-DLC- Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 So you make the best of a not even bad situation?...you get the luxury of going with the hot hand. In the case that either one can't take the pressure of that? - well, that's a sign in itsef. It's the big boys club and there is no place for ruffled feathers or pouting in the heart of champions. You prove you deserve the spot - a little family competition never hurt anything and it'll make sure no one's coasting. That's my two cents. Go Lu. And Schneids. And, as above, I'm pretty sure Schneids'll be slated for Chicago. So it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 ....I would think the goalies salaries don't even play a part in who starts.Correct me if I'm wrong but,Is there much difference between sitting a $5.3m player or a $4.0m player ?

I R Baboon Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is the game not be listed for anyone else on their guide??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avicii Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Different year, different situation. He made the decision last year that has led to the need to trade Lu and now is messing with his replacement's confidence. Another stellar personnel decision by AV.

apollo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Luongo doesn't need to be a showcased, he's been an elite goalie for like 10 years... It's all about playing the hot goalie and trying to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 You're foolish if you think Luongo doesn't deserve another start after that Kings game. You're silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanwincup Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I see the kiddies are setting themselves up for disappoinment. 2-2 tie. Van takes it in overtime 3-2 Van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I donno why everyone is freaking out about Luo starting. Luo had to get another start after last game. I would prefer give Schnide the start against the hawks anyway and Luo the Avs makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancanwincup Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well said... That's it. Nothing else... I can't believe the Luongo hater's keep making excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 If the Nucks lose to Col you guys will really have something to bicker over. Not even the absent 2nd line is an excuse to lose to these guys. 4-2 Nucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Luongo does not need to be showcased after 10 years of being a solid goalie. Fans actually think Gm's don't know what Luongo is all about. He is only been the starter for one of the NHL's biggest markets, but I'm sure gm's haven't noticed or seen him. Get freakin real. He is simply starting because of playing a solid game in LA. Say anything else that helps you justify this rather simple and clear reasoning. And people saying its because Schneider is being saved for the Hawks think again. His numbers against the Avs are steller and his numbers against the Hawks are worse than Luongo's. CS is 3-2 vs the Hawks and a GAA above 4.00....

Kass9 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Stop crying about AV adding fuel to the fire, you people are crazy. Lui has been playing better, therefore he should start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagin Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Schneider was not a $4 million player at that point in time. Switching starters in the playoffs had potential long-term consequences (we are seeing them right now). Those consequence are largely Gillis' responsibility not Vigneault's. I'm not saying the decision was dictated by Gillis, but not at least talking to the GM beforehand would be very unprofessional for any coach.

yogolol Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Honestly I just think AV wants Lou to get his first win of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 People reading into this goalie thing are making me laugh. 1. Either goalie would be a reasonable choice. 2. If Schnieder is the bonifide starter it is quite reasonable that they are giving him the Chicago game. 3. Playing Lou against the weaker competition could pad his stats and lead to "the" trade we are all waiting for. If he wins the next 5 in a row GM's will start calling. Lou played great the other night, too bad he had to get scored on in the last minute. Wasn't really his fault. I don't think he even saw it. And yeah, Lou is playing slightly better but not by much for all the Lou'vers out there. Cory has been very decent in the past 2. The Sharks wasn't his fault by any stretch.

King Heffy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 ...My reference to their salaries are in relation to this season right now.If you re-read your post it would in no way appear you were not talking this season also.No reference to playoffs in your post.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I guess we can take the off the 'Replacement' in the title and make it the 'Official' GDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
