If you're a good coach you do... AV was never able to. So glad he's gone.

This one is pretty slick too, but I'm not sure I love it. It's like the old one on acid.

When I'm talking about top goalies in nhl yes , if schnieder plays 65-70 games next year and is at the top of the league in goalie stats ill come on here and say I was wrong and he is too 5 but until he does that there are guys like Lundquist, quick, Rask , Niemi , broduer, rinne , backstrom , smith , miller who have done that
- Redmile247


Brodeur? Backstrom? Miller? Seriously??? I'd take Schneider in a heartbeat over each of them. I'm also still not sold on Smith having consistency for more than a season (or 2) especially if he leaves Phoenix. I would absolutely put Schneider in the same league as Rask. Probably the best comparison available.

Those were more examples of goalies who at some point were or are considered top 5 while playing more then 30 games

You know what? You guys are actually a solid group of dudes compared to some of those ass clowns in the Rags' blog.

whats the possibility of Gillis going after FA Lcavalier once he's bought out? Him and Torts kinda got a connection.

Wouldn't look to bad on the thrd line........................

3rd line?!? It'd give us the best top 6 in the league.

Something must be holding up a Luongo trade. How else do you explain him not being traded yet? Bettman has always hated the Canucks, he's probably holding up any trades involving Luongo.

I think he would be a great fit for 3rd line centre who can fill in on the 1st or 2nd line from time to time.

1. He won't sign here to be a 3rd liner.
2. He'd be wasted with Higgins & Hansen.

Put him out there with Kesler and we have 2 1st lines.

According to Ek's "team source" the Canucks are now in "panic mode" trying to move Lu

I see, it's more rewarding when you do the work yourself, but that has never stopped me from absconding with a file or two from the interweb.

Because players don't play in the playoffs unless they're 100%??? He didn't even dress as a backup in games 1 and 2 yet two days later he's 100%???

But if Lu=Schneider, then why play an injured goalie when you have a guy who is equal to your #1 healthy on the bench?
A position player playing a little banged up is a little different than a goalie playing banged up...

Is your point that AV is an idiot? Cause if it is then we're glad you agree with the rest (mostly anyways) of us.

In all fairness he did post "a team source" not a source from the Canucks. It could have been the goaltender for his beer league. One of the guys on my team called Dion for Letang +. Book it. C5,
