This is true, NBC needs 2 games to televise nationally in the morning/afternoon slots. Right now only Wash/Bos and Van/LA is guaranteed to go Sunday, so if both Detroit and Pittsburgh gets knocked out tonight, the Canucks game will be an early one to accommodate TV schedule.

anyone read this shit tsn posted?

Your! Call: Are Luongo's days in Vancouver numbered?

It's not just something TSN posted, similar articles have been posted on all news outlets.

Reality is one of the two has to be moved this off-season, and while Luongo is the harder one to move because of his salary and NTC, there is a chance that Schneider will be the one still with the team next October.

Right now, from what i have seen and what I have read, it can be either goalies. Down 3-0, there is nothing to lose for the Nuck's to keep playing Schneider. Basically, they could be show casing him to all the potential teams for an off season deal. Or the writing is on the wall and they are going to try to move Lu, which is really less likely since market value may be lowered since the team went with Schides. I don't think Lu's contract will hinder a trade. Since it has been mentioned, a low cap hit, the $10M part of the contract is over and all that remains is the $6M and lower portions of the contract. Only thing that can hinder a move is the NMC.

But one thing is for sure, they supposedly have a capable backup goalie in Eddie Lack so if not this offseason, next off season someone will be gone.

So we'll know what time Sunday's game is by tonight?

Keep in mind that Lack is already 24 and his coaches have said that hes ready for the big leagues

^ :facepalm:

that was on the last page..

damn it. i skimmed through and didnt see anything

I don't think you get what I'm saying; yes, he's the greatest player in the league, and yes, that alone could be a reason for guys to go after him, but the fact of the matter is that he's getting involved in, and often even initiating fights.....Nobody wants to be known as the guy who ultimately ends Crosby's career early, seeing how he's thought of as god's gift to hockey by most of the hockey world...but the way he plays (getting involved and initiating fights), somebody is eventually going to treat him like any other guy and end up knocking him out....The difference is though that for any other guy it would probably be a small concussion, probably keep him out for 10-15 days....but one more concussion for Crosby? ehhh, he's probably done...............Shit, I wouldn't be surprised if he suffered severe brain damage if he got another major concussion....

For people wondering whats happening with Raffi Torres

WTF, 7 minutes in and no goals yet?! Philly and Pittsburgh, I am disappoint.

ONLY 2 Goals in 15min..
SO DISAPPOINT

Bryzgalov is one of the worst goalies in the playoffs that I've ever seen. His net was open on the Sullivan goal. Another high scoring, barn burner game?

Hartnell scores! It's 2-1 for Philly. The floodgates are open.

Man, Bryzgalov is brutal.

One of the best ever for sure. Not only a great goalie but pretty much forced the NHL to enact the new trapezoid rule to minimize his puck handling prowess.

Just don't understand the hate for Crosby.

I am glad we have two quality starting goalies and I am sure teams like Philly, Tampa, Florida, etc would want either one.

What if Philly had goaltending? History will be made

Yes, for the last two decades. Haha.

i dont get why everyone, especially on team1040 is so gung-ho on the "Lu is gone"

lu makes 5.2, sign Corey at 3.5

just under 9 mill on 2 great goalies

2 great goalies sharing the load gets you WAYYYY more points over a season than an ovechkin at 9 mill per..

dumping Manny, Raymond, etc. free's up space but then limits the ability to sign depth forwards

same can be said if Canucks had goaltending in the playoffs

Although Lu and Schneids have a good relationship, not sure if mgmt will go for tying up 9 mil with Lack in the works.

:suspicious::fulloffuck::seriously::facepalm:

you think either of them want to be a back up goalie next season. i would be very surprised if both of them stay with the canucks for next season. no way Cory wants to start next year as a back up goalie again with his skill level, and luongo is not a back up goalie.
