Roberto Luongo is willing to stay with the Vancouver Canucks under a certain stipulation, at least according to a tweet he sent from his popular, mysterious and often hilarious Twitter account Friday evening.

John Tortorella arrived at Vancouver International Airport Friday amidst reports he is close to being named the Canucks new coach.

And apparently the thought of being witness to patented Tortorella rants has the Canucks netminder — who has been at the centre of trade talks for going on two seasons – excited.

While Luongo has been one of the most-talked about players in Canada the past several seasons, Tortorella has certainly been the most quote worthy coach in the NHL.

Watch the Connected Countdown below to see why Luongo is showing interest in all the Tortorella to Vancouver reports.
