If Lu plays great again tonight and CS35 gets lit up by the Hawks on friday, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of the gongshow that follows.

Is it possible Luongo just ran Cory Schneider over in a zamboni?

If that happens then I'm going to pretend it's the lockout again and avoid HB like it's herpes.

I don't think so. It's just about rewarding a guy who had a good game with another one. At the end of the season, Schmeider will have played more games than Lu, and he will be the guy in the playoffs. It's not a big deal right now.

Exactly, if I was a player I'd be more concerned if Schneider got the start. Players who are playing well should be rewarded and vice-versa. Contracts, trades, and etc should not have any effect and if it does then you're going to have some serious problems between your coaches and players. Look at Weise, Ballard and Tanev, all of them are being rewarded more ice time this year for better performance.

Fosco's in....but he might not be around for a few days.

Which is nice—I was getting sick of how defensive he was getting over Edler...

Because sitting your #1 never has a negative effect before on a Canuck goalie . What was the quote , oh yeah "I want to be traded" .It was said I think sometime around June.

If I was Schneider I would be in Gillis's office right now asking for a trade or I will let in every shot in games that you play me.

Then you wouldn't last very long, that's worse than Dany Heatley! This isn't the NBA(thank god!) where players dictate everything.

In that case we should trade Schneider . According to rewarding the players playing best.

I agree if I was AV I would give him another start after the game he played in LA. If his team throws him under the bus again. We will see a trade very soon after. They play different with him in net. Is it becoming a locker room issue?

I don't understand how you came to that conclusion from my post, but okay. I didn't suggest trading away players based on the first 5 games, if anything I'm suggesting that fans are overreacting based on such a small sample size.

Imo i would take cory over lu cuz he is younger and i believe cory plays better in when the game is on the line...
But if we can get a star or good top 6 forward by trading cory, im all in

I couldn't make that decision. Which ever one gives you the best return but if one wants out you have to get rid of him as soon as possible because no matter how well said player is dealing with it is still a cancer in the room and the only way to treat it by cutting it out.

Im down for trading either one of them. All I ask is for a top six forward in return and Im happier than a pig in shyt

Shouldn't CS as a #1 be given the same rope as Lou did as a starter to work out his game ? At times the last few years when Lou struggled he was given a lot of slack to find his game , I'm sure hope CS is given the same .

The point is our goalies have been our two best players. People saying Luongo deserves the start over CS blows my mind.

Did Edler or Garrison pass the puck right in front of the net onto an ongoing opponent for Luongo?

Our Defense has sucked .We need help ,and Kesler nor Booth, will sove those giveaways and blind passes.

Again tradable asset can get you a D . Sitting him on the bench gets you media coverage

Cody's career has benifited .He is top line Buffalo instead of 10 minutes AV doghouse.'

Your goalies have been 1a and 1b and it doesn't matter who starts they are both very
good or as you say maybe your best players

The trouble with that is one good player is on the bench wearing a ball cap every game.Unless you can trade CS it will continue to be that way because I have come to believe Lu had vetoed a trade with several teams and the 2 teams he wants to play for will not take the contract on.

Lu will play and beat a horrible Col team tonight and CS will start against the Hawks who are due to lose a few games

Just hope it's not Friday night

I agree with most but I believe LU will get the start against the Hawks too. LU has had very good numbers against the Hawks in regular season.
