maybe the PK wouldnt be so bad if Luongo could stop a puck once in awhile.Its true the whole team was standing around in the 2nd period doing nothing..just a brutal effort .I think it all boils down to goaltending,the team comes out great ,hits everything in sight knocks 3 Kings senseless get a early lead,the momentum is on their side,going in for goal 2 and a stranglehold,outshooting LA 12-4 ,then bang,,its tied up 1-1 and the bench just deflates.here we go again..Luongo has to make a save or 10,not let in every 3 or 4th shot..I heard that a lot of media are calling for Raycroft to start game 4,but i would go off the charts and go with Schneider if you can call him up? thatll shake things up.
from what i saw last nite,we are in store for another interview of Gillis telling everyone why he didnt do anything to address the defence at the deadline.we will also see Luongo crying telling everyone he let his teammates down again.
First rd exit = Sedin trade in the off season,Luongo if you find a taker?
Character and willingness have as much to do with winning a cup as talent does and its becoming apparent that the Sedins are the Swedish Joe Thorntons.
Whever is in charge of the predictable PP and lame standstill PK should be fired on the spot after the season ends,is this Ryan Walter? i always hated that bible thumper
how about some bold moves by Vigneault/Gillis before this series is dead
1-anounce before game 4 that R.Luongo is no longer the Captain,Ryan Kesler is the new Captain for the rest of the season and the upcoming seasons
2-C.Schneider will take over the goaltending reins for tonite,and a decision will be made for game 5
3-Canucks have let Assistant coaches Walter and Bowness go..and replaced them with Smyl and Arniel
4-bench Demitra start Hordichuk and tell Darcy he needs to have atleast 8 hits by the end of the night
I guess I misunderstood this whole comment. It sound like you have given up and wanting to trade the Sedins before the 4th game was played.I'm sure if you check the stats you will notice the Sedins are heads and tail above the Sharks big flop line. The Sedins don't have to be the only line to score for the Canucks so they can't be blamed every time they lose.
I agree that Luongo has been pretty ordinary but I would take him over Nabokov or Varlomov. Of course you are entitled to your own opinion I just think you are jumping to conclusions too quick.
Yeah, benching Demitra would have been a great idea. What he needed was what he got from his coach. Been called out was a great move by coach V.
