Th only time Luongo was poorly treated was not getting the game 3 start. That decision maker is gone.

He was treated like 2nd fiddle all season long, being linked to trade rumours since over a year ago, was treated like he was going to be traded ever since, the cherry on top was just what you said, a half busted up Schneider getting the start over him even though he was playing well.Topper wrote:Horseshit.SKYO wrote:Can't imagine Luongo being none too happy about this after being dragged under a fucking bus all year

I think the Canucks deserve a lot of respect for that.
I find it hard to feel sorry for luongo..legitimate sorry anyway...cuzillionsaire and all..Hockey Widow wrote:The way the Canucks have handled this today you know they know Luongo very well. I think they deserve some credit for doing it the way they did. NJD are well known to nix deals if they leak and this one didn't get out at all. Its too bad CS heard it by a text from Duthie, I'm sure MG would have liked to have been able to make that call a few minutes earlier.
I liked CS and am sorry to see him go but I like Luongo too and would have been just as sorry to see him go.
What I think more than anything ownership has nixed the buyouts thus we see CS traded and Edler being shopped. MG has to clear cap space and he isn't getting a pass from ownership and somehow that is the way it should be.
Luongo is tweeting now but not saying much. Just that he hates NTC and his frigging contract.
Feel sorry for him? He handled the trade deadline like a full on drama queen, and now he has to come back with his tail between his legs. He's the one who signed a 12 year deal and he has to live up to it if the team wants him to.Hockey Widow wrote:I don't feel sorry for Luongo at all. He was more than happy with his contract and NTC when he signed it. Moving forward I only care about how well he plays for us and getting that damn cup!!
I think he's just venting (not the best place to do it, but oh well....) because he was emotionally and psychologically looking forward to a new start somewhere because it was a safe assumption that the Canucks were "Cory's team" and he was gone. Now that that rug got pulled out from under him, no doubt he'd be slightly torqued. He's been through the emotional/psychological/egotistical wringer this past year and a bit so I'll cut him some slack.Hockey Widow wrote:I don't feel sorry for Luongo at all.

My only concern is that Lou's response was something along the lines of, I don't know yet, I need time to let this sink in. I'm going to call my agent and decide what I'm going to do.darren wrote:Yep. If that strombone tweet was legit: "I'll stay and back up for free if they let me sit in at every Torts press conference", it sounds like Lou will get over it quickly enough. That isn't a joke made by somebody who has mentally checked out and wants to GTFO of town.Hockey Widow wrote: Let the Lou chants reign for another 9 years!! ANd when he hoists that cup the tears will be extra special.
