Luongo and Schneider Revisited (or is it continued?)

[Strangelove]

I still thought that luongo outplayed Schneider this year too

I can say it now because Schneids is off the team... his panic attacks had me panicking a bit

[Hockey Widow]

Am I the only one who saw luongo say that he "just wants to be number one whether that's here of elsewhere" just after being eliminated this spring?

I remember seeing that and thinking that a Schneider trade was still possible...

I was one of those that said trade Schneider but shut up when it seemed a done deal luongo was gone

I still thought that luongo outplayed Schneider this year too

Cory may be a great elite tender but he also may not be any better than luongo is right now either

No, I remember that too. I loved CS game but I also agree that he didn't out shine Luongo to the point where I was worried about Luongo's game. People have to remember that CS will be a FA in two years and will get his 5-6 million LTC. For CS this is the worst case, a back up to Broduer for at least one year.

Now I do admit that the year before when CS was on his game I liked him in net better. But last season I thought Luongo played lights out and was back to form, maybe playing a little harder for a trade?

Its over. Lou will report, Lou will play great, Lou will win a cup with the Canucks and it won't get any sweeter than that.

[ClamRussel]

The math is simple.

Lu + return for Cory trade > Cory + nothing from Lu trade

What the fuck do people not grasp here? LUONGO STAYING IS NOT AN OPTION.

Management doesn't want him here.

Luongo doesn't want to be here.

Luongo's whore of a wife doesn't want to be here.

Do that fucking math, Jack.

You can't rebuild w/ Cory because he's already in his late 20s

LOL, oh really? Interesting rule.

its a no-brainer.

Yup, sure looks that way.

Me too!!
It was that Charlie horse whatever it was in game six against Chicago when luongo had to come in cold in OT that has always made me nervous

Btw I think luongo never hot enough credit for that in '11

What a relief eh

[Todd Bersnoozi]

No offense.... Todd... but you wouldn't know "common sense" if it SCREAMED AT YOU.

Common sense tells us that we don't know what the Canuck brass are actually thinking.

Ever play poker Todd?

U play poker by revealing your hand? You're a god-damn genius!

Point was folks just can't tell what the Canuck brass are really thinking at any particular point.... Todd.

I think today's trade proves that point.

[Topper]

Lou's personal reasons for wanting to be traded have not changed.

Was Aqualung there to tell Lou, "you made your beds, now you must step up and be loyal."

Depends on the reception he gets...lu,'s attituuude if you will as to which speech is utilized

[Todd Bersnoozi]

Well, if Lou really wants out, I won't mind if we just dump him too. He can just give MG a list of teams he's willing to go to and if he's willing to renegotiate his contract a bit to the new team (ie - like take a few years off it), I'm sure we can accomodate him.

You can't renegotiate these contracts.

A pretty god damned basic tenet that has been in place for two CBAs and the better part of a decade now...

[Todd Bersnoozi]

Hmmm... then considering nobody wants him cuz of that contract, he'd better suck it up and come play here in training camp. I guess he can also retire or sit out, either way is fine by me.

“I’m shocked,” Luongo told Duthie. “I have to let this sink in and figure out what I’m going to do.”

We're at the precipice. Canuck nation is waiting for Luongo's response.
