Schneider just has a hot hand. Ride it of course, but he is not a .999 goalie. Nobody is. Luongo is The Man, and needs to step up when it's his turn. Because you won't want to depend on Schneider when the inevitable cool streak comes along.

Unless he really is another Jimmy Howard... But you can't tell just yet.

Most importantly of all, the Canucks are actually playing well against these teams. Kesler is going, Burrows is going, hell even Booth has scored a few, and Daniel is finding goals as well. To me THAT is more important than Schneider's outstanding numbers.

to be honest, im more surprised the canucks let the bluejackets get off 48 shots to begin with. thats gotta speak about our team a bit..

tsn interview with bieksa was funny.
"are you concerned about the number of shots cory had to face tonight?"
"no no, how is he gonna get another game if he's sitting back there with 10-15 shots in the net. ask him, he was 40, 50. it's good for his stats and good for his confidence."

Now since Schneider is going to be starting for a while, can someone teach John Garrett how to pronouce his name? :troll:

411ken 11-30-2011 07:09 AM

Luongo is still for sure #1 but for some reason, something tells me we will win the cup with a backup goalie..lol.. just like how the blackhawks did with Niemi... haha

Ronin 11-30-2011 08:30 AM

I swear Garrett said "Schneiderp" the other day.

I keep hearing him say "Snider", He's not a member of twisted sister dammit. lol

Tapioca 11-30-2011 08:46 AM

Trading Luongo is a fantasy for the following reasons:
- No trade clause for the next 5 seasons. Gillis does not believe in abusing such clauses.
- Even if Lu were to waive his NTC, what could we get in return? People always talk about that one big power forward who would put us over the top. Guess what? They don't grow on trees and the best ones have a larger cap hit than Lu's contract.
- Schneider is just as capable of mental breakdowns as Lu. In game 6 against Chicago, he coughed up the puck twice which led to 2 goals. We should have won Game 6.

LoL... so misleading. While it's true that no team in the NHL has more wins than the Canucks, eight other teams have the same number of wins. :p

Schneider starts again Thursday against the Preds.

@Vancanucks Cory Schneider to start tomorrow vs. Nashville.

As long as schnieder keeps winning, he'll start. So let's not be too surprised now and no point in jumping the gun about Lu being done here. But I won't be surprised when AV acts smug and starts taking credit about Schnieders recent success

Schneider was playing the puck as a result of coughing up 2 goals

This is coming from a person who isn't on the Lu fan wagon too. Respect.

Btw...wtf happened to Kristen Reid. What is she doing now?

Spectre_Cdn 11-30-2011 11:53 AM

Kristen Reid has been showing on Global's sportscast occasionally, and she also co-hosts Breakfast TV on CityTV (according to the commercials).

Tim Budong 11-30-2011 11:59 AM

Luongo will never be understold/praised/worship/whatever u want to call it until he brings home the prize

I bet u not even a vezina could shut up his critics

its unfortunate, but fact

Hondaracer 11-30-2011 12:14 PM

Theyre not critics, theyre idiots.
