Luongo gets star on Italian walk of Fame in TO

[dash]

Tim Thomas has weighed in...

Lol. Someone told me at my softball game the other night that I look like Tim Thomas.

I wasn't offended by the comparison, I was offended b/c he's a Bruin!

SportsHoopla influences media! Good catch, Jstew. Rep.

Since they probably won't post it (or any of our comments), my comment was:

This bio is awful. Luongo has never won the Hart, Vezina, or Pearson and I'm fairly certain nobody has ever called him the "greatest goalie who ever lived." At least not anyone that wasn't high on crystal meth.

they probaby didnt get past the name I used

"jstewemiofigliobastardo"

my comment was tame

I just asked who I needed to talk to to formally nominate Jason Muzzatti for the walk of fame since he is often referred to as the second greatest goalie who ever lived

My comment was... "Who writes this garbage? Luongo has never won a Vezina, Hart or Pearson. Check your facts or continue to look foolish." Mine won't appear either. lol

Mine won't appear either, because I'm referred to him as Ro8erto 7uongo...

Johnny Bertucci co-founder of Italian Walk of Fame joins us on @TEAM1040 this afternoon. Gotta get to bottom of Luongo bio!

over under for number of times the phrase "ma whaddayou tink" gets uttered during this interview

 

[mattola]

i commented he never won any of those awards as well very basic

Had to rep Eloco's comment.

Obviously none of us thinks that Luongo sucks or anything, we just don't rank him at the top.

He's a great goalie, no doubt, and I enjoy watching him.

It's just that phrasing - "greatest who ever lived." It's beyond embellishment, and doesn't even fit alongside the first line. Best ever but only ONE of the best today? That makes sense.

Maybe they meant "best goaltender with the most hair grease?"

Johnny laughed said hes been getting grief all day from all over north america (stopped short of saying someone accused him of being a meth-head )

ended the interview by saying he still considers him "ONE of the best ever"

Touche

Clearly "coming down" at the end of the interview.

Yep, because he was probably researching as he wrote.
