Lou. Florida or Vancouver. Where do YOU want to go?
What if Luongo actually was upset about all the negative comments he receives from writers. What if he was starting to think about what life would be like back in the hot sun in the east.
How would you feel if every day that you went to work, there was a good chance it was front page news material? Everything you did, replayed in slow motion to you, people starting every sentence with "Why" and "What Happened" all the time.
Why did you let in such a weak goal? Why did you play the puck behind the net? Why don't you seem happy to be here some days?
When he was in Florida, all we ever heard was that he was the only reason the Panthers won games. When Florida lost a game or Luongo let in a bad goal, it wasn’t his fault. His save percentage was insanely high because he just got peppered every night. People just assumed it was acceptable for a few of the 45 to 50 shots to go in, right?
Or is it really as it seems? How about this stat. In the last year Luongo played in Florida, his save percentage was .914 and his GAA was 2.97.
Last year was a stellar year for Luongo. He killed those numbers with a .928 save percentage and a 2.11 goals against average.
He's off to a bad start with an .896 percentage and a 2.97 goals against average. Which, oddly enough, is similar to the last season he played with the Panthers. We have gotten what we asked for.
So, what if Luongo was upset with how the media has treated him?
Maybe Florida isn’t so far from his mind.
