I blame Eddie Lach. I mean, if the Stork hadn't got injured, he'd be our back-up, and we could return to the heady days of the late 90's again, where we are pining to have our backup in net after every goal. With two #1's you can't cheer to have "The other #1 guy" brought in. Even after 6, 8 beers it still doens't work. Man, we had some good draft years back then. Beer that is, not players.Hockey Widow wrote:This controversy sucks doesn't it. I mean the biggest problem we have today is trying to figure out which number one gets the start.
Todd Bersnoozi wrote:"I'm tired of playing like an average goalie" Cory Schneids. Boy, I just hope Schneids is not putting all the pressure on himself. It's good to strive to be the best he can be, but if he puts all the pressure on his shoulders, it could be too much and crush his will and devastate his career. Vancouver is known to be a goalie graveyard and we have seen goalies in the past where the pressure just got to them and they were never ever able to reach their potential. In the past, Lou was the #1 and he carried most of the pressure, Schneids just filled in whenever, no pressure on him. Now that he is supposidly the top dog, it's a whole different game. I just hope Schneids doesn't take it too seriously. Just go out there, give it his all, but have fun and remind himself in the end that it's just a game.

short term okay but long term not okayTodd Bersnoozi wrote:Yes, he's being paid A LOT of money and it is a big business for sure, but it's still just a game. If his team wins, he makes his hometown/employer happy, but in the end it doesn't make their lives much better or worst.

It still amazes me the amount of knickers knotted on here over a business that no one owns any stock in.Todd Bersnoozi wrote:Yes, he's being paid A LOT of money and it is a big business for sure, but it's still just a game.

Reminds me of many Appleheads out there....
It is not a sport, it is a money maker (for everyone outside of Arizona). The players are paid to play hard ('roids) through pain (pain inhibitors/against better judgement) and anything else.
There is not much loyalty, except maybe the fans. Trades are transfers, as in business franchises. Demotions to the minors are cubicles, not the corner office.
Playoffs = Payoffs for the owners
Do the players love what they do? Endorphins are very addictive as is coffee and beer for the the office worker. Not to mention your big pay check.
Do you think they make movies to make the fans happy about winning an Academy Award?
You want sport? Go see a Jr. or College game, maybe....better yet, go play it yourself...
