How is Fleury's record pertinent to this at all? The guy who wrote the article was a failed junior player and he felt the need to talk down to Luongo. I'm not a Luongo fan at all. I'm in the "Canada won the Gold despite Luongo, not because of him" camp. But there was still no real need for this article. It was mildly entertaining but in the end just came off as trolling (much like you are right now)

I didn't say it was pertinent, I just threw it all in there before someone else saw that I'm a Penguins fan and decided that I didn't know anything about goalies because my favorite team decides to not play proper team defense come playoff time.

In relation to this blog and article, I really don't understand why people view Luongo as some sort of awesome goaltender. It really seems to me he isn't.

It was pretty over the top and somewhat condesending towards Luongo. I thought it was kinda funny to begin with but I really didn't see the need for this article to exist, at all

I've seen far worse things written about Louongo, with far less valid points...

I get that this guy is promoting a book, and wants to generate interest, I just tend to agree with his view. If Price does well, Lou may not see a game.

People confuse insulting and trolling all the time.

Luongo was already announced as Game 2 starter. It's been the plan all along to have the two main guys split the first two games. Who starts game 3 against Finland will be the telling game.

I believe Lou is a great goalie, but feel Price is the better tender leading into these olympics.

But who are we kidding? You could put Glen Healy in net, and Canada would still probably win...Does a tender debate really matter?

Hey. Im a Montreal fan and a Price fan. And bsed on how each guy was playing coming in to the Olympics I think Price is clearly the guy they should be relying upon, but I still didn't see the need for that article beyond self promotion

That's a decent offer.

I asked for Zuccarello with Perry as well(don't know if I spelt that right, but it's the midget from NY).


Didn't think it was total trade rape, but I could see why he turned it down.

Who is arguing the article had an ulterior motive?
All I was saying is that this article was hardly a "troll" on Lou.

I didn't see the troll in his article.
He says Lou is a good goalie, but Price is better.

So apparently, when Lou isn't getting his tires pumped, it's a troll?

I don't understand why this guys logic, which is bang on, is such an offensive belief to this blogger.

You might not have seen the troll in the article, but I see the troll in your post. #fail

Clarkson available for a top scorer or goalie. Would also likely need a 1st in the deal.

Vantel offered Hossa straight up for Stamkos...tough call, I really want to accept both deals. Someone throw in a 20th rounder and it's a deal.

It's sarcasm day in the pool apparently.


But yes on a serious note, I wouldn't rule out dealing one of my stars for yours, but I value mine higher when I look at all of the categories.
