[quote name='thingsfallnapart']not playing Corey Schneider in game 4 on the road to rest Luongo was the biggest mistake possible. All season they talked about resting Luongo more so he was stronger and healthier for every game, and when they had the rite chance to do it up 3-0 Alain Balked at the idea.
What would be so wrong even if you lose game 4 with Schneider you still have a well rested Luongo at home waiting. It's clearly obvious he is wearing down as the series goes on.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't make sense to rest Luongo though. He's played only 65 games this year and you absolutely need to ride your starter in the playoffs. If he's already tired then we're doomed anyways. Besides, I know he hasn't been playing very well lately, but it's an entire team failure that has given the Hawks some life.
What frustrates me so much is how the Canucks keep saying the right things, but then go out and lay a
ing egg in front of their home crowd. They'd better put up a fight in games 6 and possibly 7 but even if we do win this series, I don't even know if I can feel good about our chances of going far anymore.
I don't mind losing when my team leaves everything on the ice, but when my team just vanishes and I start to question their effort levels, it is pretty unforgivable.
I'm just completely frustrated but I have to tip my hat to the Hawks. They are showing up. Especially Keith. His play of late is downright inspiring.
