stuffradio Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 and lets hope AV has also banned drop passes. Lu clearly wasn't the problem but Go Schneids!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagin Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 you can't sit them out in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagin Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 They NEED to play, and they NEED to play well. The goaltending change will wake them up without severely hamstringing our roster as you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock-E-Dad Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Lou hasn't been the problem so far, but he hasn't been the answer either. .891 is just not going to get it done, and every team that makes a deep run in the playoffs will have an off game and rely on their goaltender to bail them out. I think Schneider is going to do just that for us tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfan1968 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 well haven't you notice that the team seems to score more when schneider is in net IMO I have notice this all year, and goals are what we need so again why not mix it up take LA off their game. Its clearly not loungo's fault but maybe by switching it will make the team see how they let him down in the two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevernucks19 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Firing 40 shots from the perimeter will do that for you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I cringe every time I see them use the drop pass. I go, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT!?". They should dump and chase. Puck going closer to our end of the ice = bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffradio Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Disagree using this method - the Kings are on to it. It's the reason our PP has sucked in this series. In the last game, just about every time we dumped it in - the Kings got it out and we wound up with no shot. When we carried it in (the few times) , at least we got a shot.

Riggs Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Schnieder also plays very well on the road he is composed and they need to shake things up. The team also seems to protect much better in front of the young goalie, his control of rebounds and puck handling skills are above that of loungo's.

Canuckfan1968 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 well at least schneider doesnt lay on his belly doing the breast stoke on ice if anything that is the most embarrassing goaltending I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTW Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Luongo has a 0.891 save % in playoffs, good for 16/17 out of all goaltenders. How has he been great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Luongo is in a no win situation. If the Canucks win tonight - everyone will say it's because Schneider played. If the Canucks lose, everyone will say we would have lost with Luongo in the net as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank's Secret Sauce Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Im just saying this is Schneiders first start this playoff and I see posts saying basically "we will lose this is a horrible decision etc" I can't say that before game 1 of the series I saw anyone posting the same about Luongo, and if there were then yes they are blind Schneider homers and just as stupid....however I didn't see a single post like that before game 1 or 2.

Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Its a good move. All we need from Schneids is to play the exact same way he's been playing for the past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Stats are a measurement of performance....Schneider is not perfect( ie stick handling) but his stats are FAR superior to Lous. the team plays better in front of Schneids because he makes it easier...directing shots to corners, finding and covering loose pucks and staying cool. Predictability makes things easier !! The quiet confidence rubs off on the team...while Lou looks like a deer in headlights ! Lou gave up 3 weak goals at critical times and we lost our chance to win. Had he stopped that weak one in game one things might have been different...a weak attempt on breakaway in game 2 and the the last two stinkers sunk us in game 2. Its hard to believe that Lou fans don;t see it for what it is !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead420 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 If you've watched the games, you'd see that Quick has been vastly superior to Luongo. His 0.946 save% speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfan1968 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 So we are losing the series because of this reason....right!!! our offence has be great henrik and kesler have shown up.Higgins has been red hot.Do you fans watch the games or just like to say stupid things because our media in Vancouver has bunch of idiots working in it.

Mclean1 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 you claim how cory gets caught out of net. News flash it happens to every goalie not just cory. when you have been watching this team since 1982 and have seen the ups and downs come talk to me when you have real hockey knowledge.
