He'll probably have a great first 15 games, go something like 12-2-1 then really start to stumble.

Young goalies don't deal well with fatigue because they've never been exposed to it before. The first 25 games out of an 82 game schedule followed by 20+ more is comparatively nothing.

I'd rather he play well in the last 25 games of the season than the first.

So your saying 60 games in the AHL is different then in the NHL? interesting clearly the only difference is the players, their skill level and the speed of the game. Cory plays with alot of poise in the net, which loungo looks unsure about his saves. You dont see Cory looking behind him as much as loungo to see if the puck has trickled in the net.

Schneider has put in his time in the AHL(136 reg. season, 34 playoffs), which believe it or not, is a very high level of pro hockey.

His numbers on the Moose overall were excellent, and he even won three rounds in the playoffs to make the Finals.

Combine that with Schneider's 68 NHL starts. That's more than enough experience to tell me that he's ready for full time NHL hockey. They aren't starting an 18 year old rookie with no pro experience here boys. He was able to beat the LA Kings once in the playoffs, they only lost like 5 games all post season. Give credit where it is due.

All NHL starters have started at zero. There's no reason right now to think Cory will not soon be among them.
