CanucksRulz22 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yesterday Cory played remarkable and as usual tension filled game in which we were on the brink of elimination. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a luongo hater at all. The way Cory played I believe he can do the reverse sweep of this series. IF we win this series and Cory is in the net then I think AV should make it clear to both Goalies that home games will be played by Lu and Road games by Cory. Lu has always played good in home games and Cory was more given the task of playing in enemy territory in the last couple of years. Cory is also more stronger mentally than Lu when playing in opposing rink. He has won against Bruins, Hawks and SJ on their ice. If any goalie had a bad game, replace him with other for that game and back to the schedule for the next game. This will also help Canucks management decide which goalie to keep in the off-season based on their performance. The reason I'm proposing this idea is because by this way media won't put pressure on Lu everytime AV change his goalie and Cory has always been a very reliable goalie. Also by this way, Lu will get more games than Cory if the series goes till Game 7 and he will be well rested for his next games. What do u guys think? Edit: I said IF we win this series with Cory. I don't want Cory to be taken out in rest of this series. I meant that from next series. Starting from clean slate. I think LU should be in the net in home games meaning Game 1,2,5 & 7 and Cory in Game 3,4 & 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think you ride the goalie that gets the wins. Why would Luongo get home games? He has yet to win a home game this post season. The team will ride Cory until they are eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think you could have posted this in one of the other 50 goalie threads made this week. Someone even made one for this exact idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's Smirk Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The reason I'm saying to play LU in home game is because last year Lu won us game in Van in VAN-CHI series but blew it in CHI. Same thing happened in VAN-BOS series. We won first 2 games but we were blasted in Boston. Also Lu has always played gr8 when Canucks fan chant LUUUUUUUUUUU. And Cory has really showed that he is mentally strong to take opposing fans and media and play his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'NucK™ Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Cory wins and you want to put Lu in? Do you really think AV would do that? - would seem idiotic if Lu lost game 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajusta Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Start Luongo in NOT deciding games. So games 1 and 2.. etc. That way we get to rest Schneider. Start Schneider in BIG games like games 4 5, 6.. etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadweed Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Game 5 is another elimination game. lf they (the Canucks organization, not just AV) trusted Cory in game 4, why would they not trust him again in game 5? Cory is THE better goalie, everyone knows that. From MG, to AV, to Henrik and the team. If they use Lu in game 5 and they lose, it will have greater backlash than Schneids losing that game. Lu's fans should should accept the hard fact- he is no longer the #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kacvan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Luongo will play for the rest of the playoffs after this series is finished providing the Canucks can get the reverse sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodyHodgson's #1fan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If the canucks lose this series in a game where Cory plays then Lu dosn't get to go down with the team even though he is the stater, what will that do for his confidence level? I tihnk there seriously messing with Luongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadweed Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Well Luongo gets paid the big $ so for that matter he should be starting. But yes I would start Luo if I were the coach and if the team get through, but that is what I would do though IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rypper-37 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I don't see how Lu is gonna replace Schnieder. Lu has been great, Schnieder has been beyond phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
