John Garret's moustache Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 They owe it to him I think, he's done so much for this club and has been the best goaltender we've had in the history of this franchise. They tried to Schneider experiment and failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Maybe no one is blamining Lou for the first 2 losses in this series but the possibility exists that we could have won if Schneider had played !! Food for thought !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get real canuck fans Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I like how some people are stil trying to say Luongo is the problem lol, you truly are idiots. Bryzgalov's GAA for the playoffs is right around 4 goals a game and his team is up 3-0, his GAA and save % are both worse than Luongo's. Luongo isn't the reason we lost the first 2 games, this team has scored 4 goals in 3 games. This is exactly why we lost in the finals, cause we couldn't score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm085 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Scoring 2 goals would have won us the game last night, and scoring 2 against L.A will get you at least to overtime almost every game against them if your goaltender plays well because they have a brutal offence. Love the arguments standing up for Lou,lol Do you watch hockey at all? Bryz has been very bad, but Fleury has been about as that Hoznik guy we drafted this past summer. Bryz would be down 3-0 to everyone except Fleury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Aerosex Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Either one has my support. I can blame neither of them when they've been the best Canucks all season and have continued that through this series despite a team faltering in front of them. If I had to pick...Schneider. Nothing against Luongo, who is one of my favourite all-time goaltenders, but I think it's best for our long-term interests to go with Schneider. And he needs to have the chances on the big stage to make his case. It's always good to have more youth in our core and I think it's time to put our faith in Schneider. Also just pointing out people, Luongo didn't let in 4 goals in both games. The first game LA scored an empty-netter. And as much as Luongo haters like to bash him, he faced much better scoring chances than Schneider did in his game...Schneids only had to make one big save and faced just 20 shots. Reiterating, I would prefer to see Schneider start. But Luongo will. And I have his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshified Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Dont think AV should start Schneider in a elimination game. Luongo has, hes been there many times before. If we lose, at least they know they went with the number 1 goalie. And to all the people who are saying we lost because of Luongo or goaltending... Shame on you We lost because of lack of offense. Happened in the SCF and is happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It has to be Schneider. How can it possibly not be Schneider? He was the better goalie by miles in the regular season, he had the better GAA, better sv%, higher winning %, the team plays better in front of him and he has now outplayed Luongo in the playoffs by the same margins as he did in the regular season. Luongo doesn't have anything going for him anymore. If Lu is a Canuck next year, its because Gillis couldn't find a way to unload his contract and was forced to lose Schneider instead.

shazzam Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Based on experience, you obviously go with Luongo. Based on performance in this series, you have to give the edge to Schneider. Small sample size though. Not an easy decision for AV. Lets hope whomever he picks stands on his head. Both goalies are capable of doing that.

Thirteen Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Luongo plays great but given Schneider killed the offense of the Kings roll with the kid again. No questions! I love Luongo but if this team wants to keep going they play Cory. Kings are more conifdent they'll score with Luo and being Cory is not know he is a mystery we should keep in. Until he is exposed.

dKs89 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Throwing the word "noob" around really solidifies how special you really are, Ed. In case you didn't hear me the first time, Schneider is better than Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ṣpiderman Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'll re-iterate Incase you didn't hear. Luongo is better than Schneider. Luongo - more starts, tougher opponents. Schneider - less starts, bad teams - bad teams looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tm085 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 you still can't 100% make a final verdict on Schneider until he has played a full 60+ game season as a starter. Holtby has a better GAA and Save % than Rinne so far in the playoffs cause it's only been 3 games, does this mean he's a better goaltender than Rinne? no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
