Claiborne55 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 What the hell does "HQ" have to do with individual teams wanting Luongo. The Keith Ballard situation was just made public today, what makes you think Gillis can't find a trade partner for him, or even that he was trying to trade him? Tim Thomas was for cap reasons, and is in no way comparable to the Luongo situation at all. The only thing rotten in Denmark is the crap coming out of your mouth!

Nuxfanabroad Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 @ Tman. I enjoy hockey, but don't trust the way the NHL is run. It's a big business, that's had more than it's share of controversy. If you disagree that's all well & good. Have a fine day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Luongo is as good as any other goalie when it comes to handling pressure. Does it really get any bigger than your NHL city hosting the olmypics? Being the starting goalie... out playing arguably the best goalie in the history of hockey to win the starting job (brodeur hasek and Roy r top three in my books at no particular order) the goaltending was the difference in the game vs Russia early on and luongo held the fort. Then again he came up big in the highest pressure situation it vs bitter rival USA. Give me a break the guy feeds off pressure situations... no goalie has EVER been under the pressure he was in the Olympics and the 2010 hawks series than luongo was and he came out with flying colours Fold under pressure is bull ... he's been placed in so many pressure situations u expect him to dominate 100% of the time? No Last I checked Roy, brodeur, hasek, giggy, ward etc didn't have their teams absolutely fold in front of them in series they had success in. Luongo is a generational talent.

Boudrias Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Then other posters will accuse me of the tinfoil-hat, conspiracy-garbage. I ask you all:What would the media have said if Burrows or Lappiere cut Karlsson's achilles, like that POS Matt Cooke did?! Last yr they were accusing Burrows of "opening a door"(dirty varmint!!!)with malicious intent! Feel bad for our players-they'd better act like choir boys, whilst getting mugged..Or else! Take your time MG, & stand by your guns. God willing-may we get a worthy return(if you deem a trade as the best way) that helps us win it all!

Claiborne55 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The Olympic hockey story was the Canadian defence, not Lou's goaltending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Garon just left for injury in Tampa. I realize Linback is there but they do have a crap ton of prospects that will have a tough time cracking their top 6....food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Well...MG's record for one.... can this guy make trades? only one comes to mind is Christian Ehrhoff and I mean trades where MG was the winner... I don't wanna hear about Hodgson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claiborne55 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Probably beating a dead horse here but To Vancouver: Vincent Lecavalier, Brett Connolly, 2013 1st To Tampa: Roberto Luongo followed by To Vancouver: Daniel Alfredsson, Ben Bishop To Ottawa: Chris Higgins, Keith Ballard, 2013 2nd, 2014 3rd Sedin - Sedin - Kesler Booth - Lecavalier - Alfredsson Burrows - Schroeder - Raymond Kassian - Lapierre - Hansen Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Garrison Tanev - Barker Schneider Bishop A little bit more might need to be added from our end but I think it could be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claiborne55 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Kassian, Higgins, Ehrhoff, Lapierre...Hamhius, Garrison, Malhotra. Most of his acquisitions have resulted in upgrades. Booth imo was a good deal. Ballard, not as bad as reputed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 How is Malhotra, Garrison etc... a 'trade' ... sure Gillis can spend money... he's the one who signed Luongo to the mother load of contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Its called pressure. This market is one of the toughest markets in the league. Whereas in Tampa Bay he wouldn't have that kind of pressure, ideal for someone like Lu. You should already know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 DON'T touch the LeCav contract!!! Buyer beware! It'd be wiser to have Rick Astley sub in for Mark Donnelly's anthems, & Rick Roll the universe(HNIC, coast to coast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockNroLLa. Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 What YOU and your kind should know by now is if Luongo cannot handle the Vancouver pressure, no other goaltender can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Where I agree with you is that, the GMs frown up Lu type contracts and they see this as GMMGs mess and dont want to help clean it up. But at the end of the day what they NEED will determine the outcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
