The Creature Blue Lagoon Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Why would you start Schneider over the only reason we haven't been blown out of the water. Lu is playing out of his mind. YOU START SCHNEIDER, THIS SERIES IS OVER. Right now we are in position to take two in their barn, but only with Lu. You can't run from from the issues at hand by using a red herring like goal tending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkoshack Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The team is playing like crap in front of Luongo's crease. Put Schneider in game 3, the team will probably play better in front of him as they usually do for some reason and the Canucks will win. Then all the Schneider lovers will say it was because of him.

SedinX2 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 luongo wasn't the problem in first two games, but he definitely wasn't the solution. He makes some big saves, which every NHL goalie has to do, he still gives up te one or two weak goals, which is unacceptable. I don't see why fans think he played great by giving up 7 goals over two games, under 900 save percentage, give up 1 weak goal a game, and still rave about his play. The question you have to ask is whether he is the BETTER solution to give you win. Between him and Schneider, who gives you a better chance to win. Who is more likely to let in only 1 or 2 goals, who is more likely to pitch a shut out, to be that brick wall or who is more likely to give up less than 7 goals over next 2 games. Think about it that way and I think your .940 save percetange goalie who has been cool and consistent all year, is your guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SedinX2 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 There is no way the 'Nucks start Schneider in game 3. As much as he is the better goalie it sends the wrong message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanCityScout Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Op Lou is tired!! what could he possibly be tired from..he's paid to dominate the last half of the season!! I'm sure his golf clubs rest beside his hockey bag in the dressing room just sayin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afan Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 It's a shame that this sorry franchise always chooses to go down with its starting goalie. They did it twice with the Cloutier sieve and they repeat the same mistakes with Luongo again and again even though they have a more than capable backup goalie sitting on the bench. Luongo is one of the main reasons why the Ds are running around in chaos when he always redirects all pucks, even those from dump ins, to the corners and sideboards and has his Ds take hits after hits by the big Kings. Luongo should be playing goalie and not table tennis in the Canucks goal. Fools only look at the spectacular saves Luongo makes, which he always does, that have earned him a big contract. But the fact is that Luongo is a goalie who makes easy saves looks spectacular but who cannot make crucial saves at crucial times. A 3.59 GAA and a .891 save percentage by Luongo will win you no games vs Quick who basically has shut the door. If AV and MG has guts and courage, they MUST start Schneider who gives up almost haly a goal less than Luongo per game and who has a better save percentage than Quick the next game in LA. GET ONE BACK BY SCHNEIDER IN LA AND THE CANUCKS ARE BACK IN THE SERIES. SCHNEIDER SIMPLY CANNOT BE WORSE THAN LUONGO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

believe in blue forever Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Its like what A.V. did in the Chicago series put Schneider in for a game just to change things but give Lu the next game whether Cory loses or wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Naslund Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Maybe he playing out of his mind,,but last night was average goaltending at best,,2 goals were garbage,,if 4 goals on 26 shots is the best he can do we better start Schneider, If 3.59GAA and .891 save% against the 2nd lowest scoring team int he league is playing out of his mind we need to play someone with a better mind,lol The kings were shut out 10 freaken times this year, so scoring even 2 should at least get you to overtime on most nights.

cc_devil Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Sneids in Lu out. Sneids is hungry and isn't this why the kept him at the deadline?????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We had Lou #1 playing the first game, and played well, but and a BIG BUT.. unfortunately..Lou #2 showed up in game 2 and let in a couple of stinkers...Hes got to elevate his game...average is not good enough ! What you did in the past doesn;t matter..its the here and now that counts ! Lou is not dominating ! It will be squarely on Schneiders shoulders to shut the door in LA and give this team a chance to win. The way we are playing we need exceptional goaltending...and that hasn't happened yet...time to steal a game . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Aerosex Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I just want to clear this up. I support starting Schneider (awesome alliteration), simply because our defence needs to be sent a message, and I have full confidence Schneids can still keep up the great play Luongo had going. Not because I blame Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think we should change it up and start Cory in game 3 but do you want to come back with Lou if we win? If we change and it works you don't go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sia Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I posted this in the other thread but since that might get buried, I'll post it here too... When asked who's gonna start Sunday, AV refused to say who's starting because according to him, he wants to notify his goalies first... and that means that Cory is definitely starting, because if it was Lu, there would be no need for him to notify anyone since Luongo has always been the starting goalie unless notified otherwise... I think it's gonna be a mistake starting Cory... Luongo's been playing well and he's bound to steal a game or two and LA isn't exactly one of the places he has trouble with (like Chicago or Minnesota)... I think he can definitely steal 1 of the 2 games there and if the team makes a half decent effort for the other one, there's a fairly good chance that we could come back here tied 2-2 for game 5... This is gonna be a very risky move; to start Cory just to spark up the team, especially considering the fact that Luongo's actually playing well... I donnu, i just don't have a good feeling about this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If Daniel can play, Luongo should stay in as he's played well and Daniel returning will be a bigger spark itself. If he can't, I see AV throwing Schneider in there to get the team going. TBH though, I don't think it will matter who's in net on Sunday, this team and its core won't need a good goalie replacing another good one to get itself going.
