suolucidir Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Too many key playoff games where he had < .800 save%. Yes the team in front of him played poorly too, but that doesn't excuse him. "It's not a big deal because everyone else sucked too" isn't an excuse. That's why people dislike him, he choked in key games where we needed him. I personally don't mind Luongo, but I'm just calling it like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think any thoughts that lui and schneids would both be back next year were put to rest by this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngNMGN99 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 People who give Roberto sh*t should watch the end of season interview and see & feel the emotion in his voice when he talked about the ntc in his contract! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kassassin Train Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The simple fact is: Schneider is a better goalie. PERIOD. Next topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people should feel too sorry for him either, yes he took a lot of crap but that was while he made like 30+ million dollars. He's set for life. Not many people can say that after 6 years of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The notion that the 'fans have driven Luongo out of town' is asinine. If anything, the fans in Vancouver supported Luongo much, much better than he was in Florida and Long Island, by selling out every single home game. Is that not support? How would have this turned out in any other city? The exact same way. Fans as a group are no different than any other group, except in so far as some fans actually go to the games.

grandmaster Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 If he had won the cup this wouldn't be the case. CS as our starting goalie gives us the best chance to win the cup. Shameful, that you would call reasonable people morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kassassin Train Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Luongo needs to keep his yapper shut until the deal gets made. Unless something has already been signed, sealed and delivered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 There's more to it than just that, it's a soundbite taken out of a larger quote. Cfox: Any chance in hell you're in a Canucks jersey this fall? Luongo: Never say never, but I think we all know what's going on, we've all seen what's developed. At the end of the day I think it's time to move on, and I'm ok with that. I've had a great six years in Vancouver and I think it's a wonderful city. I really enjoyed my time there. Sadly I could never win a cup there, which is probably my greatest regret, but it was a great six years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:D Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 As if no one knew he didn't want to be traded. If you actually thought this affected our position in trading him you're a moron and you're the one that needs to shut your yapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson bay rules Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 From signing a 12 year deal 2 years ago to "it's time to move on" What a flake. Loved him for the first few years tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well stated. This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last time, that the idiotic media/fans rally against a player (or coach, or GM) in this town for no good reason other than the fact they've convinced each other (idiotic media/fans) that this certian person needs to go. Personally, I'd like to see several media (and thousands of fans) run out of this town myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I completely disagree with you. You can't say that, he did not have the same workload. That will be determined this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLumme Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Newsflash......every single home game would have been sold out whether Lui was here or not - this is a HOCKEY MARKET, it's not FLA or PHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Come on everyone here knows the only real solution to the Luongo - Schnieder issue: Keep both and change out goalies after EVERY goal. You see this will encourage both of them to get shutouts all the time. As soon as a goal is let in its the other's turn to start a new shut out streak. What a beautifully elegant and simple solution this is! No controversy just a system that works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 In case people haven't been following, trade talks for Luongo are going nowhere. Teams aren't willing to offer up anything of value because they know that there's not much interest in Luongo This at least could help bring more teams into the mix, and at least give Gillis some bargaining power. This can only be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brahma Bull Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 How can people not like Lou ? This guy is a class act and it really sounds like he wants to stay and have another kick at the sterling silver can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesler's Nose Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 It was the fan base who out performed him and pushed him out of a starters position? Oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
