Dildo Faggins Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Madness would be trying to keep Luongo when we finally have the chance to free the team from this curse. That would be like a guy on death row in Alcatrazz who manages to escape, and then gives himself up after. Face it, it wasnt meant to be. His time on the team is over. He's had ample opportunity to prove himself capable of playing consistently at the level required to help take the team to go all the way but has failed.

soshified Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 So you can say it to who? Gillis? Or the fans who have absolutely no control over who gets traded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocnhockey Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I don't see anything wrong in letting Luongo know that he has hundreds of fans here who would like to see him stay with the Canucks. He never said he WANTS a trade, only that he would lift his NTC IF that's want management WANTS. People need to make their sentiments known via e-mail, letter, internet, twitter, facebook, at the least, Luo will be able to see just how much he's appreciated by people here in B.C. Just heard Don Cherry on CC telling, once again, Roberto to get outta here, he's not appreciated and how the Canucks will be making a big mistake letting him go...blah blah Cherry really needs to stuff a sock in his mouth! IMO, if they do in fact let Luo go and keep Schneider, this franchise will never be the same again...a big turning point... and not for the better either.

toyotafan Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 As Luongo said himself he is willing to be traded to do whats best for the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day one Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I support Luongo too, but, the writing's on the wall and he knows it. Everyone knows it. Still no guarantee that Schneider will sign long term with the Canucks, though. Have to remember Tim Thomas's contract expires after next season. If Mike Gillis trades Roberto Luongo --- even if he's simply honouring Lu's trade request --- AND manages to lose Cory Schneider to the Bruins as a UFA after next season, HE'LL be the next one to go for sure whether AV's still here or not.

ssir_78 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 They need to have a sit down and see why Lu wants out. In his own words. Then they need to determine wether he still wants to play here and win a cup. If we can get him to stay and he wants to that's our best chance to win a cup next year. The chances that we even make the playoffs with Schneider starting are very questionable. /signed save lu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js604 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Stupid. Starting a Save Robert Luongo Campaing/Group Therapy will drive the man away even more because it makes him look weak. The man is a professional athlete with a ton of pride and ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshified Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Schneider can be average all year if he wants to be, so long as we get into the post season, where he's already proved to everyone he doesn't cave under pressure. Rather, he seems to thrive on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssir_78 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Luo say he would waive his NTC if asked. I don't remember hearing him asking for a trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanstorm Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 We were 1 GAME AWAY from THE CUP you FREAK'N MORONS and you want to drive our #1 goalie out, you guys are rediculous everyone bashing has not a single right (well you do) you just make yourselves look like a disgrace. Luongo is the best goalie Van city will have because no other elite goalie will want to play for us after we run someone like Roberto Luongo out, THANKS ALOT AS$HOWLERS. edit: I believe Schnider would want out even before Luongo, and what makes people think Schnider is going to stand on his head every game? He's let in some soft goals too, played the puck when he shouldn't to turn it over and get scored on, not one goalie is perfect yet Luongo is doubted constantly after two Presidents trophy winning seasons.

DIBdaQUIB Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Apparently you missed the firing of Ron Wilson the game after the fans were cheering "Fire Wilson". Burke said that he wasn't going to fire his coach and then after this he was gone. So yes the media and fans have a direct impact on what you see on the ice. You don't think everyone would be calling for AV's head if they didn't play Schneids and they lost with Luo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehamburglar Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I hope Schnieder goes and Luongo stays. I really don't want Schnieder Lack as our starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
