Display Name Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 No, Schneider didn't play five games in a row, when he was a backup. Luongo's one of the best in the league. I think you should refrain from your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixteen W's Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 I forgot no one reads threads before they post. Tl;dr both goalies are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Luongo has proven himself in the regular season. If he can go an entire playoffs without at least one series where he plays worse than a pee-wee, he can be the starter. This hasn't happened since his first season here.

frazzY 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...
frazzY Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well up there with trading Cam Neely/Hiring of Keenan/Signing Messier, but yes I agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuretoMogilny 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...
BuretoMogilny Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I say biggest, Neely was sort of a late bloomer and at the time Barry Peterson was a decent NHLer, at the time it didnt seem bad.. Keenan had a good resume and had previous success with Messier, who also was an NHL great future hall of famer when he showed up. There was a big buzz in this city, but it was executed poorly and nothing lived anywhere close to expectations. At the time though it seemed right.. Potential was there. If we trade Luongo we are trading away the face of the franchise, best Goalie bar none we've ever had. It would be like NJ trading Brodeur. Montreal has had zero success since they poorly mis treated patrick roy and he demanded a trade. He went on to win 2 more cups and another Conn Smythe. I bet the habs wish they would have treated him better.. I hope Gillis sees this, i dont think I've ever heard him say hes going to trade Lu, its all the media and "fans" stirring crap up and putting words in mouths. I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuretoMogilny 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...
frazzY Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 He's no Patrick Roy kid, wake up. I also think you need to take your blinders off as well as your ear plugs out bc MG has stated many times he is waiting for the right offer. Wake up man !

Primus099 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Lol. All the Lou lovers praying their bromance is not over but it is. Folks accept the fact Lou is being traded once the right deal comes, and given his terrific start it wl come. Most who suggest Schnieds will be the man understand something you people dont, asset management. Yes Lou has played well but the issue of his trade has nothing to do with the regular season lads, it's everything to do with inconsistency in the playoffs. Most elite goalies (border, hasek, Roy) were all able to raise their games in the playoffs. Fact 1: if you look at Lou's save % average over his regular season career it matches up close to those names above. Fact 2: if you look at his playoff save %, it has only been better than his regular season average save % ONCE in his career as a Canuck, and that was year 1. Fact 3: in two of the last three playoffs his save % has been below .900 ( ie in the 800's). Those are the reasons and FACTS behind why he will be moved. His play is only upping his value which helps the team. Time to accept fact, asset management strategy, and reality. You folks are in a drug induced state of denial.

BuretoMogilny Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 and people liek you seem to fail to grasp that goaltending is not the problem and Schneider is not going to make any difference if we can't get our offense going in the playoffs. Schneider 1.33GAA against the Kings, and we lost 2 of 3 games with him. We would have lost in the finals against the Bruins too even if he had kept a 1.33GAA for all 7 games cause we only averaged 1.14GAA But I guess it's Luongo's job to score goals as well, my mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus099 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ya think maybe that's the point there Einstein? Get players in return who can help in depth scoring and add a game breaker prospect for the future? Do ya think maybe mg knows a bit more about managing than you? Ya that's right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferlands_Head Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 He's great when he's great, horrible when he horrible.
