ROBERTO LUONGO RUMORS

The Future Of Vancouver’s Goaltending

from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province, The decision over the future of the Vancouver Canucks’ goaltending position might be the most important of general manager Mike Gillis’s administration but, in analyzing things as they stand, there is one number that stands out for Roberto Luongo.

Why the Canucks are Terrible in Shootouts

The Canucks lost another game in the shootout on Thursday night, losing the game 4-3 to the Detroit Red Wings. While they didn’t deserve to win the game based on their play in regulation time and overtime, the shootout is a different animal. It usually has very little to do with the run of play.

Red Wings-Canucks wrap-up and overnight report: objective met, plus news about Bertuzzi and Howe

The Detroit Red Wings didn’t exactly dazzle and missed several opportunities to take definitive control of their perhaps karmically correct 4-3 shootout victory over the Vancouver Canucks, going 0-for-4 on the power play and only denting the twine behind Roberto Luongo twice over a 40-minute period of time in which they out-shot their opponents 30-11… But a win is always...

Did Luongo Ask ‘Out’ Of Today’s Game In Boston?

from Joe Haggerty of CSNNE, Maybe Roberto Luongo should stop wondering why nobody else ever wants to pump his perpetually saggy tires? The Vancouver Canucks goaltender has once again created a firestorm of criticism by simply doing what everybody predicted “Bobby Lou” would choose in the first place: taking the easy way out. No matter what the Vancouver coaching staff...

Roberto Luongo 'Sucks,' According to Netminder's Own T-Shirt

Roberto Luongo has been through a lot in the past couple of years. After becoming a Canadian hero for winning gold in the 2010 Olympics, things have gone a bit south. He posted less-than-stellar numbers in the 2010 playoffs as the third-seeded Canucks couldn't get out of the second round, and a year later, with a chance to win a Stanley Cup, Luongo fell flat on his face and insulted...
