Schnieder to start tomorrow

Huge game for Schneider, this is the first time he's really been designated as an NHL starter and the first time we'll get to see how he bounces back from a bad game.

Last season he played 7 in a row and bombed out big time against Nashville, then played the next game against Columbus and got shelled there too. Hopefully he's matured a bit more since then and can put a bad game behind him.

If Schneider plays badly against Calgary (3+ goals against) it's not just 2 bad games in a row, it shows us that this guy cannot mentally restart. We need a goalie who doesn't put up 2 bad games in a row - do that in the playoffs and the seasons over. Luongo is probably the best in the league at mentally restarting and posting a great game after a bad game which is why he's so inconsistent, but that's how you win in the post-season.

Honestly, a bad game from Schneider against Calgary and MG better hold off on all Luongo trade talks for a while, at least until the kid can prove himself under the pressure of a starting position.

i understand it was the first game of the season and his first action in a few weeks since he came back from the lockout.. but i don't understand how ppl can say he's mentally tough as a rock and he probably had a bad game because it was the home opener and he was jittery nervous in the same arguement?? if he's mentally solid then he shouldn't be nervous about the first game of the season?? anyways hope he does well since he's going to be the future of the franchise regardless of what happens.

it's also sad to see because now that the club committed fully to Schneider.. he doesn't have to care about his performance as much.. as there's no goalie behind him to push or challenge him..
