I thought it should've and would've been Schneider getting the start as he's played very well, but I think we're pretty much guaranteed good goaltending regardless. I can't say I agree with Luongo getting the start, but I can't say I'm peeved he's in net. Both are great.

Maybe this is a game where Lu is being showcased; I would've thought for sure you go with Schneider and keep his hot streak going.

Or maybe it's just AV's coin. Who knows.

man get real. Every game he plays he, is a game to get showcased now? He played 5 games already against some good teams, played well....still not enough showcasing for a top goalie who has been in the league for over 10 years?

Bottom line is, we don't have a starter we got 2 clearly. Does saying he is being showcased is the reason for the start make you feel better?

I highly doubt it's a showcase game. I'm pretty sure teams know what Luongo can do.

My guess is the current plan is to keep both goalies fresh. Next week there are a bunch of games in not a whole lot of time so it's probably a good thing.

Granted the plan can change. It seems we've gone through:

1) Cory's the starter

2) Oh, crap we need wins so we better play Lu

3) Okay, we have a cushion. Let's give Schneider a few games to get his game back.

4) Cory has his game back? Okay, let's keep both goalies fresh.

Hey buddy, you're talking to somebody whose favourite goalie of all-time is Luongo. I'm not attacking him or anything. Luongo doesn't need you to get all butthurt and defend him over any comment that isn't praising him as a God.

Do you think it makes sense to give him the start when the gameplan this season has been ride the hot goalie for a while and Schneider's performed great in his consecutive starts? One rational explanation is that it might be a showcase game. It doesn't matter how established a player is in this league.
