mbal23 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 today, the guys on nhl.com were asked who they thought was the most important player of the playoffs and one said Cory Schneider and his reasons were If you dont see him the canucks are on a roll, if you do he's going to have a lot of pressure on him. The same guy said canucks beat the devils for the cup. what do you think is his thought correct/reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Ed Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Either way it's nice to have another elite goalie to fall back on if things get sour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwnuck Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 ya i don't think that luo will be in for any more 7-1 games... i think he will be on a very short lease.. and if they see 3 weak goals go in he will get the hook. and Schneider will be in...and they will run with the hot goalie..

Master Mind Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 He does have a point, if we don't see Schneider that most likely means Lu is playing lights out hockey. And it is possible for NJ to make the finals, they are on a roll right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fall0ff Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 you are talking about paul maurice. he was the coach of carolina hurricane for anyone who is wondering. and with all due respect, all nhl.com picks canucks in the stanley cup final, however loose to pittsburgh. and in my opinion, i don't think canucks will loose to pittsburgh, i think they are a different dimension team and i think our team would match up well.

thehamburglar Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm not sure if I do think Schnieds will start many. But I do think if Luongo gets 4 goals on him on not many shots, he'll be out. 4 seems like the number abouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 New Jersey Devils. Won 3 Stanley cups, home of one of the best goaltenders to ever play the game, and the team that introduced "the trap" and popularized defence-first hockey among NHL coaches and pre-cap small market teams who couldn't afford huge name stars. St. Louis, LA, Minnessota, Nashville, Phoenix, Dallas, NY Rangers, Florida, Montreal, Columbus, Boston, and pre-2009 Ottawa all utilize systems similar to the one used by the Jacques Lemaire Devils to win their first cup. Also the team that inadvertently led to the leagues adoption of the trapezoid behind the net and legal two-line passes. Don't count them out. They are an incredibly dangerous team. Also both 6th seed teams in each conference have the benefit of being matched with teams that rank 7th or less but hold 3rd merely because of our seeding system.

nux4lyfe Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Only reason He picked the Devils was because everyone else picked the Rangers, It was a 'sleeper' pick/joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I think Maurice has it bass-ackwards. Schneider and Luongo take pressure off of each other. That is the beauty of a tandem - neither guy is in a do or die situation. Luongo may feel a lot of pressure, but he and Schneider have each other's backs - all the other goaltenders in the playoffs (with the possible exception of Elliot/ Halak) actually have much more pressure on them.
