We’re now three weeks into the season, and already there are some intriguing developments taking place between “starters” and their “backups” right now. For example, you could stab my eyes out with a plastic fork, but I’d still see the polarizations taking place between Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider advocates and fans.

What you thought three weeks ago was an invincible team has now been returned back to Earth with a thud.

Fantasy Impact: Vancouver has acquired winger David Booth from Florida in exchange for Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm.
