jimsandlak83 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I hope these 3 games prove that Schneider is the real deal. He played as good as the vezina candidate on the other side. Difference was, he didn't get any goal support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Going to be tricky going forward. I'd hate to be the one having to make the decision between Luongo and Schneider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzY Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 dont know why people are turning this into a lou vs schneids. I support luongo but it is very clear that schneider is the better goalie. He battles so hard and is a much more hungry goaltender than luongo. The whole team needed to work like schneider, if they did they would have won more battles a long the boards. Who knows what will happen going forward but Deb said it best.. we'd be nuts to let schneids go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 i'll give the entire team a pass for this years playoff... considering they had the shortest off season of any team and the most travelled mileage out of any team.. not to mention the fact that we didn't have Daniel essentially the entire series and he's probably not operating at 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uber_pwnzor Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Everyone says a trade involving Schneider and Stamkos is stupid and retarded for even thinking about it but i think it is a VERY reasonable offer. Only need to add a few draft picks or role players to the deal and it can be a really benefitial deal for both teams. Schneider would be a starter for Tampa and Tampa really needs a goalie they can rely on instead of blindly having to pick one of the ones they got to stand infront of the net. Tampa also has St.Louis who is a play maker that can make other people produce on the team. Stamkos would LOVE to play for Vancouver because why would the highest scoring player want to play on a team that can't make the playoffs? Even though he is a center, we can convert him like we have been doing to all the other centers. Sedin-Sedin-Stamkos would be lights out with potential of Daniel and Stamkos both reaching 50 goals. This would allow for kes and burr to play fulltime together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 He was perfect this game imo. First goal was not his fault for two reasons; Doughty was allowed to skate ALL the way down into the Canucks zone untouched and make a centering pass to Richardson who was surrounded by FOUR Canucks players. They all failed to eliminate Richardson's stick or play the body. Easy goal for him. That's unacceptable at the NHL level. I would have grilled the guys for that debacle. The second goal; Hammer tries to imitate Bobby Orr, blows a tire and craps all over the team in the process. It's the NHL; they're world class players. Give them a 2 on 1 and chances are they will beat you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Canucks problems: 1) Shooting top shelf 2) Staying on skates 3) Secondary scoring. 4) Rushing defenseman. 5) 2nd PP unit. 6) Too much money for 3rd and 4th liners and not enough on second line 7) Consistent winger for Sedins as Burrows disappears in playoffs at times.

Wilbur Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Not a bad situation for Gillis to be in. Either goalie is going to provide excellent goaltending. Personally, I think I'd prefer Schneider if only for the reason is that he's the younger goalie. He is a lower maintenance goalie too, which isn't a slight against Luongo even though it sounds like it. I think a lot of the "maintenance" around Luongo is the media overblowing everything he says/does. Nevertheless, it is what it is and I'd prefer not to have that drama. That being said, Schneider is way easier to trade. And if that did happen, I'd be perfectly alright with #1 between the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmpunk Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Last year, Lu supporters were saying that Schneider's numbers were so good because the Canucks were protecting him from the top teams. This year, he was given many of the top games over Luongo and he played fantastic in them and he improved upon his stats from last year. Then the Lu supporters started saying he doesn't have the playoff experience so he can't possibly be a better option than Luongo. So the playoffs start, Lu plays good but not great, Schneider comes in and plays fantastic again. His stats again are vastly better than Luongo's. Both goalies faced the same types of defensive breakdowns, but only one kept his team within striking distance. Now the Lu supporters have changed tactics again and they're saying that Schneider only managed to keep his numbers so good because he didn't face the pressure of being #1, the type of pressure that has been Luongo's undoing time and time again. My guess? Schneider will prove them wrong again next year, in Canucks blue and green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megakaryocyte Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The reason why I like Schneider better than Luongo is his attitude. When he gets scored on, he gets back up and refuses to look defeated. This sort of charisma rubs off on the rest of the team and boosts everyone's confidence that they can still stay in the game. It also shows during interviews. He answers questions without being defensive, admits when he could have done better, and always seems to put the team first. All of these qualities make him just a more likable person. Even if Luongo played well this season, I choose Schneider simply because he has better qualities that make the team more effective.

bluesman60 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Schneider is the one positive out of this season. He is the real deal....I hope that MG doesn't make the same mistake twice and trade away his best young players. The ist line should be hanging their heads after standing about fishing for the puck instead of taking Richards out of the play. The whole first line was standing about in front of Schneider and expecting someone else to play defense. At least the Sedins made a lame duck effort to fish for the puck whereas Booth just stood there and watched Richards go to the net. The core of this team needs a shake up. Go Ottawa Go!

NightHawkSniper Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 This team needs scoring, although the issue does not reside with Luongo I'd rather trade him to use some cap space in getting better forwards/defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
