Roberto Luongo Article In Sports Illustrated

PrintI received an email from a Sports Illustrated rep pointing me out to a story on Roberto Luongo that is in the new Sports Illustrated (on stands now, or online here). Writer Brian Cazeneuve properly portrays Luongo as a human and a professional in a starving and many times unfair sports-mad Canucks market in a piece called The Good, The Bad And Roberto Luongo. Here is an excerpt:
It's easy to take Luongo for granted. In amassing a league-high 117 points, Vancouver won the first Presidents’ Trophy in franchise history and led the league in both goals (262) and goals-against (185). Given the Canucks’ powerhouse roster—which includes forward Henrik Sedin, last season’s winner of the Hart Trophy as league MVP; his twin brother and linemate, Daniel, a finalist for this year’s award; emerging star Ryan Kesler; and a steady defense that runs six deep—Luongo’s successes are often overlooked. "What the hell else does he have to do?" asks Canucks winger Alex Burrows. "I know: Win a Stanley Cup. When we win, people think the puck stops itself. No, it’s Roberto. I think he’s the best goalie in the world."
Finally, a balanced and fair look at Roberto Luongo's play over his tenure as a Canuck, especially the last few seasons. There are some facts about Lou in there that I was unaware of in regards to some events in the Chicago series, Lou's puck-handling skills and more. I believe this is the best Luongo piece I have ever read. And no, they are not paying me to say that, that I can promise you. Well done, Mr. Cazeneuve. And praise be to Lou!

Excellent Zen.
You and Semi should get together on the next one! Burnside displeasure runs strong here. He be funny. Only Barnaby picked the Sharks? Wow.
When can the rest of us get our hands on this article Sean? I might even buy the mag just because of your high praise.
Want to read it NOW! Oh, and Mr Cazenueve is one of the good ones.

I liked the Mako, and the concept of planet exploration. It just wasn’t executed that well. Coulda been great. I was a little saddened to see the exploration removed from ME2.

"Because you are the most arrogant poster I have ever encountered. And I knew yoata pretty well. I hate arrogance."
Not if you bought the Overlord DLC for ME2.
That was actually very well executed.
Good exploration, great scenery, enough stuff happening to keep you interested, and a good storyline to go along with it.
Well, it was removed from ME2, is what I meant. Not necessarily the DLC.
I don’t do DLC unless it’s an amazing value generally. Don’t like the point systems for buying it, don’t like the value comparison to a lot of full games, don’t really like to re-tread games I’ve played. Not sure why. I’d just rather play something completely different than an add-on pack.

"Because you are the most arrogant poster I have ever encountered. And I knew yoata pretty well. I hate arrogance."
Ah. I see.
Sorry, I’m a Bioware whore…..
They could make a game titled “We Spit on You and Take your Money Loser!”, and I’d probably be one of the first to pre-order the collectors edition with all the DLC………..
huge bioware fan
Would love to work for them, About the only thing that could pull me from Vancouver…
but eff Edmonton. Eff that.
Overlord is ok
but Lair of the Shadow Broker and Arrival are both pretty dope
<3 Boobies!
#WinitForManny
Agree with Lair, not so much Arrival. Still good I mean. But nothing different (except being Solo mission)
I'm the opposite.
Overlord was the best I thought. The lead up to the end was epic.
"This could be the year,this could be the moment
You've been waiting your whole life, to show the world the cards you're holding, It's One life, One dream, One spark, It's one chance, One move, One shot
It's on you, be cool....Believe"
This
Overall though, I just love ME2. It might be beginning to dethrone BG2 as my all time favourite Bioware game.
DA:O couldn’t, and I really liked that game. DA2….. soooo buggy…… can’t stand it.
I almost
Can’t play any other game now. I’ve been too spoiled by the likes of ME/2 and RDR. Think I will pick up LA Noire though

It was pretty good
But I loved Lair the most. The bosses were actually unique

Just keep on your radar. ME3 will address the need for planetary exploration (Overlord style), reduce, maybe even remove planetary scanning (I hated that with a passion), and blow the series away with everything else.
Overlord was made to see peoples reception to the Mako replacement. I’ll say that I’m excited.
ME3 is more on my radar than anything you’ve ever KNOWN, bro. SRSLY.
Actually, Battlefield 3 is probably higher on there. Just cause I’ve been playing Bad Company 2 for so long.

Great article
Something off topic I noticed in the article:
“In the off-season Gillis picked up stay-at-home defenseman Dan Hamhuis to solidify the Canucks’ blue line.”
I recall a time not long ago when there was another name along with Hamhuis in articles regarding strengthening our blue line…
Who?
There totally wasn’t anyone else at all

That’s a good read. I hope the local media guys don’t drive him out of town too.
And the tipped shots was also a good pick-up. We’ll have to keep their forwards away from the net, and make sure their sticks are tied up to prevent tips from beating Lu, like that Marleau goal.

Marleau was so unmolested on that one. That was such bad coverage, hey?

ANY goalie...
will struggle with well-place tipped shots. Those must be some of the hardest ones to save, especially when performed by top-caliber forwards in the playoffs. Just look at Keslord’s mastery in this department. I bet if Kesler was playing against Luongo now, he’d score a few tips on him over the course of a series as well.

Oh don't worry. I still hate Luongo.
That bastard had to be put in net instead of Broduer. If Babcock had been a good little boy and kept Broduer in, there is no question in my mind the America would have won gold. But no, Babcock had to have a visit from Captain Obvious and put Luongo in. Next thing I know he goes save for save with Miller, Crosby pops it in, and my gold medal dreams are left crushed on the floor alongside Darryl Sutter.
Fuck Luongo, fuck him and his amazingness!
I hope Pavelski gets revenge.

Great read
I can be pretty harsh on lou sometimes. most of the time i try to defend him, but when he lets in a softy it brings back terrible memories of powerhouse teams with Cloutier on them. I know, quite the reach. Good to get a little perspective on him from an outside source.
Also agree with the poster that said they hope the local media don’t drive him out of town. The province/sun guys, Botch excluded, are pretty merciless on him aren’t they?
