I am going to quote the recap from Bertuzzi187 on the CDC forum today:
- Thinks Roberto was emotionally fatigued from the Olympics, which lead to his inconsistent play
- Has plans regarding a full time goalie coach, Roberto's captaincy, but wouldn't talk about it.
- Isn't going to build the team for next season based on defeating the Blackhawks in the playoffs.
- Thinks the team will be very competitive next year.
- Believes the Hawks will win the cup
- Has mixed feelings about how San Jose lost in 4 games and the Canucks won 2.
There's that "fatigued from the Olympics" crap again. Hey, if that's the case then maybe NHL'ers should not partake in the Games. Seriously, we have a Cup to win here. That's more important than a gold medal.

Didn’ t hear the interview, but emotional fatigue is obviously having a devastating effect on Toews, Richards, Keith, Seabrook, Kane, Pronger as well. Possibly so devastating that one of those guys might have trouble lifting the cup. What a pile of BS.

Fucking
emotional fatigue. Damn, good thing there are no Olympians on the Flyers and Hawks. They would have really been screwed!
Just give the Hawks the cup, give us Hamhuis and start up the 2010-2011 season.

Maybe they should have rested Luongo a bit more then?
Just saying. I certainly think he should have gotten a few extra games off at the end of the year.
I did think he looked tired. And it IS different for a goalie. But also on the coaching staff to say “no, you’re not playing tonight”, even if he wants to.
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.
Exactly. People point out that the two remaining goalies didn’t starts whole lot of games, but what they don’t point out is that they also weren’t a part of the Olympics either. In the second round, only 3 of the 8 goalies left actually played during the olympics. And Nabokov sure wasn’t the reason the Sharks went to the Conference Finals this year (he was average though). Luongo could very well have been tired from the combination of lots of games played in the second half of the season and the emotional exhaustion from winning the Gold medal at the olympics. I don’t think it’s the only reason he struggled (see my earlier fanpost for my thoughts on that) but I do think it was a factor.
Either way though, I think Luongo will come back next season better then ever – fresh, with a cleared head, a full-time goalie coach to help him out, and a shutdown defenseman to keep things from getting chaotic in front of him. I may even go as far as to say that he’ll be a Vezina candidate next season. But that may be a bit of a stretch. I’m confident he’ll bounce back though.

- Thinks Roberto was emotionally fatigued from the Olympics, which lead to his inconsistent play
Roberto wasn’t playing consistently heading into the Olympics; I don’t think the Olympics affected him at all except for the fact that he didn’t get a needed rest.
Has plans regarding a full time goalie coach, Roberto’s captaincy, but wouldn’t talk about it.
If you’re spending that much money on a goalie I think its worth the extra dough to have a goalie coach there full time to ensure Roberto is at his best and can work on things day in and day out. The issue I have with the captaincy is that I don’t feel Roberto has fully committed to it. I like him as our captain but he has to man up and do the job, that means media scrums, taking blame, and sometimes putting your team on your back.
Isn’t going to build the team for next season based on defeating the Blackhawks in the playoffs.
Why not? They are a team that exposes some of the Canucks glaring weaknesses. Let’s at least attempt to address some of them.
Believes the Hawks will win the cup
Go Flyers.
Has mixed feelings about how San Jose lost in 4 games and the Canucks won 2.
Chicago is really good?
He shouldn’t build a team based on defeating this year’s Chicago, because that team won’t be together next year.
Chicago is going to be so different next year because of the cap. With only 14 players signed and being already $800K over the cap, contracts are going to need to be moved. The only players with contracts that are worth moving, and contracts that other teams will take are Versteeg, Sopel, Seabrook, Bolland, Sharp, and Byfuglien. There’s also Kopecky and Brouwer. Then there’s the fact that for every player they move, they need to add another player. They will also need to sign Niemi. They are insanely screwed this offseason.

He was playing consistently well after his injury and before the road trip from hell. Not sure there’s any connection, but he was doing fine before that road trip.

