DeNiro Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 A spark would have been playing Cory in game 3...playing him in 4 and 5 - both elimination games - sent a stronger message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 If we do keep Schneids it won't be long before part of the fan base turns on him. Judging from some of his comments on how he is tired of how Luongo was treated makes me wonder exactly how long he'll want to stay here. It would serve some of the Luongo-haters right if they also indirectly drive Cory out of town as well. As a sesaon ticket holder I hope not.

cmpunk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Fans don't realize as good as Schnieds was last 3 games, we only won 1 out of 3!! And this is not a knock on Schnieds rather showing we can still lose with unreal goaltending...With those stats Canucks should have won all 3 games. This is why if Schnieder gets you a star foward, that trade makes wayy more sense. But it seems Lu has requested it out. The way I see it Schnieder will give us great goal tending no doubt, but if no significant pieces are added up front, we aint going far. We may end up being the 06/07 Canucks when Lu gave us unreal goaltending but we had zero offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadweed Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 No, it proves that we were in a 2-0 hole and that the team needed a spark. But go ahead and jump to conclusions like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Just as I wish Lou well, I wish some of you that are leaving well with your new team. Assuming that Lou is indeed traded. MG is not going to take a stupid deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The arguments against keeping lui is mostly emotional. I suggest you guys take a bigger picture look at what the team's weaknesses are. Goaltending is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Why is it that the team seemed to always go to Schneider when it 'needed a spark'? Like when they played the powerhouse teams in Chicago, Boston, Red Wings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 So then you just keep switching goalies back and forth? No, once you make the change you stick with it. Nothing's more demoralizing for a team than constantly switching back and forth between goalies in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's Smirk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Because they were proving that he could beat teams other than just weak divisional opponents, therefore driving up hi market value. Pretty straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotdawg Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Did'nt you guy's here what Luongo said yesterday "I want to do what best for the team". Now, why don't you guy's do the same? i.e, get behind Schneider and the rest of the team. His last interview as a Canuck will hopefully unite our fanbase, and we'll all just support our team.

DeNiro Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 WE can go around and around on this one but just for fun... If LU is the designated starter and #1 goalie for the team then yes, you put him back in for game 4. Teams sometimes switch goalies back and forth a number of times in a game. If the intent is to get the team to wake up, starting Cory in one game would be enough. Add to this that AV always states he puts the guys in that he feels give him the best chance of winning on a game by game basis and the message to Lu was crystal clear. YOu can also look at the stats - Lu played great and let in 7 goals in 2 games. Cory played great and let in 4 in 3.33 games. DId the team play better in the last 3 games...perhaps a bit but Cory faced 81 shots in the last 2 regulation games. Certainly the team defence was not "tight" for Cory.
