Kesler_smash Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 In my opinion Luongo would have probably allowed 3 in the game tonight with the chances the Kings had...I know its speculation thats why I say its my opinion...Hell Luongo allowed 4 in game 2 and the Kings had less quality chances in that game than they did tonight. Its not that Luongo is bad or I hate Luongo but Schneider is really showing how much better he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Schneider is the better goalie. He hardly ever has an off game whereas Luongo has at least one mental collapse in the playoffs every year. Schneider's cap hit is 1/6th of Luongo's. Schneider has youth going for him while Luongo is clearly declining and nowhere near his 06/07 form. Schneiders GAA, sv% and winning % are all vastly better than Luongo's. Those stats have now continued into the playoffs and with the season on the line, Schneider has finally, deservedly, taken over the #1 job.

Kesler_smash Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm pretty sure the media people calling Luongo the MVP of the Canucks are just Toronto fans who really want Schneider. Unfortunate for them Toronto has pretty much nothing to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Everyone expects us to win with Lu but the fact is we need goals to win. No goals, no wins regardless on what Lu stands to make the saves. Also let's not forget where the team would have been without Lu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's Smirk Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Ughh.. Schneider is a great athlete, and a great goalie. However this 'hate' for Luongo is absolutely unwarranted. So, let's begin with tonights game. 1. Beaten, shot deflects off the post. 2. Bailed out by Salo, puck left loose in the blue paint. Schneider had lost track of the puck. 3. Bailed out a second time, puck comes off the post while Schneider 4. Rebounds deflected out in to the slot, in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 AV went with the numbers tonight and schneider stopped 43 of 44...I guess numbers work !! or better put 2 goals in 64 shots over 2 games...not bad I'd say...and certainly slotted in for game 5 !!

UFCanuck Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I remember the year he cut his hair. I remember thinking... "Who does this guy think he is". "Don't cut your hair, stop the Puck" From then on I hated him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm085 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 errrrr, i'm not talking about "scoring goals." I'm talking about his performance when facing elimation. 3 nights ago, we scored 0 goals, but we allowed 1, everyone knew Schneider played great. We lost 4-0 in game 7, was Luongo great? Theres my point. That being said, he was great against Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesler_smash Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The only thing, "goofy", would be to consider you as an acknowledgeable source. Please, do continue on with your wild speculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesley Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If I say Schneider is a bit better than LUU right now, does it make me a LUU hater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey!? Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Whatever man, you Luongo homers can keep insisting he is better and Cory will just keep proving you wrong and your boy Luongo will just keep proving the Schneider homers right. acknowledgeable....bwhahahaha...source?? last time I checked these are peoples opinions not statements that need a source?

Kesler_smash Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Homers? I don't recall ever placing one athlete above the other. Simply defending an athlete does not make one a homer. Your entire speculation is based on numbers. Now, if you'd been following the series at all, you'd realize that the Canucks started this series off poorly . The first two games could have resulted in much higher scores, had Luongo not stepped up his own performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey!? Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I like how you criticize me for speculating then follow that up with some rampant speculation of your own "The first two games could have resulted in much higher scores, had Luongo not stepped up his own performance." Way to go man, way to go. Its just as valid to say that the first two games could have resulted in much lower scores if the Canucks had started Schneider instead of Luongo. Why bother using logic though, people don't listen to logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
