smurf47 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I remember a couple of years ago when camp was in Penticton. Of particular interest to me was how different Luongo and Schneider looked when doing basic drills. In particular, that move where the inside knee goes down and the other stays tall up against the post to cover up short side shots from the corner. It's funny. When I read your OP this is the first image that popped into my head. Schneider looked totally solid. Almost robotic, when doing that drill. (Rollie would take shots from the corner or come around the net, skate out, then shoot from an angle) I know some people are going to see this as me hating on Luongo, but I'm just reporting what I saw. Luongo doing the same drill looked loose and jangly... almost like he was struggling because his pads weren't strapped tight enough. It was like he was moving too much unnecessarily. Take that for what it is.... My thoughts on Rollie? Well these are all professional players. They don't really need to be "taught" anything. Sometimes there is a bad habit that has developed due to some tendency, or a little tweak here and there that may be delivered as advice or a "hey try this" kind of thing. IMO goalie "coaches" are less "coaches" and more "advisers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehamburglar Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 He's probably good. He needs to let Luongo challenge if hes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-mo Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 who cares? luongo and schneider for the most part both put up excellent numbers last year so it's hard to justify even talking about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANGO Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Lu was fantastic until Rolly got here. Every goalie has weakness in their style. But that is the style that they are comfortable playing with. I never understood this need to change they way he plays, after Rolly, Lu always seamed awkward in net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackberries Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 i dont think luongo has been the same since he blew out his groin vs pittsburgh in that afternoon game. MAybe the 08-09 season? His lateral movement and quickness post to post used to be impeccable and now he spends more time compensating for that, then anything. Also what really sticks out for me is his inability to track and cover rebounds around the crease. Its almost like hes nearsighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
