is it safe to say that Luongo is in the doghouse?

Schneider starts again, and he's looked less than stellar in his last 5 outings. Also, in that article about the player only meeting, no quotes from Luongo and Schnedier was the one talking to media

Feel so bad for Luongo. He needs to be treated better. Just trade him already.

I don't think we will see Luongo in net any time soon. When's the next back to back?

Luongo always gets ventilated in Minnesota so Schneider has to start today.

Having trouble getting excited about this game. Is it just me or does this have snoozer written all over it?

So according to Dan Sedin (via passittobulis twitter) the players-only meeting was less than 5 minutes. Casual kev must have been leading this one. :sarcasm:

I dunno, this is one of the most meaningful games this year, I'm excited to see if we will show up

I'm calling at least 2 fights today, and Koivu takes some sort of dumb penalty and the Canucks score on the powerplay.

This is going to be a feisty game and should be really entertaining, win or lose.

I reckon they were just deciding where they wanted to go for dinner, and coaches aren't invited to that dinner. Oh well.

I'd imagine there's only so many ways one can say - "We've kind of sucked lately. How about we actually work hard for a full 60 minutes?"

Hopefully they can do that today, snoozer or not. Hoping for a big game from Schroeder to get AV off his back - same for Ballard.

Just speculation but do any of you nuck fans think the Luongo/Schneider situation is slowly causing some division in the dressing room.

I know to outsiders Luongo seems to be handling this well. But could there be any possibility of favourtism amongst teamates? And if so could this be contributing to the inconsistant play?

Just a thought from a non-nuck fan and only that - so no hate please :)

Well neither goalie is being allowed to get into a long term groove, so I'd say yeah, the situation is clearly causing a problem. That said, the goalies IMO are not the core problem out there, so some of that is a reflection of deeper issues.

We'll see if they can sort it out...

We have no idea, the dressing room seems to be pretty tight-lip about the whole thing (for obvious reasons). We would be kidding ourselves if we think everything is just perfect inside the lockerrom, but no one outside the dressing room knows how high the goalie tension is, and how the rest of the team is reacting

From the sounds of AV, I might need to change from "Schredda and MayRay" to "Schredda and the Pressbox" :(

hopefully he gets a chance with booth and Kassian tonight

I truly think the media, and fans, are sensationalizing the whole ordeal and exaggerating the effects of the supposed controversy, but who know, maybe it is a big deal in the room. Maybe Schneider resents Luongo and the Canucks cause he expected to have the job this year and had definitely paid his dues to et it. :dunno:

I agree. Also, I'm sure some players are worried that they might be part of a goalie trade package.

surely Schroeder would not play on the fourth line in front of his family and friends......AV should be smart enough to give third line minutes!
