GDT: Yotes @ Canucks - 7:00PM PST, SNET-P

[tantalum]

Sucks as the effort has been there from the large majority of the roster. They have certainly made some terrible mistakes but I don't think they've made 5 goals worth of mistakes. Canucks never even had a chance to win with this play by the goaltender.

AV has to learn to give Luongo the hook when he's struggling. Quit looking at the goal differential and saying we're 2 goals behind I won;t pull him until the difference is 3. He's been bad. Put the ginger in net.

And Raymond needs to be in the press box. As long as he was doing something in the defensive and neutral zones I was OK with his struggles. Now the rest of his game is going to shit. Time to get him out.

[tantalum]

What a display of goaltending tonight. Smith has been beaten 4 times for goals and at least 3 other times for posts/crossbars. and Roberto....

Roberto....the team got you 4 goals (so far) tonight. Hang your head.

[clem]

Bieksa looks like he has a hang over.

[Strangelove]

I could see Raymond getting parked in the post season with other options ( Reinprecht???, Bitz ) getting the nod over him.

Would like to see Bitz back with the big club.

Take out Ray and put in Bitz for a game and see how it goes!

Bitz was #1 CENTRE for the Wolves in their last game.

Barring a miracle, no doubt he replaces Raymond in the lineup come playoffs.

There is not a Canuck roster spot available for him right now though.

He needed to work himself into top shape with big minutes on the Wolves so it's all good.

Glad everyone hates Raymond now.

I always have.

Hell even RD doesn't defend him anymore!

Roberto....the team got you 4 goals (so far) tonight. Hang your head.

Even with all the time off to rest and relax. :shakeshead:

[tantalum]

I usually give AV the benefit of the doubt but why the hell is Raymond out with the net empty?

[clem]

You're a mind reader.

[cjc]

The Sedin-Sedin-Raymond experiment should end here. Right now.

What does it take for Ginger to get in net?

I need more wine.

[clem]

On the bright side - the Pahlsson trade looks brilliant.

Sit Raymond, start Schneider, free Ballard.

[RoyalDude]

So, I see Mason '2.5 Million Dollars' Raymond single-handedly lost the game for us tonight again. Sheesh

Wrong, I just find it quite laughable how y'all blame him for everything that is wrong in Canuckland. I get a kick out of Tantalum and his angry 'blame every loss on Raymond' postings

[tantalum]

Sit Raymond, start Schneider, free Ballard.

Ballard is still in la la land with his head. He has started skating but has not been cleared for contact. And there is no way they can fit him under the cap anyways.

RD did you see the game? Or the games the last little bit? Raymond is out to lunch and needs some time up top to figure his game out. Also I'm pretty sure in a 5-4 game I put 3 goals solely on Luongo. Pretty clear where I put the blame tonight for the loss. But Raymond sure as hell ain't helping right now and is the worst of the top 9 forwards by a very large margin the last number of games.

There are two guys that have no business being in the lineup next game....Luongo and Raymond. I'd say Bieksa as well but that would mean Rome. And despite his faults Bieksa is better than Rome.
