Let Lack compete for the starting job

I call Eriksson for dark horse.

Lack is probably the most overated player in the Canucks system right now. He had very average AHL stats last season, is coming off injury, has never played an NHL game and people think he's the next Schneider for some reason.

He can barely be expected to back-up considering his numbers let alone challenge Luongo for starter.

Meanwhile we have Eriksson who was the best European goaltender last season, put up unbelievable numbers in the regular season and was even more clutch in the playoffs with a GAA of around 1. Right now Luongo > Eriksson > > > > Lack

No more over rated than Schneids was. They've been very similar in the AHL. The only question mark is the jump to the NHL. Also you greater than thing is way off. If anything one of the most over rated players is Eriksson for the exact reason you bring up at the start. You call him a dark horse and then say he's >>>> Lack. You do understand why people have a hard time taking you seriously right?

I say they have both proven nothing.

And nice Schneider jab BTW

all you Luongo worshipers forget that we drafted and developed him into a NHL starter, he is gone now, so cut the guy some slack.

He can no longer harm your precious Luongo.

Luo plays 85% of the games in this his last Canuck season.

Shortchanging Alberts and Tanev allows enough cap for a fringe back up if Lack is still adversely limited due to his injury and recovery.

Eriksson is compelling as a story and may compete but we don't know if his mojo is ready until he has some game action at the NHL level.

I haven't found the entire interview could someone link it. I've just seen bits of it...

Also: Luongo haters are just as dumb as Luongo lovers. You and Apollo really should face off in a fight, I'm sure a lot of people would come and watch...

Wow, a new low has been hit. Kiwis' posts haven't stood as either good or bad, but I'll be on the lookout now.

I'll use one quote of your's in particular to showcase how awful your post truly is: "We have a new coach who won't be playing favourites nearly as much as the idiot he replaced." What part of Tort's tenure with the NYR or the TBL shows that he'll play the far inferior backup goalies? Martin Biron is lightyears beyond what Eddie Lack will be next season, and he barely got a sniff behind Lundqvist. In what universe do you think he will play Lack as equal to or more then Roberto?

There is no goalie controversy. Those days are over. Lack can compete for the back up spot and thats it. Luo is our guy moving forward and he retires a canuck and the best tender we ever had. Get on board or please GTFO.

Luongo will be our starter forever.... That's why we traded Schneids rather than Lu Plus Luongo will have a bounce back season this season and win the Cup for our Canucks this year Also the new hockey equipment rule will probably benefit Luongo GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!! :)
