Roberto Luongo - A Panther or a Canuck?

[NJDevils7]

What team do you associate him with more?

Panthers: 11 seasons, 572 GP, 247 W
Canucks: 8 seasons, 448 GP, 367 W

Spent more time with Florida but obviously had more success with Vancouver.

(And I know someone will say Islanders)

I'm a Canucks fan so I'll say Vancouver.

He won over 100 more games as a Canuck, won 5 playoff rounds with the team and made it to game 7 of the cup finals. During his Canuck tenure as well he won an Olympic Gold as a starter in the Canucks home arena.

 

[I am not exposed]

Panthers fan saying Canucks. But probably swaying that way because I live in Vancouver haha

 

[Kuhta]

Panthers

Roberto Luongo played in the NHL? I thought he was just a dude who was awesome on twitter.

 

[Fear]

The highlight of luongos career was cup finals + Olympics, which were all Vancouver

 

[780il]

I'll always remember the 2010 Olympics. Always

Canucks for that reason.

 

[Note Worthy]

I'll always think of him as a Canuck

 

[jetsforever]

Slightly Vancouver, but I'd say both

 

[Machinehead]

Both, honestly.

He's the Mike Mussina of hockey.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Neither, New York Islander.

But seriously, he spent more time with the Panthers but his greatest success was with the Canucks.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Canucks because that’s where he had his peak/prime.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I think both.

Voted Canucks b/c of his success during here & me being biased.

 

[La Bamba]

Easily Canucks

I never hear of him when he's in Florida

 

[nowhereman]

He never really accomplished much in Florida, outside of posting great stats, and very much flew under the radar. Have to go Canucks here, especially since he took them to the Finals and back-to-back President's Trophies.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Definitely the Canucks

 

[AKL]

He’s a Canuck, not even a question

 

[Addison Rae]

I dont want to sound like a egotistical Canucks fan, but can someone make an argument for the Panthers?

 

[tony d]

A Canuck.

I dont want to sound like a egotistical Canucks fan, but can someone make an argument for the Panthers?

He’s arguably the best player we’ve ever had.

It’s just a shame we were an inept franchise for 90% of the time he was here, otherwise it might not be so lopsided towards people remembering him as a Canuck.

Option 3

A f***ing beauty

 

[biturbo19]

Probably biased, but very much think of him as a Canuck first and foremost. Even just trying to distance myself from obvious Canuck-centric bias, when i think about all the real "defining moments" of Luongo's career...they're pretty much all as a Canuck. Probably the biggest one that comes up as anything else, is the whole "Millbury thing", which is kinda as an Islander.

Vancouver.

If he played his entire career in Florida, no one would be talking about him. He would have played on the most average teams and he would be too good for them to draft guys like Barkov/Huberdeau. Which moment do we remember him as a member of the Panthers? I cant even think of one that sticks out.

Luongo on Vancouver broke the internet many times.

 

[Patty Ice]

I voted Panthers but honestly it is both.
