He was asked why the team was having trouble finding a trade for him and he responded “my contract sucks”. In context he was right. It didn’t suck for him. But it certainly lowered his value. He also wanted to be traded because he didn't start the outdoor game. Bitch move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy essentially quit the Canadiens because he was left in for too many goals against in 1 game. Also a bitch move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that has to do with the fact that he had a huge ego and overreacted to being left in too long in one game. He’s an all time great but he’s also a bit of a headcase. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is going to cost a lot but come on… How many player will we need to sign with that? 35 isn’t a lot when your talking Bo miller and brock podz entry level done to. then do you go with the short term mentality that Jb loved and look like a dear in the headlights when EP expire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok let me guess. In 2027, the Canucks will have $84,500,000 in cap space with zero players signed. …and you’re gonna tell me that’s not enough. Got it.

grandmaster Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 55 minutes ago, Alflives said: Yup. Luongo screwed us over. His name should be in their with Messier for big loser. Really. He was arguably the greatest goalie in Canuck history and backstopped us to a game 7 Stanley Cup final yet you compare him to Messier? If anyone got screwed over it was him when Torts embarrassed him at that outdoor game before he finally wanted out. If Lui didn’t want that office job, I’m sure he would have gone LTIR. At the end of the day, it’s his life and what he wants. He didn’t owe us anything. If you want to blame people. Blame that idiot coach and mostly blame that idiot commissioner that changed the rules after that contract was signed and approved by the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weber is done. He won’t be back on the ice He was up there in age and don’t pretend to know his health status. He didn’t owe anyone anything. He was free to retire whenever he wanted.

You’re being a bit ignorant. He came off the Olympics where played well and won his second gold medal. He was great in that tournament, had a good break to come back to Vancouver and was sat out. I was at the game. Every fan was yelling out Luongo’s name. We were pissed at how he was being treated. The bitch move was made by Torts and he is on the record later saying how that was a mistake.
