Bossy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 lol.. so it's only stats that matters at the end of the day.. great games? he let in some weak goals during those games.. but oh wait that's not his fault it was the defense. .933 save sure against some of the lowest scoring team? San Jose is the 2nd lowest and Columbus is the 4th lowest if you are going to hold the Nashville game against Luongo. If Luongo can have a shut out and be average by your standard.. then Schneider was only great against LA and the games against Phoneix, Columbus, San Jose was average at best.

Watermelons Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 You must be crazy to not think the Canucks team was stacked that year. There was not a better roster than the Canucks that year, not even the Bruins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ṣpiderman Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So explain why the "best roster in the NHL" only scored 8 goals in 7 games. Better yet, explain why the goalie who had 2 shutouts in that series is taking all the blame when the guys in front of him gave him no offensive support.

Watermelons Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Because there's something called going cold in sports. Hockey isn't about the best team who wins the cup, you can have the best roster and still lose. It's about who gets hot at the right time. That is why you see so many underdogs do well in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ṣpiderman Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So the forwards and defence are allowed to "go cold" in the playoffs when the game matters but Luongo has to stand on his head every single game or he loses his job. Okay I get it now. It all makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papayas Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm guessing you didn't watch much of the playoffs. You must be a new fan Did you see the goals that went in on Luongo during games that mattered? Most of them were off the rush snipes that Luongo should have had. I still remember Marchand coming down the wing. What a bad goal to give up. You also don't remember that almost every single one of our defensemen were injured except 1. We had forwards playing back, and that messed up all the lines. No one told Luongo to stand on his head, but if you're giving up 8 goals in the finals you're not giving your team a chance to even be in the game. 4 goals in under 10 mins? With the way Thomas was playing, I wouldn't be surprised if the team's mood dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 7uongo overrated on these boards. Not even other teams will bother giving up major assets for his services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Let's review their last 4 games, shall we? Schneider: L, .875 save %, bad game. OTL, .926 save %, great game OTL, .933 save %, 28 stops, great game W, .933 save %, 28 stops, great game 4 points. 7uongo: L, Bellyflopping vs Calgary, .875 save % L, Bellyflopping vs Detroit, .714 save %, lost the game. 8 GA, Ro8erto is washed up. W, Easy SO, Nashville didn't even have a good scoring change. OTL, Bellyflopping vs the Blues, .870 save % 3 points. 7ungo just bellyflops his way to losses every game, but 7uongo dick riders just love the taste of his chicken so they don't care if he loses the team every game he starts. 7ungo is WASHED UP.

Heretic Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Look at this 7uongo dick rider, facts hurt too much for him. Bellyflopping isn't effective goaltending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMR Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have been a Canuck fan for 37 years and for years I lived with mediorce goaltending and dreams of the Canucks playing for the stanley cup. Back in 2006/7, along comes Luongo and wow, singlehandly pushed our team into the playoffs and was a rock in the Dallas playoff series especially in one of the longest playoff game ever to involve the Canucks. Back then, Luongo was regarded as a superstar as he alone gave the Canucks a chance to win every night. Flash forward to 2013, after the Canucks have made the playoffs every year except for one. After division titles and presidents trophies that apparently no one cares about. After Gillis played with his mind and made him captain then teared it off his jersey. After Luongo won a gold medal, the jennings trophy, and after taking us within one game of the stanley cup. The media and us fans wants to run him out of town. Remember, he didn't ask for a trade and only said he wouldn't mind being moved if it was best for the team. Yes later he said it was time to move on but at that time, he thought he had played his last game for the Canucks Luongo did collapse against Chicago but at the end of the day, Luongo made the stop on Patrick sharp and we finally beat the black hawks. In the cup finals, our offence couldn't produce, yet we made it to the 7th game of the finals. Who do you think got us there, Luongo of course. With all that history, Luongo now has to share playing time with Schneider and is now considered a back up. Schneider is very good but he's still an unproven starter that hasn't won many titles everywhere he's played. Schneider has been given the chance this year and clearly the last few games shows he's not ready yet. Stop with all the nonsense about playing into a rhythm, Cory has been a back up and has played very well with minimal games the last two years. One thing i don't' understand is that Marty Brodeur still plays for the devils, Miller still plays for the Sabres, Cam Ward still plays for the hurricanes, and Fleury still plays for the penguins. These are all elite goaltenders that can and have had off years in their career. We have Luongo, why do we want to run the best goaltender we've had out of town? One point many fans have forgotten in my opinion is that this is Luongo's team, the core guys developed through the years that Luongo has been here. With the way the team is playing infront of Schneider and the way Cory has been playing (last year, he made every save look easy. He looked like he wasn't moving between post to post. This year he's flopping around and losing his post and angles) Its time to give Luongo the starting job and let him run with it. Yes Luongo was ventilated in Detroit but he's had his shares of bad games. Its time the Canucks get off their 'Schnieds' and give Luongo one last stand to lead the team he's back stopped the last 7 years. The core group deserves one last chance to run with Luongo, a shot at the playoffs and the stanley cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossy Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Can you not have a mature conversation without attacking someone? It doesn't matter if you lose by 1, 2, 4, 6 goals - all that matters is that you lost. So stop trying to sugar coat Schneider's play - even he has said what he's done isn't good enough. Both goalies have been average lately. Overall for the season so far, Luongo has been marginally better and the stats prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman44 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 NOBODY expects the Canucks Inquisition. Luongo has 3 last chan...he has 2 Last Chances. Gillis, fetch the SOFT CUSHIONS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I agree with what you've said and have been saying it for a long long time. Luongo has really been treated very poorly by our organization and many fans. For a guy that single handedly took us out of the gutter. Now we gave up on him and we are on our way right back down. All summer long this board had him traded away for a bag of pucks and Schneider was our new Patrick Roy. Kassian was the next bertuzzi and Kesler was going to do something. I don't know what Kesler was going to do but I'm sure it could be more than what he did in the playoffs right... Oh wait he's injured. At the moment I'm not happy in the direction we are going.
