Riviera82 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I agree exactly with this whole quote. CS isn't proven in any aspect, except in the aspect that he can play back up to Luongo. Lord knows I hope Luongo comes back lights out so I can make fun of my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 As typical, any thread with Luongo in the title becomes a bunch of haters using weak logic against Lu. Worst part is, it will never end. Even if he's traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 For Luongo to come back as the starter the Canucks would have to lose pretty badly with Schneider in net first. So you're saying you'd like the Canucks to lose just so you can rub in your Luongo man-crush in your friends' faces? That's the saddest thing I've ever heard, and I wonder if you're a Canucks fan at all. It just sounds like you love Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You really think Lu will only play if Cory loses a bunch of games first? Both goalies would be played quite evenly. Sad that you didn't figure that one out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Umm no, it's been stated by pretty much every analyst / media outlet that Schneider is going to probably be the starter. Do you know what a starter is? In hockey, the starting goaltender plays more games than the backup. So no, they won't be played evenly (unless of course, like I said, Schneider tanks and Luongo regains the starter position). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 And you believe what the media has to say? That can't be good for anyone. Common sense would say to split the games and use them as a tandem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My guess is that Schneider will start between 6 to 7 of every 10 games. I could be wrong but we'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm still guessing 50/50, so I guess we will have to wait and see then. I see both goalies playing well enough to earn a split from AV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah, I believe what professional hockey analysts say over a bunch of people on CDC who think Schneider/Luongo will split the games down the middle because of "common sense". I guess I'm an idiot. Anyway, I'm sure IF Luongo stays, he'll get a fair amount of games. But my original post was: Not that "The Canucks would have to lose badly for Luongo to get a start". If you actually bothered to read my post, you wouldn't have even brought this point up and tried to argue with me over it, since I never even went there originally.

Moonshinefe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 So many analysts predict things that they were extremely wrong about, just as much as anyone on CDC. Sure, I'll listen to what they have to say, but they certainly won't make up my mind when it comes to predictions. Most analysts pick what everyone else is saying anyway. And the Canucks wouldn't have to lose badly with Cory for Lu to get the starter back as you said. All that would have to happen is he outplays Cory, as said by the poster you quoted.

Master Mind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We'll probably trade him. But if he stays, I'd expect to see a split similar to last season, except with Schneider getting the extra 20 starts overall or so. edit: forgot about the shortened season, the extra starts that would be on pace for 20 in a full season, I meant.

Master Mind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Pfft, Schneider should've been the starter ages ago then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowest common denominator Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Start Schneider game one, ride him until a loss/ Start Luongo, ride until a loss/ rinse, spin, repeat until proper trade or cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Pretty sure Lu got a vezina nom in 2011, and a gold medal in 2010. Hard to make him backup right when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spentral Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 best guy plays until one is traded or season is over (cup win) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Schneider has not done enough to become a full-time starter in my opinion. He played 3 games in the playoffs last season and won 1 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
