RT @patersonjeff: Luongo admits he's itching to play and says he's preparing as if he might get a start in back to backs this weekend

- VANTEL


So Schneider plays saturday (obviously)... then they start Luongo against a young star studded Oilers team who've been playing together all year in the minors... not to mention the Canucks will have played the night before...

Luongo's stock would take a serious hit, not a chance he plays against Edmonton.

FFS I hope he's not that bad. Parent didn't even belong in the AHL by the end of last season.

He's not much better, that's for sure.

It makes you wonder

A) Is he being moved
B)Can we insult him and put the new guy in his spot
C) ruin his contract year on him

- VANTEL


D) They need one of Garrison or Edler to play the right side since Ballard failed miserably. They gave Edler first shot.

You would think it would be the other way. I do know why though . Garrison has the big shot from the left. Sounds like he will be the trigger man.

Really? I'm not worried about protecting Luongo from high scoring teams, that's what we've been doing with Schneider these last few years until like the second half of last year. Luongo has always been the workhorse goalie and started the tough games. His trade value won't fluctuate on a game by game basis, GM's aren't like us fans.

They've probably tried them both at practice and figure that Edler can adjust better since he has more skill. On the PP I definitely expect Garrison to line up on his off-side to fire those one timers like Salo used to. Garrison did play the right side at Florida and I recall that Edler played a bit on the right side in his first season.

Exactly, but it could change if he goes on a shutout streak. He if wants out make him play for it.

Luongo has been protected at every opportunity. He never plays in Minnesota because he's got a bad record there???? AV has always made sure Luongo didn't get "let down games", they always put Schneider in for these games.

Why do we have so many defensemen now? Is Edler getting dealt?

I'm not saying he wasn't protected, but it wasn't every opportunity. He played both road games in Chicago.

It looks like you photoshopped the cup out of the image...

EDIT - PS, does that mean you won't watch the supra bole, or whatever you guys call it?
