J529 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Brooke Ward says he has it from very good source the reason why Luongo didn't play in Heritage Classic is because of the tweet he made about Kesler. It upset alot within organization. Lui sitting out was punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeburn Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 cool he isn't a nuck anymore../ Shame he's not too, especially if this piece of speculation were to be true and fear for triggering another Kesler mood sparked punishing a man who, by then, had already taken enough of a beating in the name of righteous Canucks. (Next you know, there will be a rumour spreading that Kesler wasn't traded to PIT because he refused to waive his NTC to play half his current minutes for a quarter of his current glory behind Crosby and Malkin ).

DeNiro Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 That's a pretty weak reason if true. Just goes to show the kind of ego maniacs we have running things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrissex95 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yeah, I'm just a fan and I was getting annoyed with his constant tweeting about internal organizational matters. As I've conveyed before, nothing about the way this was handled on the Luongo end of things was professional IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 My Dad said this. Tbh I think both parties just don't like each other anymore. Luongo is blaming letting in 7 goals in the SCF and AV putting in Schneider on the fans that's his business. I may have sour grapes, but at least the team is starting to play hard.

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 This is kinda unrelated but... The real reason he got traded was because Florida got new ceo (on Monday) and was now able to afford Lu. He was going back to Florida the second he got traded. The reason he got traded to us was cause florida couldn't afford him so they were going to wait till they had a better deeper pockets. There is a reason his family stayed in florida all this time: he was going back there from day one. I am glad that I knew this and appreciated him while he was here unlike many other canuck fans who critized his every mistake. I will miss you lu, hope you win a cup down there.

youngdad Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Pretty weak if a crucial decision on who to put in net at a time when we desperately need points is made based on a tongue-in-cheek tweet. If this is true then clearly management is letting their own egos get in the way of their hockey sense. What a bunch of power tripping, insecure boneheads. "You won't be playing in the Heritage classic. Now go to your room and think about what you've done Roberto." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummer4now Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 There's no tweet Luo made about Kesler.. I remember hearing there was a tweet but he deleted it later. Also his kesler trade comments during a interview could validate this. Honestly if this is even true what a weak reason... Clearly some people within this organization don't understand his form of humour. I personally find it hilarious especially when he comments with other users on twitter like the iron sheik.

High Velocity Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The reason Lu didn't play ? He was already in play. Seems simple enough. I'll miss him, but am glad he got the trade he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
