Roberto Luongo is preparing to contest the fourth and final year of his contract with the Vancouver Canucks. Talks to extend this agreement habe been underway for several weeks and the 30 year old goalie wants to come to an agreement before the start of training camp.
"I think it's important not to have this distraction there during the season, Luongo revealed prior to the start of the first edition of the golf tournament that bears his name. Especially with the Canadian media, it can not never end! That's why we will try to resolve it before the start of camp, so there is no problem during the season."
"The biggest issue between Roberto and Vancouver was' is he wants to stay here?''And the answer was given.
Roberto wants to end his career there, said his agent, Gilles Lupien. Now it's a question of length of contract."
The last game Luongo goes back to May 11. That evening, he gave up seven goals and had seen the Chicago Blackhawks eliminated the Canucks in six games. Luongo does not hide it: he has struggled to digest these events.
"It was not easy, especially the first months of summer. Even today I still believe, but it's not something that will affect the rest of my career. It is a single match, these things happen. I remember with the Colorado Avalanche, Patrick Roy has already lost one final game 7-0 against the Red Wings.
Unless a surprise or injury, Luongo will be part of the Canadian team attending the Olympics in Vancouver in February.The question now is whether he can overtake Martin Brodeur and be the number one goalkeeper of the team.
"Whatever the decision of the leaders, I will accept promises Luongo. It's the Olympics, we play for our country. Whatever role they give me, I will accept it."
