Canucks fans, management, being disrespectful and ungrateful to Roberto Luongo

They used to chant Lou, now they chant boo. Roberto Luongo has been the face of the Vancouver Canucks for six years. He got them to the playoffs for five of those six. He led them to a point where they were a win away, from the franchise's first stanley cup. Since then it all went downhill for them. Younger backup Cory Schneider started to play more games, although Schneider maintaned that Luongo was the starter. Now Luongo has been told he will be traded. After two President's Trophies, and a birth in the Cup Final, this is how it will end for possibly the greatest Canuck goalie of all time? Plain and simple, the fans and management are ungrateful. Many say Luongo was the reason Vancouver lost the finals to the Boston Bruins. But people don't realize that Vancouver wouldn't be in that final without him. Luongo was stellar in the Canucks victories, recording two shutouts in three games. But that is all tosed away. Luongo was asked to give the list of teams. Luongo gave the list of teams. Now, he has to wait. A disrespectful gesture from a disrespectful franchise. Unbelievable.
