Trade Luongo, So Over Rated

[BJhunter]

1. Not a playoff performer...oops, I forgot, the canuckleheads will point out his performance against the Ducks TWO YEARS AGO; yes, they live in the past...the same playoff series, where he should've stopped the anaheim point shot from the blue line, after he was looking at the referee for a penalty...

2. Osgood is playing for his 4th Stanley Cup, behind a solid, much better team than these Canucks...

3. For $6.5million a year, or whatever amount he's ripping off the Nucks, you get a few quality players to replace the Sedins who are simply 'swiss cheese' after their non-performance, their supposingly 'decisive' break out year in the playoffs....

4. he didn't make the clutch saves, oh, sure, maybe off the havlat breakaway in the 1st period...but it means jack all when you don't keep you team in their after leads of 1-0, 4-3, 5-4...that's what you expect from a $6.5 mil/yr versus a $2million goalie...oh, how much does that Varlamov make?

5. Any STUPID team that makes the goalie a CAPTAIN deserves his lousy GAME 6 performance

6. why do you Canuckleheads think Florida let him go? please quit patting Nonis's back for getting him, the Panthers were just as stupid to take Bertuzzi...if Luongo was that good, they'd keep him, and definitely not at that price he was asking...he hadn't won jack all for Florida in his years there...

7. He let his team down; even the slow, old horse Sundin finally made an impact, even Daniel FINALLY scored to give the team a lead, only to see Luongo get beat by a ROUTINE WRAP AROUND, and then going way wide on Kane's hat trick goal to make it 7-5, thereby nullifying any hope of 'pullling the goalie for an empty net"...

8. the worst thing? his counterpart, the Bulin wall, didn't have to play well, our 'supposingly' advantage before this series started...and of course, the canuckleheads loved to point out to anyone who listened that the Chicago goalie hasn't beaten the Nucks in over 10 years or whatever...

Oh, I can go on and on, but I'm just going to relish in how pathetic the canucklheads actually thought this was a good team, lol, hahaha, ...

Gimme a fucking break. First of all, Florida didn't let him go. Keenan tried to resign him but it didn't happen so he traded Lu for Bert.

You let one of the best goalies in the league go and replace him with what? Cory Schneider, he'll be a good goalie one day but he won't be as good as Lu currently.

You mention Osgood. You think Detroit would rather have Osgood than Lu?
This is a waste of time

I'll take Osgood's 3 Stanley cups over Luongo's ZERO anyday

Truthfully, Detroit WOULD NOT WAN'T LUONGO-- why?

They've won enough Cups without bobby loo, haven't they?

you sure are a waste of time.

 

[bruce_lee]

I can see your point on Osgood. Instead of spending all your money on a good goalie, you build your team around offense. Being a good puck possession team like the Red Wings. They don't need an extraordinary goalie, they just need him to be a decent goalie. Osgood doesn't need to steal them the game, he just needs to not lose the game.

How do you know Detroit would not want Luongo? Are you fucking Ken Holland???

LMAO @ BJHunter finally coming out of the woodwork.


Let me address your points:


1. Yes, Luongo was not very good in the second round but at the same time you have to give credit to the Hawks. They have too many young and skilled guys and the Canucks weren`t as tight defensively as they should have been.

2. So? You do realize that the Wings have won those four cups in spite of Osgood not because of Osgood, right?

3. Sedin`s non-performance? WTF? They both lead the team in points in the playoffs with 10 points each. Admit it, the "Swedish Meatballs" did better than you expected.

4. Say what you will about Luongo. How did your boy Thornton do? LOL!!! Oh that`s right, he didn`t even help his team get out of the first round.

And you wanted him a Canucks uniform because of his "grit" and "heart". LMAO!

More of my thoughts on Thornton and why he sucks **** here:

5. What does the captaincy have anything to do with Luongo`s performance?

6. Uh...the Panthers DID try to keep Luongo. They offered him a five years at 6 million per. When he turned down the offer, Mike Keenan decided to trade him.

7. I`ll grant you that. The wraparound goal was a deflating.

8. Agreed. Canucks didn`t test Khabibulin enough.

Oh, I can go on and on, but I`m just going to relish in how pathetic the canucklheads actually thought this was a good team, lol, hahaha,

Losing in the second round =/= a bad team. Idiot. Chicago just happens to be an even better team.

Also, LOL @ you at coming out of hiding only when the Canucks are eliminated. Funny, you were nowhere to be seen when they swept St.Louis.

Now go back to hiding pls. What we learned when you were hiding is that the quality of the boards is so much better without you.

 

[HeMadeMeDoIt]

BJ Wow You're still alive!

I'll give you this, Luigi blew a game but the offesne was non existant for the series. Had the Nucks thrown as many shots on any of the previous games we wouldn't be in this predicament.

Quit your wanker like gloating specially that we didnt hear a word from you when they sweeped St. Louis! You're negative for the sake of being negative and its highly unbecoming.

Did anyone see the post game reaction from Bobby Lou ? He started to cry....what the fuck.....!!!!

