Ugli Fruit Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'll give you 06/07 but your stretching it if you pull this year into it, unless your talking about Cory's run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Zero proof !!! You must be blind, deaf and dumb and illiterate !! Look at the NHL stats and tell me that Schneider is not miles ahead of Lou ! GAA and Sp are amazing. Watch his technique in goal as apposed to the flopper !! Be a Lou fan if thats your preference, but get real...everything shows that Schneids is better.

Westcoasting Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Schneider put up marginally better numbers than Luongo in a paradise compared to Luongo's predicament. Maybe Schneider is better than Luongo, but as of now, there is zero proof that he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugli Fruit Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I think Canucks management would have a different argument than you...if there is zero proof then why is he on the trade block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Zebra Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I can pretty much guarantee if schneider starts more than 55 games game he'll gave a GAA close to 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 What happens is the organization is banking on putting alot of money on goaltending again and foregoing using that money to improve their forwards and defense. To me, that is mind boggling when you look at the teams that won the cup the past years. How many teams won a cup spending a ton on goalies? Only reason I think gillis would keep both is BC he likes their character and to me shows he's too soft to be in management to make drastic changes to good character players. We prob will have wait for another hodgson case to come along before a "surprise big trade" ever happens. In the mean time it will be picking up players other teams are trying get rid of badly lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugli Fruit Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes because he is no longer the go to guy as a goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoasting Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So you think it is the fan's who are making this choice for him to be traded?? I don't think is has anything to do with fans cheering him or hating on him but i believe the way management used Cory in the season playing him in big games and ending the playoffs with him means they are going forward with him instead of Lou. If the fans were involved in the choices of who plays here why is Raymond still here!! He has to have the worst fan appreciation of all the players.

Westcoasting Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Because the hate on Raymond is not as overt or as deeply covered by the media. Also, there is nobody directly competing against Raymond for a specific job nobody else can take. Why do you think the management chose Schneider over Luongo in these big games? Yeah, sure, Luongo has a history of some meltdowns in certain games. But it's not only that. It's the fact that Schneider, though a good goalie, got the easy end of the stick by playing very short stretches of games (often one or two at a time). No problems about fatigue or the lack of concentration as a result. No pressure, since he's not the starter goalie. Media loves him, since he's so politically correct and is generally likeable. The outside factors I said over and over again is what turned Luongo into a supposed "choke" and Schneider the gift from God. Take the media and bias away and Luongo would not be hated as much (or even close to) and Schneider would not be regarded as the hope of the Franchise.

Gonz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 One thing I know for sure if you read n watch schneiders interviews and compare that to Lu. Lu might have put more pressure on himself the way he interacted with the media. How he used to blame teammates for bad goal or how he didn't come out and talk to media. He was much better last year but I'm just saying that might have caused some more pressure on him by having fans n media picture him in negative way for his comments and actions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugli Fruit Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Well i must say that it is a well thought out theory you have there but until there is evidence that the fans and media are calling the shots i have to believe Mike Gillis and AV are making the decisions on who plays and who gets traded.
