Tangerines Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not sure how much more you would need to showcase a vezina finalist, Jennings winner, gold medalist, world cup champion goalie. But maybe the Avs wanna have a better look at him for some reason? O'reilly still hasn't signed sleep who knows what going on there. I remember last year schneider had a lights out game vs the Avs. Not sure about this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Any one who thinks we are showcasing lou has lost their minds. Lou has played over 12 seasons in the NHL every team knows what he's about and the type of goalie he is. He is not a rookie with no NHL experience. One good or bad game is not going to be the decidng factor on where or not a team ups what they're offering. Seriously people give your head a shake.

Nashi Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 We should just ride a hot goaltender until he cools off, Luongo was pretty good against the Kings so no reason to bench him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Different year, different situation. He made the decision last year that has led to the need to trade Lu and now is messing with his replacement's confidence. Another stellar personnel decision by AV.

Canucksftw0205 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm fairly confident we'll win this game. We've had a very good record against them and I think the boys will want that win that much more after the past few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 If the decision was based on performance, Cory would be in net and LU would be playing D alongside Tanev with Edler riding the pine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'd be more inclined to move Edler back to the left side where he belongs before benching him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Luongo doesn't need to be a showcased, he's been an elite goalie for like 10 years... It's all about playing the hot goalie and trying to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 You don't like the idea of Lu playing D?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Its a great move by AV or MG because all 3 of the rumoured destinations for Luongo are all watching tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vansicle Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 AV is just playing the goalie who gives his team a better chance to win. The entire team played pretty similarly against San Jose and LA, the biggest difference was Luongo held his team in it with some fantastic saves and Cory scored on himself (Marleau goal, he pushed it in) and crapped the bed. This isn't even a decision, Lu's playing unreal right now and Cory isn't. Play the better goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 AV adding to the controversy and messing with Cory's confidence. When Lu was the starter, he was given numerous bad games to work through it. AV is handling Cory like he did Hodgson, Linden, Naslund. What an A$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well at least he can block shots. I just don't see why you punish a guy for being asked to play out of position and doing a bad job by putting someone else even more out of position.

SvenBae Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Guys might be overreacting, it could possibly be because AV wants to play Schneider in the Chicago game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagin Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 AV would be a fool not to consult with his boss when sitting out a highly-paid player the team may have trouble moving due to a long-term deal with a NMC. Gillis would be responsible for any fallout so it is important to at least have a conversation about it. If you're in a situation where consulting with your boss over a $64 million decision isn't necessary, my apologies, As to the main topic of the thread, Luongo played well and the team is desparately trying to get what points they can. Last season is not comparable because we were able to risk losing a couple of games to try to get Luongo in a groove. In a shortened season, every point is more valuable and we aren't getting enough of them already. I prefer Schneider as our starter, but Luongo earned another start with his play against the Kings.