I was unimpressed with his lack of leadership as a Captain. I was turned off by his head buried between his paws for the last two minutes. Thats not what leadership is about.

 

[JFF009]

BJH...I think it is safe to say that you've sucked wayyyy too much cock...that is the only possible explanation. I get it now...you've been asking about others all this time so you can visit them and improve your skills.

 

[6nanaimo9]

stanley cup winning teams dont give up 4 goals in the third period of an elimination game. face it the canucks choked. canucks were 2 mins away from being up 3-1 in the series then choked, that was the TSN turning point!

 

[blazejowski]

Funny thing is, in about a month only one team will be

...and that team will destroy Anaheim tonight....

Don't worry, Chicago won't get to the big dance - that card is reserved for us...

 

[JFF009]

The Canucks are in the running for the free agent Sweedish Goaltender (do not know his name) but he is suppose to be excellent. If they sign him then trading Luongo would obviously be something they would look at. Possibly Luongo has told the Canucks he will not sign here for personal reasons? I don't know this for sure but its a possibility.


PS.....Hey BJH, how about talking about things without being such a dick? You act like this is life or death. Relax and discuss things instead of being so over the top.

Great post HH,

I am a huge Luongo fan but I would entertain moving him if he decides not to resign over the summer. He is too big an asset to just let walk away at the end of the year. I also don't think Schneider is that far off. He has been a great goalie at every level he has played...so...

I agree with the relax comment as well. I am a Canuck fan. I don't stop living when they are out. I will still go to work, eat, drink coffee, watch some hockey, and probably see an escort or two...big whoop.

I have to say though that I was impressed with Gillis' first year. I hope they don't try to resign Sundin, but would like to see them try to keep Wellwood at his current salary level and the Sedins (if it's reasonable- $4M not $6M each). I still think they are 2nd line players. I know it is sad but Pyatt has to go as well. Just too slow. I thought Bernier was OK, and the fourth line guys were fine. I would love to see a healthy Ryan Johnson for a full year. I think if guys like Hodgson and Grabner can take that next step it would help the team skill and speed.

As for the D this series showed they are way too slow. That first Kane goal last night he just walked around Ohlund...too slow. Mitchell, Bieksa, Edler, O'brien and Salo can be effective in the right roles but Ohlund has to go...he is too soft, too slow, and doesn't care enough.

BINGO!!!


2. I'd even go as far to say...losing game 2 was the first turning point...

 

[InTheBum]

Step 1

Time for some change...

1. Get rid of Ohlund....old and slow
2. Pyatt...my god this guy sucks....USELESS
3. Let Matts go... he is simply too slow and can't play a whole season and long playoffs
4. Bring in a top of the line Defensemen
5. Sign the Sedins
6. Possibly trade Luongo and bring in 2 top 6 forwards
7. Get Cody H. up here

 

[BJhunter]

I dont think there was a reference to you by anyone since your sabattical and Im certain you noticed that.

Dude, you're dead wrong as usual, guess not surprising if you thought this was actually a "great" canucks team. unlike you, my expectations were realistic. Sweeping St.Louis was the worst thing for the team & the canuckleheads, now they thought they were REALLY good.

There were a couple of reviews while I was away, that still mentioned the infamous BJH scale, since I don't know how to copy and paste a thread, I go challenge yourself to finding it, lol....

That's if you can find yourself out of Luongo's many holes in his joc strap

 

[BJhunter]

I am a huge Luongo fan

I feel bad for you.

He choked under the biggest game of his career.

You have to realize that he isn't ever going to be a playoff performer. Given the amount of years he's played so far, it's getting unlikelier; compared to Roy and Brodeur, and what they've achieved at this point in their careers, you better jump off the Luongo bandwagon.

I'm a huge Roy fan, on the ice. I don't approve of his off-ice stuff, but boy, was he playoff goalie. I remember those Boston games where the Habs were just out-shot, out-hit, had no business...those '86 & '96 Cups, the habs weren't favourites at all but his goaltending was the DIFFERENCE.


To Luongo's credit, I support his comments earlier in the season when he was misquoted, but rightfully so, on the possibilities of him remaining: "I'm going to the team that gives me the best chance of winning the Cup". No doubt he's a fierce competitor. But way over his head; all this captaincy is STUPID STUPID STUPID; why do you think no other team appoints their goalie?

He isn't going to win here, that's my Mark Messier guarantee. Chicago was a far superior opponent than the Blues, I knew that before the playoffs started, but not the CH's

A great goalie having a bad game in the playoffs? STOP THE PRESSES!

Oh wait...

Roy did lose 7-0 to the Wings in game seven back in 2002.

Brodeur allowed 2 goals in the last minute in game seven against Carolina this year. Now he's golfing.

The point is, even great goalies can have meltdowns during big games in the playoffs.

I remembered those games fondly as well, Roy was something out of this world. But I didn't realize we won another cup in '96, does that mean we have 25 now???

I was going to correct you & say the Habs won in '93, but then I remembered he was with the Avalanche that year.... durrrrr...

Roy won the Conn Smythe and the Cup in '93 for Montreal.
