Mike Gillis doing what he does best

   It`s not the first time or the last time…. But is Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis is again lying through his teeth.
   ``At the end of the day we had to make a choice and we made the choice to go to Roberto,`` Gillis claims. What he forgot to mention is that after a one year search high and low, nobody and we mean nobody would go near Luongo, even if the Canucks had to pay them to.
   Take last year at the trade deadline, 30 minutes before the deadline, Gillis called the Toronto Maple Leafs offered up Luongo for goalie Ben Schrivens, a mid and late round draft pick. That proposal was quickly shut down. Not even 15 minutes later the offer to the Leafs was Schrivens and two late round picks, again shut down.
   Gillis and his pathological lying will eventually make Luongo say FU to him and the Canucks… Why not be truthful and say you had no choice, instead he did the opposite. Don`t believe me, read the below compelling blog for the timelines of Gillis`s ways.
