Ray_Cathode Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 yeah 2011 playoffs didn't happen or w.e You know whenever he does good it's just omitted...you know winning gold in OT in the city his NHL team is in, there wasn't any pressure on him...he was the best player in the 2 games he lost to L.A in the playoffs last season. But nope none of it ever happened..Luongo is just plain horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Okay, so let me get this straight: - Luongo is by far the best goalie this team has ever had (I agree) - Luongo is the #2 goalie in the league right now, by the numbers (fact) And the solution is to trade him? IF I had only known! HO - LEE Crap No. You know what needs to happen, we retire his number here in Vancouver after another 3-5 seasons and in the meantime have some staffers at Rogers wheel out a solid oak desk to the blue line every opening skate out. Have a nice briefcase laid out on the desk. Lu can skate over to it, while everyone else is doing laps, pull out a pair of brass balls and recite the Alec Baldwin monologue from Glengary Glen Ross every single home game until he retires.

GrooveC Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 so who takes over when Luongo retires in 3-5 years cause right now Schneider is the closest to being a starter after that we have Lack and Cannata who have yet to play in the nhl it took Schneider 3 years in the Ahl and 2 years in the Nhl as backup to become a starter so we would pretty much be throwing Lack or Cannata into a starting job which they may not be ready for the Canucks need to keep Schneider for the future because with him we have a starting goalie for 10 years minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesler's Nose Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They're both capable goalies, best tandem in the NHL in my opinion... My bet is that Schneids starts next game though, give Lu a much earned rest. (Not because he usually gets lit up in Minnesota) lol I just don't want Schneider to get rusty or all of a sudden lose a bit of confidence, he needs to be playing at least once or twice every couple games. There's still plenty of season left for each of them to get a lot of games in.. Unless Lu gets traded to Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We should have a thread dedicated to dredging up all the Luongo hate from the summer. Name and shame some posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Let's get real Luongo is not the backup. He has started 5 games already and Schneider has started 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 He's great when he's great, horrible when he horrible. Edit: team Canada was stacked he had little to do with the gold but let he flung it around like he was the MVP... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmpunk Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ya gets us too the playoffs and then chokes when it matters. Seen it way to many times to think something else is going to happen. Trade him while he's hot and we can actually get something for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowest common denominator Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Imagine if there was no lockout and we traded Lu in haste? That wou;d have sucked, big big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We need a number one goalie!11!eleven All we have are two back-up goalies! /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus099 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Jeez, there is a hysterical, historical edit. Luongo sucked in the playoffs against LA last year - he had the worst stats of any goalie in the playoffs who played more than one game - Schneider, had the best GAA and save %. Luongo was also middle of the pack during the regular season last year, while Schneider was second or third. But that was last year. This year, after training with Allaire, he is a different goalie and looks great - all of the horrible stuff from last year - slow side to side, beat over the glove, beat through the five hole, bad positioning on the post, has pretty much disappeared this year - along with his traditional slow start. You can't change history just because he is playing well now - just be happy he is playing well now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagori78 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 This happened in Boston two years ago. Tim Thomas lost his starting job to an up and coming Tuuka Rask. The next season, he stole his job back and ended up winning the Stanley Cup. I'm not sure management ever came out and said that the job belonged to Schneider anyway, I would blame the local media and fans for making that proclamation, anyway. I have no problems with Luongo being the number one for this season, and continue to ride the hot hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I've said it before and will say it again the simple solution to goaltender controversy is to switch em up goal for goal - Want to stay in net don't let pucks in!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teen Icarus Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The way I see it, I think that Luongo will be eventually traded unless Schnieder gets impatient and requests a trade. It's shame [well, not really] that Luo is playing so well now and is causing a massive controversy (not to damaging Schnied's confidence). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
