'd do, if Luongo was not being shopped. Where's your goddamn proof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheCrease Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 DId he not say in that same interview that he has not even considered trading Cory? If you believe what he is saying regarding the trade, you have to believe what he said about Cory. IN that case, the deal in place is for Lu.

coleman26 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 In fact, top of Google's search for 'Gillis Luongo Trade Denial' is an article, with video, of Gillis talking about how Luongo's contract won't be a deterrent to trading him.

King of the ES Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 If and when I see facts instead of media-or-fans-with-an-agenda-spun drivel, I will respond to them. Until then, I will consign those personal-agenda-driven ‘facts’ in the swill jar they deserve to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleman26 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 A refusal to respond is just code for 'I've been defeated', I've been on enough forums in my lifetime to know when someone is dodging having to admit that they're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskanuckfan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I would bet that Schnieder starts in Minny, Lou has been shakey there in the last few years, Give Schnieds his start and lets see what he's got. Also Mike Liut should know better than to spout off to the media! Boo Mike Liut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coleman26 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Eyeroll. Alright. I guess you win? He's having an entire press conference talking about trading him, and I guess you just turned it off before he was talking about it? Whatever. I have better things to do than deal with this thick trash. Believe whatever you want, without proof. I understand that's a good way to get credibility.
