You okay? Was I a meany pants to your Canucks?

You know who else is on everyone's radar? Luongo. So much radar, not enough trades to keep up.

Sorry, I forgot your infatuation was with Luongo. Keep wishing and he might end up with the Leafs.

Great sports column Ek....please, can tomorrows blog be about the Superbowl? I'm really curious to hear your take on what is going to go down on Sunday. Also, if in your spare time you get a chance to mix in a hockey rumour or 2, that would be great, thanks!

Luongo was kickin' in LA the other night. People are crazy if they don't think he's at LEAST top 10 still, and can be for 5 more years.

Luongo will probably throw for 4 touchdowns. Polk High style.

Hes a very good goalie. His contract and age are the issue. Not his talent.

His cap hit is manageable, and we've seen many great goalies play well during the late stages of their careers. Lu's gettin' a raw deal. I hope he gets traded to the Leafs and they win the cup.

Its not the cap hit.

Its the fact hes almost 34 and has 9 or 10 years left on his deal.

He also has a lot of mileage on him, unlike most of the goalies who play well late in their careers.

Then throw on top of that the youth needed to make the trade. Its not the direction the Leafs should be going. You as a Flames fan should understand this.

No thanks. We already have a whole team of overpaid 40 point scorers. We need a number #1 center. And some defensive defensemen.

It looks like the Leafs are targeting Kipper as the short term fix to their goal tending issues. We all know Calgary won't need him this year..........neither will the Leafs, but at least the Luongo to Toronto (no way in hell) rumours can die.

If Lu could be obtained with Bozak, Komi and a 2nd, he would have been doing his greasy dance moves in Toronto all last summer.
