ForsbergTheGreat Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 He had a groin injury... "HAD" if it wasn't healed they wouldnt bench the teams MVP of the two previous games for him At the end of the day luongo gave the team a chance to win games one and two. Cory didn't give us a chance for three and four even though the team infront of him was more awake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocklovich Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wonder if Florida would consider a Luongo for Campbell + pick (2nd / 3rd) cap hit is slightly more but for shorter term. It would have to be contingent on another Dman getting moved - most likely Edler or Bieksa & Booth + Ballard getting moved / bought out. Gives canucks a PP dman that already works well with Garrison, gets out from under the 8 or 9 seasons left on Luongos deal & a decently high pick Florida saves a bit of salary for the next 2 seasons, they get a former franchise piece that may help sell tickets & they get a steady cap hit (not sure how many 6.7m seasons left for Luongo) for the forseeable future which will help them stay at the cap floor. Its not the most glamourous move for Gillis but it does work on a couple of levels & I do think the powerplay would only get better with a Campbell - Garrison pairing on the point I am also curious about Washington as well after a pretty poor showing in game 7 by Holtby if they would make a pitch for Luongo (highly doubtful but still that was an ugly game 7 loss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Oh he told u himself he was still injured? Can u please provide me with a fact? Cuz he said he was ready to go for game one. He's horrible against San Jose? So we can never win if we have Cory vs the sharks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 At the end of the day Luongo will be gone by end of summer and you can take your idol worship to another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Good post. Reimer was neither a rock, nor scapegoat. Hopefully it's not just Nonis as a GM who has tuned out MG; which appears may now be the case. MG is going to have to put value on the table to make deals this summer. Card sharks will be smelling blood, and only a real offer on our part will get things done. I like Reimer. He has work to do besides his rebound control - he's got that Luongo jumpiness to him - but he was a young goaltender in his first playoffs. I wasn't entirely confident in his positioning, but still, I like how he played, and there's no way that loss can be hung on him. He had a great series and will only get better. I can't see Gillis and Nonis even talking, let alone getting a deal done. I think it's NYI or Florida, or some longer shots in Philly, NJ, Pittsburgh, Buffalo...

Pears Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 No one wants him or needs him or will pay the crazy asking price. Hes not here because either he or management want him to be !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuretoMogilny Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 You know how long you and others have been telling me its Cory's team and Luis gone??? Lonnnnng time.... and after Cory's choke-job in the playoffs its likely they'll move him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 You do realize that 1) Schneider was thrown in after not playing for two weeks 2) Schneider was still injured 3) Schneider is horrible in San Jose 4) Luongo's condo is on sale Need I or anyone else say more?

smurf47 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Lmao. Then the management is a joke. Why start a guy who hasn't played in over 2 weeks, who is injured over a guy who HAS played the last couple of games, who ISN'T injured, AND who has played spectacular.

Pears Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Spectacular???? No one on the Canucks, including Lou was spectacular...by quite a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstar Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Folks, there will be a market for Luongo this summer. Philly, NYI, FLA are all in NEED of a goalie. Philly will buy out Bryz this is obvious, Islanders have a 41 yr old Nabakov and a team that is now ready to push, Luongo adds a TON of value there. FLA - Markstrom crapped the bed, he is not ready and if they play him they will break him, FLA needs Lou as a tutor for 4 years (markstrom is 22), this would work well for them and then Lou backs up...makes alot of sense as well. Toronto is a maybe. Reimer played up and down in the playoffs. Washington same thing. Anaheim needs a real goalie. New Jersey needs a Brodeur replacement. There is a market, and MG got lucky. No need for a buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 You're also forgetting that Luongo isn't the only goalie on the market. NY Islanders, New Jersey, Washington, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Pittsburgh are the only teams that might be looking for a goalie, and this is with Mike Smith, Ryan Miller, Jonathan Bernier, Niklas Backstrom, MA Fleury, Ilya Bryzgalov, and others on the market. Luongo will have the worst contract out of all of these players (if Bryzgalov gets bought out) and he will have the longest term. Florida won't get Luongo unless if they think that Markstrom won't be an NHL ready starter until he's 31, which is kind of doubtful. The Canucks will have 3 options 1) Buy-out Luongo 2) Trade him for a severely reduced return 3) Trade Schneider instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 THAT sir..was not spectacular goaltending...some great saves yes, precipitated by poor positioning but great recovery....not text book by any stretch of the imagination...if you played goal..you might know that.

smurf47 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Lol. There are a few times that would love to have Luongo. Did you not see Nabokov's GAA against Pittsburgh? Doesn't mean they want him, and most who might, won't pay the price. I'm sure something will happen at the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrippledCanuck Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 That is AV's decision to make not Schneiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
