JV77 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Playing some of his best hockey so far this season, still one of the best goalies in the league. He will be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhuis Hip Check Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Am i a bad person for hoping he retires because of this? Or prongers LTIR trick? I have a bad feeling we are gonna get burned with that 8 million penalty for that last year and id like to avoid that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 8 hours ago, 250Integra said: He was not the same goalie after the initial groin injury with the Canucks. He was so athletic in his first few years with us, and then relied much more on positioning during his latter years. It could be a mixture of Rollie Melanson's coaching style, but it didn't look like he had the same flexibility, and he looked tentative to stretch out to make saves. I agree, Melanson or the groin took his natural athletic style to a robot type of fundemantals. I hope he can recover from this Florida needs him.

In a way, I think that made him a better goaltender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprised well not really that Florida hasn’t found a guy to split dities more evenly with there now 38 year old starter, sure hope he doesn’t start thinking about the R word. Or Vancouver will be in a bad place. Maybe he can develop a debilitating equipment allergy? I hear it can be quite detrimental to a player in his twilight years.

hockeyville88 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Almost identical to his injury with Vancouver. A very frequent goalie motion. Wonder what his movement will be like after his return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erkayloomeh Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I think he may come back but will not be the same goalie, or he will realize that and just not come back. can someone elaborate on the LTIR and give an opinion on whether florida would do this or not? or will Luongo just retire? sorry, not sure how it all works Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year his salary is 3 million something... the year after it is 1.5 million. I think it may be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not want to see Luongo hurt but I do not think that Pronger was injured all those years either. Just get Dr. Nick to declare him unfit to play and let him shift into retirement on LTIR.

bolt Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Cap penalty doesn't make sense. Florida is never up to the cap so wouldn't they just volunteer to take the hit. Penalize a team 10 years later is another reason the nhl is run pathetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
