How does it work for you? Do you have to make 3 comments to lose the humble team guy tag? I'm not saying Luongo hasn't done the same thing, but it's a little out there to paint Brodeur with this good guy brush while tarring Luongo considering the circumstances.

Try to keep up.
Kesler17's argument (though he didn't realize it) was that
Brodeur's comment makes
Luongo a better person. Thus.... "how could it"?
Brodeur's comments may not have been perfect. But one comment can be misconstrued, misinterpreted, taken out of context, etc. I prefer to look at someone's overall track record. Going strictly on reputation, I give Brodeur a bit more leeway. Nevertheless, I didn't love his comments--though they were also, inarguably, true.
I will add that I think it's a bit unfair to "tar" Luongo. But he has to some extent brought that shorter leash upon himself, for reasons pretty well covered in an earlier post by Textcritic.
With that said, I do think it's time to give Luongo a chance to carry the mail in this tournament. I don't think anyone seriously disputes that.
