Hope you are right Pippen. Lu has become a head case. Needs to see one of them sports psychos. What was all the cluster stuff behind the net on 2nd goal. He's got no business out of the net...didn't he learn anything from last seasons behind the net debacles. 3 goals on 4 shots...sick. No wonder why he broke his stick over the boards at the bench....reason enough to sit him.
Hey searun....I am no Lou fan at all; haven't been seen day 1 that he came here but at this point in the season he isn't going anywhere.
I agree that he just looks completely out of place some nights between the pipes. Add to that....he gets rattled easy and unfortunately the guys in front of him seem to know that. In saying that though....the Nucks showed some character last season in all the games they came back to win after Lou would let in an early goal or two.
He smashed his stick as he's no doubt frustrated and I can't say I can blame him; he is struggling (as he always does in Oct) and it doesn't have your home fans having booed you in your 4th game. I do have to agree though that he had no business behind the net on that 2nd goal.
My question I haven't been able to find out is "if" he changed his goalie coach again; he did 2 seasons ago if I recall correctly..or it may have been prior to last season. He seems to be playing a bit different in the pipes and he's not doing himself any favours.
Now....given some of what has gone as of late; Vancouver defense and play in their end has not been doing him a ton of favours. Twas a nice goal by the young kids on the 2nd goal.....but who the fawk had Eberle that he was left wide open with 5 of our own players in the zone.
Thank god for Luongo though now...........everyone isn't talking about Sidney all the time anymore.
The thing I am just tired of is the "trade him"....."trade him", over and over. I too would love it if we could make a deal but reading and hearing the same thing every single day is getting a bit tired. Given his history of slow starts I wouldn't bank on that happening anytime soon; and given his contract it's going to be a TOUGH one to move. I am just being a realist as a hockey fan......let's all just agree he has NOT been on his game at all this season but if he turns it around and the Nucks gone on a hot streak like last year everyone is going to be loving LOUUUUU.
I like Schneider as much as anyone but can he handle playing 60+++ games in a season; given we may not really have anyone in our system to back him up. Eddie Lack....or Climie who has played something like 6 games at the NHL level?
All I am saying is listening to all of the "haters"......don't hold your breath for a blockbuster trade this early in the season; and given his contract....don't hold your breath period.
