Schneider Interview


Erik Karlsson

Recommended Posts

As a long-time fan, all I can do is laugh at this situation and how the fans and media are taking it.

We've had virtually nothing but crap for goaltending for decades, and now we have this supposed 'problem' involving having too much quality goaltending?

"OMG! We're messing with their heads! Meanwhile they're both playing awesomely! Aaaiieeee! Jump off the Lions Gate!"

Hahahahaha.

Not sure how people do not know or forget about this... Sorted by all time wins, I will bold the wins, sorry for sloppy charts.

It is possible for Luongo to be #3 all time for wins. You are telling me he is not worth mentioning for hall of fame? If Luo retires or just sucks from here on out then no he is not going to make it in. However, if he puts up even 4 years of 40 wins he is going to be mentioned for hall of fame. If he gets some good hardware in those years, he is in for sure.

It'd be pretty annoying if your predecessor had numerous chances to play every night even if he had an bad game previously for years--then you get your shot as a starter finally after a long time, much longer than most goalies to finally earn your spot--and you don't get remotely the same courtesy.

I'm not saying we shouldn't play the hot goalie, just pointing out that Luongo was on a way, way longer leash. From Schneider's perspective, he's understandably irritated at the situation since he isn't being treated the same way. I'm sure he gets 10000 questions a day about the situation too so that's probably annoying as well. He'll get over it though, he's a professional.

Even Schneider said he would like AV to tell him personally if he's not playing.

Wtf is wrong with our coach? He's pretty unprofessional is you ask me.

He's treated Linden, Naslund, M. Schneider, Hodgson, Wellwood, Shirikov etc, like crap. Notice that these players are mostly skilled players?

He's obsessed with his favorite grinders and is ego is way too big, can't stand this guy.

COry is 27 and has been the consumate patient/team guy. Last summer he could have chased teh FA spending frenzy and would have likely got more money and a guaranteed starter job somewhere. Obviously, MG convinced him he was going to be the guy here and based on what Luy was saying and that MG had LU on the market, why would he think it wasn't true.

He has had to watch his college/junior competition (Quick) become an NHL star and garner accolades while he has played 2nd fiddle to Lu.

Now, after all that, he finds himself in no-man's land again.

Of course he's P'd!!

If AV continues down this path, Cory will ask for a trade, guaranteed. He won't do it publicly like Lu but he will make it clear to MG he wants out...he may already have done so.

Like Trevor Linden said yesterday, there is no way Vancouver can keep both these guys as it will become a bigger and bigger controversy and distraction in the room.
