Ricciuti1 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I know that this might seem like a Schneider vs Luongo thread once again. But, as a fan standpoint I think it was of the best interest for the organization to keep Luongo. I've always been a supporter of Luongo throughout the years, because I know what he can bring and I also know how this organization was prior to Luongo. Having AV start Schneider and be perceived by media and fans as our #1 goalie heading into the season was pretty key. Being a fan of this team for years and years, it is easy to see how the fans and media can dislike a goal with a few soft goals here and there and a mini slump. Picture our team without Luongo right now. Schneider is already getting a bit of "hate" from the fans and Luongo is still here. The fans at the games, decide to begin cheering for Luongo again and the media is back on the bandwagon once again. The main point I am trying to make here is that, we as fans need to realize what we have in our goalies and cannot solely blame loses on them. Luongo is a world class goalie and in my opinion he should be the one staying and preparing Eddie Lack for his starting role down the road. As fans after the Mclean trade back in the 90's to the trade for Luongo in 2006, we remember the dark days for our goaltending. Be grateful for our goaltending situation right now. I'm glad that both goalies are here right now, because as fans sometimes we have a short memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Ed Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 LU is still our starter. Contrary to fans that had him pegged as being tradable for a bag-o-pucks during the last offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobopan Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 This was predictable.. ah well. Get your licks in on Schneider while you can cause as soon as Luongo has a bad game you know its coming the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 both have 4 wins each at the end of the day and both have had near the same amount of playing time the board really hit the panic button after this loss and completely forgot about the last 6 wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesler's Nose Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Schneids did let in a bad goal, and that last one was a sloppy play that surprisingly worked out in their favour... *sigh* Oh well, can't win 'em all. Next game versus St. Louis, let's go with Lu and see how he does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avicii Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If Luongo gets a shutout next game.. Every single one of our really terrible loses have one thing in common. Schneider was in net for all of them. Sharks, Ducks and tonight. Fun statistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.A.A Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It's one loss people! Calm down!!! Schneids is a great goalie, and we are lucky to have him and Luo as our two options in net. AV can pick any goalie, literally due a coin toss, and either one will give us a great chance at winning. Yeah there were maybe 1 or 2 sloppy goals tonight, but every goalie has an off night. Cut the kid some slack, stop freaking out, and move on to the next game. So frustrating to read all these stupid comments about Luo or Schneider after an off game!! Honestly, many fans don't realize just how lucky we are to have such a good team that has a good chance of winning every time they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.A.A Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 And lets not make this Luo vs. Schneider Canucks are playing as a team, they aren't pitting one goalie against another, have consistently said that they feel comfortable with either goalie in net. Why do we fans then always do these silly comparisons after each game? /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahf149 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I was rooting for Schnieder earlier in the season, but tonight he was downright HORRENDOUS. Id say he lost his starting spot. Thats two bad games hes played already. Luongo hasnt had one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucksnihilist Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well Schneider has not played as well as Lu this year But played better than him last year... Seems like the goalie with less pressure plays better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
