DeNiro Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 All this buildup, and it finally comes done to the final week. Something tells me this trade can only be a letdown at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thomas arguably had one of the greatest season and playoffs ANY goalie has ever had ... there's no denying that. He was great two years before that as well... But that's it. Thomas will never go down as anything other than a guy who played good one year... had a bad year and then godlike another year. Two great seasons doesn't make u elite. A career of dominance makes u elite. Ill also add that 2011 for Thomas was better than any year luongo has ever had. That being said luongo has done it for a living ans that's y he's elite. Not for just two seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 As a certified Lou basher; I also pay him his respects. Lou spent 10 years where year in, year out, he was a top 5 goalie in the this league. He's a Stanley Cup ring away from HHOF in some opinions... I'm not convinced Bernier will ever hold that kind of torch? Probably because Bernier has more upside than Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIlIlIIllIlIIIlIl Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Actually, the money he earns every year decreases until it's a million dollars a year for the last 2 years on his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Completely agree. Don't rule out Oilers. Reimer is a far better goalie than Dubnyk and TO still traded for a goalie. Times up in Edmonton, they can't keep selling the fans on a rebuild. With Gagner being available, there could be a deal there as long as Lu will waive his NTC. If Lu really wants to go to Florida he should be giving his own sales pitch to Talon and the Owner. Maybe donating some of his "terrible contract" or time to marketing the Panthers.

aGENT Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 10000 really Elvis? And only 1 lui fan? I said it from the start and my opinion was cemented after seeing the saga dominate the playoffs and Cory play absolutely horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuretoMogilny Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I agree with u I am a luongo Homer. I wished Cory nothing but success... after all I wanted my team to do well. The team I would kill for... but after the playoffs I'm confident in luongo as the better, far more experienced and more clutch goalie. Argue with me all u want... my opinion won't change until Cory proves he can carry this team to the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijannucksfan Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Would everyone stop suggesting a RD buyout? If worst comes to worst, Luongo WILL be claimed off waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I personally could care less if they have to take back $$ - I've always thought it was reasonable to take someone like Upshall - and with the compliance buyouts, the cap drop, the lockout b.s., and a couple of first round exits, I think it's reasonable that ownership might make an investment at an opportune time.

Boudrias Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Then neither was Tim Thomas. I think he's a good comparable. He was elite IMO, even if it was only for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 For te first time, oldnews ans Me_ agree on something: I said Tortorella's hiring might be pending whether the Canucks keep Luongo. Give him the choice of goaltender to go ahead with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 ... Lot's of us are Luo fans - moderates you might say - we just don't eat, sleep, breathe, dream, identify entirely and exclusively with him, and set our clocks to Luongo time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