"Hello, ladies, look at your goalie, now back to me, now back at your goalie, now back to me.
Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me.
Look down, back up, where is the puck? It’s in the net. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in the playoffs with the goalie your goalie could smell like.
What’s in your hand, back at me.
I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that cup final thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now a 12-year, 64 million dollar contract.
Anything is possible when your goalie smells like Old Spice and not a lady.

Has plans regarding a full time goalie coach… but wouldn’t talk about it.
MG, you’ve spent almost $100 million on Luongo, so another $10 or $20 million, or frankly however much Ian Clark needs to come here full time, won’t hurt right? I know he owns a goaltending school in Dallas or whatever, but you can pay him as much as he needs right? Even though you “have a plan”, I hope it involves Ian Clark. Luongo doesn’t need a different goaltending coach that has conflicting ideas with Ian Clark when he does come occasionally (please note that Luongo is MUCH better after meeting with Clark on the ice). Please, just pay however much Ian Clark needs to get out of his goaltending school in Dallas. Thanks.
Maybe he won’t talk about these plans because they are currently in some negotiations. It’s not just a question of throwing money at a problem; if Ian Clark has commitments/family concerns/business issues with putting all his time into vancouver, that would be difficult to just buy off. If you do something out of passion (say starting and running your own goalie school), money alone isn’t a motivator to make u put it on the back-burner; at least up to a point. Does that point mix with Canuck Sports and Entertainment business models?

A robot would be better
They will not tell their sons to beat up other players.
But honestly, Roy is my favourite goalie of all time that never played for the Canucks. Its a damn shame how he left MTL, if only they knew what they had with him, I doubt they would have ran him out of town.

I just can’t believe that a 32 year old “elite” goaltender needs a coach, isn’t it a bit late to teach him the position?
Everybody knows

Well I got the pistols so I'll keep the Pesos
Yeah that seems fair
Not much of a sportsman are you? Dude, Tiger Woods has a coach. Phil Ivey has a coach. Roberto Luongo can use a coach. An objective view is helpful at any level.

What a ridiculous comment
You’d think that elite goalies can stop the puck by the time they are 31
First of all he can stop the puck. Better than about 99.99999999999999999999% of the world’s population. And how old you are has nothing to do with needing a coach. 75 year olds who have been running triathlons since they were 23 have coaches. It’s not about teaching him the position. It’s about helping him refine and change his game as the demands on the position change and his body get older.

gotten more grumpy. That will change once the World Cup gets underway I am sure. Probably has to do with boredom. Summer is when my work is slow and there is nothing for me to do but sit here and read shit on the internet. It’s boring and probably making me grumpy. Look out for that week between the end of the SCF and the start of the WC. :)

Let’s put it this way. Luongo isn’t great. So he needs all the help he can get. Happy now?

Without a doubt they had coaches. Brodeur surely still works with a coach, and if he doesn’t, he should. I understand this mentality coming from you, as the tone of most of your comments indicates that u have a massive god complex, but let’s be realistic…highly successful people become that by knowing that they need help and utilizing that help as much and as long as they can.

Would the coaches they may or may not have had at 31 made them champions instead of chokers?
I think not.

Even the best can improve yoata…its apparent you don’t quite understand that, but whatever. A coach doesn’t condense talent from the air, a coach helps bring the best out of a player or team. As I said earlier, even the best get coaching throughout their careers. Phil Ivey, possibly the best poker player alive took 6 months of coaching before the final table of the world series last year. Tiger Woods’ coach is always with him on the tour. Mario Andretti had a driving coach. Trust me, Brodeur, Roy, Hasek, Dryden all had/have coaches. The coaches don’t give talent, they bring talent out and help get the most of what u have. Luongo’s got a huge talent base to build from…what’s he need help with? Well, choking in the playoffs for one. Positioning. Going ‘on tilt’. I’m sure other things. Puck handling.

Maybe so
and I’m sure coaching might help get the most out of anyone, but do you really think Luongo’s game needing fine tuning? I think he either gets lazy and loses focus, or he just buckles under the pressure, and I don’t think a goalie coach is going to cure that, maybe Tony Robbins is the answer…

He stroked him all year
I found it rather refreshing and a good change up that he finally told it like it was, and by then the series was over anyway.
What he should have done was pull him in a couple of the previous games when he was obviously not sharp.
