Pre-Game Talk: GM 1: Vancouver Canucks vs. Anaheim Ducks - Jan 19 - 7:00PM PST - CBC

[Jyrki]

Anyone else hoping to see Schneid's get lit up by the Ducks and then Luongo shutout the Oilers?

Can't we hope for B2B shutouts instead?

Anaheim fan?

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

I don't hope for Schneid's to ''fail'', but the devil in me wants to see the epic controvery that would ensue, thats all.

 

[Zombotron]

Who's excited for that first GDT?

 

[CM-]

Yeah, I find it very, very pitiful.

Well in his defence (and I doubt this is the case) but I root against the Sedin's because it seems more often then when I do this they play super great

 

[VanCanucks53]

What an odd mentality to have. Why get so entrenched in your preconceived story-lines that you wish for something to the detriment of the team you root for?

Exactly.

 

[Samzilla]

Clearly we've all been talking to too many Toronto fans in the Lu trade threads. Their "stop winnin' for mackinnon" and "we want to tank, we'll get a first overall and then just snag an elite UFA goalie during free agency, easy game" mantras are starting to become contagious.

I promise you it has nothing to do with you, you can sit back and relax.

You clearly don't come here often, do you?

You ****ing serious?

 

[Rotang]

It's been a few years since I've posted regularly. I'm a bitter vet of the Sedin linemate jihads of yore, so I'm no stranger to message board circle-jerks.

Still find the mindset puzzling. Then again, it may just be a psychological consequence of enduring Canuck fandom for so many years.

 

[Edo]

Cheering against Schneider to counterweight the unearned hate that Luongo gets from some of the fans in Vancouver. To balance the karma our two goaltenders get.

When Schneider earns that #1, I'll support him 100%.

 

[LiquidSnake]

A lot of jealous GFs of the backup Highschool QB

 

[me2]

Shutouts for both pls.

 

[CCF23]

Why can't we just cheer for our goalies? Why must we always vilify one?

 

[stevecanuck16]

I think you're selling Canucks fans short here. I think we'll vilify both.

Yep, Schneider is the darling right now but the moment he has two bad games in a row the sharks will start circling.

nah it will take a playoff failure before that happens.

 

[Win One Before I Die]

i wouldn't be opposed to splitting luongo and schneider down the middle this year and moving luongo in the offseason. ride the hot goaltender.

 

[YogiCanucks]

Why? If there is no goalie contraversy the media will continue to talk about one until they create one.

 

[Spectrefire]

You!

 

[Smokey McCanucks]

So if the lines are Raymond-Ebbett-Kassian and Higgins-Lapierre-Hansen, which one of those is the second line and which is the third? Cause one seems clearly superior to me and it ain't Ebbett's line.

Raymond-Schroeder-Kassian will be the second line.

Unless Vigneault has a ******* anuerism.

 

[Taelin]

It better be Schroeder. Brings out the best in MayRay too, which can never hurt.
