Roberto Luongo to start vs. Blues

No surprise here. It was expected that Lu would get the start after Schnied's less then stellar play last night.

What I am surprised about is the people saying that if Lu played last night we would have won. With all things being equal, sure, but they're people not robots. It would have been an entirely different game with Lu in there. We could have went down 3 nothing in the first period or won 5-0, who's to say? Obviously the game dynamic is different with a different goalie. Lu and Corey have different styles and make different decisions on the same play thus influencing the outcome of a game. Lu may have played a puck that Corey decided to freeze negating a defensive zone face off and Lu may have played a puck to the right corner that Corey played to the left corner, thus changing the entire outcome of the game. The bottom line is that Dallas may not have scored as many goals as they did if Lu was in net instead of Corey but we may not have scored as many goals either because it would have been a completely different game with the different keeper in net.
