So this morning a close friend of mine spots Roberto Luongo at my gym (Luongo trains in my hood during the off-season when he visits his folks). Anyway my friiend did some small talk with Luongo, and he was still in shock over the trade.
Yeah, it's called a reality check. Don't get me wrong, he's a world class goalie, but after stalling for two years now over a contract extension that he wasn't ever going to sign anyway, and prolonging the inevitable of wanting to opt for free agency, his agent, Gilles Lupien, sure did a number on him.
Luongo is still in dis-belief. His wife, who comes from Miami, is not happy at all. Oh seriously. What did he expect Keenan to do? I am surprised Keenan showed so much patience with this guy.
Also, Luongo is now entering his 7th season. I think it's about time he wins a Vezina and better yet, makes it to the playoffs for the first time.
Its seems a continuing trend now about wives not being happy.....seriously, they should keep their mouths shut, its not only them that are effected from the trade ya know.
Anyways, I don't see how he can be in shock, he knew a trade was coming, I guess maybe he's shocked at where he was going???? At any rate, he knew what was happening or else I would never have known before hand....
