OK, So What I have heard this May 2012

Burrows without the Sedins is Anson Carter(white version)
Lou needs a shrink and a pocket pussy(or a spouse who lives in the same time zone)...he is a high maintenance bitch!

I hope Ginger has thick skin cause as soon as that first 3-5 game loosing streak happens it'll be game on for the rabble.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this does not happen.

There is an unapproachability, an arrogance, to Luongo that (along with his flashes of odd play) polarizes his existence here.

I'm gonna say Schneiders level headed demeanor and on ice coolness buys him out of the goalie graveyard game in Vancouver.

Along with his stellar play and Cup win of course.



Of course I was wrong that one time when I typed Weber/Ballard instead of Ballard/Weber.

Ya well, we'll see...

I'm not saying I hope Schneider fails... I hope he doesn't. I just think the odds of him failing next season are greater than Luongo's. Hell hath no fury like Vancouver with an ordinary goalie. The pressure will be through the roof and every team facing little red will have scouted and prepared to BEAT him. He hasn't had to face pre-scouting up to this point. Do you think Boston expected to face Luongo or Schneider? He better not stumble or the walls will close in, in a hurry.

It's so funny to hear people say "with Luongo the Leafs make the playoffs for sure". Ummmmm interesting! Then why exactly are we running the dude outta town? Riiiiight, because he needs a sports psychologist!!!

I've said I don't know the back story. I don’t know if life has dictated Luongo needing to get out. If he needs to get out for Family reasons you gotta move him. I'm just not gonna sit here and pretend it's a good thing. That life will be "better without him" because I guaran-fuckin-tee Schneider will have up's and downs in the days ahead! Then we’ll see what kind of therapy ginger needs!

Even if its true Lou isn't going to be our problem by the Draft. Why continue pile on? Leave the derision to TO, TB or FL fans from here on in.

Cory won the #1 job, fans rejoice (until there is a loosing streak). Lets refocus on highlighting Cory's obvious flaws and get on the Eddie Lack bandwagon!

lol... good points Don, but lets face it, we fans are fickle and could find fault in anything (except our own analysis). Goalies tend to be odd ducks. As for the arrogance card, you can't tell me Bryzgalov (sp), Thomas, Quick or any of the other "elite" tenders out there aren't head cases.

Hell the only thing Bryz is scared of is bears apparently.

I wonder however, how long does Cory have to win us the cup before the knives start coming out? 1 season? 3 seasons? How long is our window with this core?

Indeed we will.

The rest of your post was dripping with so much sarcasm the keys on my board got stuck so I can respond no further....

I was going to say pretty much the same thing. The kid is too likeable. But Cloutier was a well liked guy too...

(did I just leave the door open for a Strangelove "too many nice guys on our team" rant?)

Lever you're talking about Lou's ego???

The dude got us to the SCF last year. To game 7 despite the fact the team scored 8 goals in 7 games!

I think you're wrong. I think once teams scout and prepare to face Schneider on a nightly basis they'll find ways to beat him. The fact is Schneider has never played more than 33 games in a season and our opponents (despite Schneiders talent) have not prepared to face him. Certainly not like they'll prepare once Luongo is gone! He has three playoff games under his belt.

That’s all I’m saying. I'm not saying Schneider sucks or that I think he’s a crappy goalie. I believe we have a window to succeed (win the friggen Cup) and I believe Loungo gives us our best shot...warts and all.

Ohdee, are you talking about mine???

Yep, I'm pretty clear on what you are saying and that you disagree with me.

Que sera...

As you said, we'll see....

This smells like kicking a dog once for good measure as its going out the door.

Fucking dog shat on my favorite chair 4 times in a row and I bet if I didn't kick him out of the house, He'd shit on it again.
I loved that mutt but the new puppy already shits outside...smarter dog gets the chair.

My first dog's name was Ginger.

True story.

Well you just answered your own questioning you dumb fug Who the fuck cares if he goes on a losing steak. Who the fuck cares if we don't win the Presidents again, Luo did not steal the playoff games for us when he should have, he had his shot and failed...time to go to plan C, you can be negative all you want but I sure as hell don't want to go into the future with a goalie that has PROVEN he can't constantly gitter done...have a nice day asswipe

I don't see any of this as kicking Luo on his way out the door.

He clearly has his issues but has played extremely well for us in his tenure here. If he wants to stay and win a cup then it should be Schneids we shop.

If Luo is dealt however it is because he wants to be moved for likely more than one reason.

Can you imagine keeping Luo and having him play for us if he doesn't really want to be here. The choice between a relatively unproven Scheids and a possibly very disinterested Luo is a no brainer.

Ummmm name calling is not necessary Spidey! I know we don't see eye to eye on the global warming issue but seriously, it's time to grow up dude.

I absolutely agree 100% If Luongo wants (needs) out, there is no choice to make. He's got a wife and kids... believe it or not, bigger responsibilities than playing hockey.

Lou stole all three victories against Boston in the Final...it's a shame when the only way you can win is if your goalie gets 3 shutouts in a a Stanley Cup Final...he got two.

Lou also stole Game 7 against Chicago, the team gets a PP in the final minutes of the game, up 1-0 and they can't even play keep away to ensure Chi doesn't get a chance - I thought the Canucks are suppose to be a puck possession team. Then he makes that save on Patrick Sharp - which I thought was a good save when I saw it live, but going back to you tube and seeing it again, it was a brilliant save up high with Sharp wide open in front of the net.

Tampa Bay scored 21 goals against Boston in 6 games, the Canucks scored 8 in 6 games (both were shutout in game 7) - Do the math.
