It Wasn't Luongo, It Was Daniel

If Schneider has three epic breakdowns people will feel uncomfortable too. Lou Was great but let the fans down 3 years in a row. It was our team aswell but Lou just needed to play well in each of the past 3 years and no one would hate him, but he didnt even play well he played like @ss, this year it wasnt hid fault we lost the first 2 games he played well game 1 and well game 2, Schneid has played great.

Stop discrediting Schneider for his performance last night. What did Daniel do in the first period? Schneider kept the team in the game. What about the penalty shot? If that goes in, it's tied.

Schneider played great.

Hmmm, hey all...new guy here. Have read this thread with great interest...

What rings true through it all are two things:

- They are both great goaltenders

- Schnieder clearly is the better goalie this season

Much as a coach will play the line that is on a roll one night, or give the player that is "in the groove" more icetime, your coach has clearly chosen the goalie he felt gave the team "the best chance to win", (he actually said that in a recent interview by the way).

All of this lament about Luongo getting blame, this sentimentality, etc., is kids stuff. You do not put players on the ice for sentimental reasons, especially when a series is on the line...and nobody is placing blame on the one sitting out.

He simply put his best player on the ice. Schnieder was clearly the right decision, there is no blame.

But see now you're now just selling Luongo short. There's absolutely no reason we can't win 4 straight with Luongo.

No matter who starts games 5, 6, and 7, they best be on a short leash. If we go down by 2 goals at the most, whether it's Luongo or Schneider, they gotta get pulled.

So many prejudices out there. Try to stay objective. Yes he's good looking, yes he's Itallian, yes he has thousands of girls and guys who have a crush on him. But, this is nhl hockey,not the olympics, and not the Bachelorette.

I can't wait for Gillis to trade him, mostly because of a Schneider/Lack combo, but also to get you whiney Luongonites to stfu!, then maybe I can enjoy some peace on these boards.Its been like Hawks and Canuck fans being forced into one team. It's not going to work.. This division about Luongo is in big need of a divorce.

Why can't people see?

The first 3 games we lost because we were missing a key component in the team, one of the twins. Even Schneider couldn't get us a win in the third game.

But as soon as Daniel comes back, we win 3-1. Is this a coincidence that as soon as Daniel starts playing again, we win? Of course not.

Why then are people continuing to blame Luongo? I am positive that not even Schneider could've won Games 1 and 2 for us.

Who on earth is blaming Luongo? No one i've seen has blamed Luongo. If someone is blaming him, they shouldn't be listened to because they're quite obviously not in tune with the team.

EDIT: Sadly, after reading some of the moronic posts above mine, i have to say, i have now seen these peabrains blaming Luongo ......... :picard:

The team for whatever reason just plays BETTER in front of Schneider, they're better offensively and defensively, who knows why. That is what makes Schneider the better choice right now, not necessarily because he's better than Luongo. They are both excellent goalies and i don't get why there would be hate for either one, i say keep them both as long as possible

Luongo played well in the first game and average in the second game. Schneider played great in his first game and amazing in his second game.

Luongo is a good goalie, there's no denying it. Stats back it up!

Schneider is playing better right now, there's no denying it. Stats back it up!

I think it is the attitude the players have towards the goalies. Now I don't claim to be in their locker room and know what's going on but from a fan's perspective, it does seem that Cory is more calm in net, makes a lot less 'scramble-ly' plays and that seems to calm the team down.

Why is that? No idea. But that's just how it seems to work.

I agree that Schneider should be playing, but don't you think this is a bit disingenuous?

Did you leave Fleury and Breezy out to make it look more pronounced?
