cmpunk Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Those who quote this appear to have selective amnesia when it comes to Thomas's role in that number of goals. Our offence lacked production but not because of chances. Thomas stood on his head for 7 games...Lu for only 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 That is an excuse at the NHL level playing in the biggest game of the season for the stanley cup? "oh we tried to score but their goalie was just too good" get out of here...at least Lu was great for 4 games, our offense was crap for the entire 7 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus099 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 You're dumb. You also don't base the rest of your life off a small sample size that's changing right in front of your nose. Schneider is right behind Luongo if you take out the first game. There is little difference between the two right now. There is more to life than stats and it still doesn't change the situation. Luongo has indicated it is time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportswriter Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 This is a nice problem to have, 2 clear number one goalies. At this point, why would we not keep Lu and make a run with what we have. Goaltending is the most critical position in the playoffs. We are the envy of the league right now. Lu is a proven playoff performer and his only problem was he couldn't score himself when our forwards ran dry. From now until trade deadline is for Schnieder to prove if HE is the real deal for our future, otherwise I say keep Lu and make a run for the prize.

Sportswriter Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The problem is, Luongo is always one of the top goalies in the league, we talk about it every season. He plays like a phenom for the entire regular season, stands on his head. But as soon as we get into the playoffs, its like he decides he's had enough. Maybe we play him too much during the reg season and he's just worn out. Schneider hasn't had a chance to prove that he can handle a whole season of games, so we dont know if he can handle it or not. But eventually we need to find a goalie who can carry us through the pace of the play-offs. Maybe with this being a really short season he Luongo can keep the stamina needed to bring it home. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmpunk Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Funny how when Lu plays "lights-out" he's the team's savour and teh reason we won but when Thomas does it, it's no excuse. It works both ways. Thomas never had a weak game in that SCF and made timely, incredible saves in every game. Lu was able to match his performance in 4 games. Lu wasn't the only reason the team lost - injuries, Hamhuis out etc - but Thomas out-played him in 3 games and that was a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Aerosex Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Luongo is probably the best goalie in the league right now behind Anderson and Rinne, maybe even Price. You don't trade away a top-5 goalie to sit with a guy who's around top-20 in stats in Schneider. Right now Lu and Schneider have played the same number of games and it's quite obvious. Luongo > Schneider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thomas did play lights out, but he didn't have too because we barely got 1 goal a game. Saying had Lu not had those bad games in Bos and lets in less than 3, we still don't win those game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Got to like Luo's game and attitude. Guy has a great attitude to go with a great life. Sure is interesting times for this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus099 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The team has played much better in front of Luongo than Schneider, and has faced substantially less shots (27) than Schneider (30). If you remove game 1 in which neither of them played well (and the team was atrocious in front of them) Luongo - .944 sv % Schnieder - .945 sv % Schnieder has also faced substantially more shots short handed (7) while playing in 1 less game. So no, so far (as great as Lu has been) it has not shown me than Luongo >Schnieder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
