DeNiro Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Lol how many numbers can one franchise retire without winning a cup? No he should not have had his number retired. Ring of honour was the right call. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes down to does a retired number just depends on performance or is it performance plus something intangible. People want his number retirement will judge purely on the numbers and those that does not will factor in other things off the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 By you handle referring to Pettersson I assume YOUR history with the Canucks in very long. The antics Luongo got up to while playing in Vcr were his achillies . Was he a good goalie sure, unfortunately he orchestrated his own leaving to the team where his wife could keep a check on him. Vcr had a better deal planned with TO but he turned it down. He retired rather than go on LTI and that cost this franchise ( Mr Aqualini ) miilions of Cap space. He was dedicated to chesterfield rugby. If the guy had cost me millions I wouldn't have him in the building. He was the ultimate narcissistic. His humour was funny but generally sarcastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hmm....on it's own, I think this is the right choice. That said, I think what Lu did was on par with Bure, so I feel like there's an inconsistency there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 54 minutes ago, 24K PureCool said: A player that deserves to be in the rafters will suck it up instead of bailing. That 'my contract suck' quote sealed his fate for me with regards to jersey retirement. He didn’t “bail” because things got tough, not sure how or why you came to that conclusion. He wanted out because he got disrespected big time by Torts by being sat for Lack for the Heritage Classic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
