Luongo injured

Im calling mama Luongo to see if he actually got concussed on that shot from Streit



What’s that sound heard in Rogers Arena when Canucks trainer Jamie Hendricks took Roberto Luongo’s place in net for practice?

Those were alarm bells.

Not that Luongo is seriously hurt. There’s no indication of that. He even claimed on Monday he was “good to go.”

But file this under reasons the Canucks may not be in a rush to trade their ready-for-primetime backup Cory Schneider.

Luongo missed his second practice today, after suffering an injury when he cut across the crease to stop a Mark Streit shot with his mask against the New York Islanders Sunday.

When he did the splits to stop the rebound, it seems he did something to tweak his groin.

Luongo finished the game, but was injured on the play because immediately after Schneider was seen stretching, preparing to pitch relief if Luongo couldn’t go the distance.

Luongo also missed Monday’s optional practice which doesn’t happen often during the regular season.

It means Schneider will be expected to get the start against the Hawks on Wednesday, while Luongo will have some time to rest. The Canucks play only twice this week, Wednesday and Sunday.

Schneider starts tomorrow

Luongo is officially now suffering from an "upper body injury" ...

[Winged_Wheel88]

Didn't think a man with that much grease could ever get injured.

Let the Streit trade rumors begin!!

 

[IPostedWhat]

Wait, I thought goalies can't get injured because of all the pads they wear?

good for him.
hurt in pre-season, collect the NHL salary all year. $600k in sick bay.


that's the Bolduc-move.
the bad news is, it's a shoulder too. that's also the Bolduc move.

 

[puckhead]

also, since when is groin injury 'upper body'?

Vigneault says he won't reveal Luongo's injury because of what Lucic did to Miller fearing his goalie would be vulnerable to being targeted


you can almost hear AV stifling a giggle.

I thisnk Bolduc's worst move was the night he chose to take on John Scott...

the next event was to be the skating contest challenge

alas Bolducs trick shoulder gave out and he was disqualified



/at least Stevie prosciutto didnt seperate his shoulder on a face off

since it might be a concussion?

Luongo said the Streit shot left an indent in his mask and he also talked about the head shot he took from Rene Bourque in the first game of the road trip

trying to divert???

This could really blow up in the Canucks faces if Schneider winds up shitting the bed. Is it bad I'm kind of rooting for that?

my prediction is Crampy Schneider cant carry the load and Eddie Lack comes in and doesnt lose a game for the rest of the year (reg season and playoffs inclusive)

a) yes, it's bad that you are kind of rooting for that.
b) Schneider has 42 games under his belt, 0.919 sv%, 2.50 GAA (after a fairly rough start). It's not like he's an unknown prospect anymore.

as long as the canucks training staff keeps the midol, ginger ale and cranberry juice close at hand we should be ok with Crampy Schneider in net
