kesler had a pretty good game, till he got that roughing penalty

luongo was very good

too many giveaways, and the most im portant of all 'still', no power play, it is horrible, they must
look up the meaning of power play in the dictionary, then start over.

the kings are still the better team, and deserved the win.

two short handed goals is unnacceptable, so the canucks have lots of problems right now, and not much
time to sort them all out.

edler gets too panicky, I thought he had grown out of that, as it was apparent when he was very young,
but he definitely is too 'tight' in games like this, and can't think well.

henrik had a good game, but canucks still don't have a number one line like l.a. does, and that number one
line for the kings is very very good, and canucks can't match it.

If it continues like the first two games, then the writing is on the wall.

Maybe when they get to l.a. it will all turn around, wishfull thinking, yep.

the officiating was much better tonight.

maybe they will play schneider next game, but if they do, it is only 'just because' to see if it shakes
up the team, but luongo has not been part of the problem at all, he has kept them in the games, and
given them a chance to win, but they couldn't do that.

Luongo was ok but Schneids stops their second and fourth goals (and probably first and third).

He was good but still not good enough.

i guess if you wanted him to steal the game for his team, then in your eyes he wasn't good enough.
he was as good as ne needed to be to give his team the room to win the game, it was the team that
was poor, and don't have a power play, don't have a top line, don't have solid defense, and giveaway the puck to much, don't have enough offense to score enough goals to win the game.

if the canucks have to depend of their goalie to win playoff games, they shouldn't be winning, they should
step aside and let another team move on, who can score goals, and has a power play, and doesn't do giveaways,
etc, it is a team game, not a goalie game.

i guess if you wanted him to steal the game for his team, then in your eyes he wasn't good enough.
.

When the l.a. team got a penalty late in the game, my daughter said, "They did that on purpose, they want to
score on our power play again." lol

Schieds is coming in to win this series in 6. How do you put Luongo back in after that?

Schneider is good, but it's not a reason to treat Lu like sh*t when he's playing well. :smile:
He can't move from one side of the net to the other. At least not at the speed required to play goal above bantom hockey.

tell me how schneider can fix their power play.

i'm sure schneider will play the next game, but he won't be going in because
luongo didn't play well, that is being blind to the big picture.
they will play schneider just to shake up the team, and because he should
get a couple of games, they might be the last two of the season.
If schneider plays both games, and they win, it isn't automatic that he will
continue playing, it depends how the games were played. If he had to steal
the games, he will continue playing.

if the team had played well, they would have won both games, and nothing to
do with the play of luongo.

You have to take a look at all of the problems on the team, away of the goal,
right now, and to hang it on luongo at this point, is being blind to reality.

Time for Roberto to find another line of work, these clowns don't deserve to win.
Of course I am happy to see them lose, I don't like the Kings its just I like them
a lot better than the Canucks. The whine and complain and they have no one
who can really stand and fight.

The powerplay can't play goal either.

I always wonder about pitiful people who love to see others suffer, a very sad way to live.

they could certainly support their goalkeeping by scoring a goal once in a while, that is their
job, and this team's powerplay is a total failure, and has been for quite a while.
Maybe they can decline the penalties or have Luongo play forward.
