He's always been mentioned as one of those Isles 1st round draft disappointments along with Josh Bailey. Looks like he is getting his Dung together(as is Bailey).

He always had it together, just needed other players around him to figure it out too.

Man, who do they start in Game 4 now? I would go with Luongo but I bet they go back with Schneider.

Canucks are done. Break out the brooms. Prepare for riots.

Leafs first home playoff game in 9 years tonight... will no doubt be a zoo in Toronto today.

they showed luongo's face during the game, he want's out. too bad for Van but they might end up dealing their better goalie in Luongo. Diddle them anyways cocky bunch of Dung. can't wait to see the Dung hit the fan. now who gets fired first? Gillis or AV?

I'd say AV is done but Gillis should be gone as well. He messed up big time the last few years.

The whole Luongo/Schneider situation is the piece de resistance.

Canucks should've dealt Schneider a long time ago, or Bobby Lu a couple seasons ago. They backed themselves into a corner with no escape. They will have to give Luongo away for next to nothing, when at one time they could've got a top 3 forward for him.

I guess the best way to put it is it's all a big "gongshow"!

Only way to get out of their mess is to trade Schneider or buyout Luongo.

fixed. that ship has sailed. Luongo cannot stay in Van. management has played their cards so bad that there is no way he wants to be part of that team anymore.

yeah there is no way Luongo can stay, he made it perfectly clear he wants out.

And the Canucks are stupid if they don't think this whole situation is a huge distraction for the team.

Canucks are screwed. Buyout or take a hair cut in a trade.

Curious to see how the Leafs do tonight. Carlyle will have last change so he'll have an easier time matching lines and keeping Kessel away from Chara. Bruins will need to step it up. Lotta nerves in Leafs playing at home methinks.

Wow Bates Battaglia won the Amazing Race with his brother!

unless a miracle happens here someone is shown the door once this series gets done. I think they'll clear both Gillis and vigneault. this has the stench of mismanagement all over it. that calls for a change in management. no way does new management keeps the old coach.

Twas awesome!

very nice to see the leafs doing so poorly at home. would be amazing if they also didn't win the next game, not a single playoff game won in Toronto. the curse continues!

Wow... insulting, offensive and pathetic... Leafs fan, no surprise...
