Actually, Lou is NOT the better goalie, and there stats over the last 3 seasons prove it. There were no weak goals in Schneider's last 2 games . He got hung out to dry by inept defense. He got beat on great shots...it happens but he made the right moves. Nothing to panic about.! The team lost, Schneider is only part of the team.

A very gloomy staistic...it's odd,because his play (cycling the puck)seems as per usual..He has to get going.

at the end of the day Schneider played decent but couldn't come up with the save when it mattered.. it happens to all goalie so whatever.. on to the next game.. people are not going to remember all the saves you made.. all they will remember is the goals you let in.. This is Vancouver we are talking about after all no matter how good of a goalie u got Luongo or Schneider.. they will get picked apart by the fans and media and eventually run out of town.. here's an example.. what do ppl remember about the 2011 Chicago series?? not the sharpe save in game 7 ot.. but how he's responsible for losing 3 games while up 3-0 even though he didn't even start the 6th game people will still say he's the reason why they almost choked even though he stood on his head in game 7...

anyways play Schneider for detroit and chicago.. if he continues to struggle than switch to Luongo for the final 2.. whoever's performing better should start the playoff imo.. we have 2 equal caliber capable goalie.. if one is struggling you put the other in... you don't put your struggling goalie in just to make a statement... our windows is closing and we don't and can't afford to do it.

Actually the SO is dead in the playoffs. How a team does in the shootout has zero merit in the playoffs.

SO loss = SO loss

Playoffs = doesn't matter what the outcome of a shootout would be.

Mutually exclusive items = zero correlation.

Here's how the past stanley cup winners fared to show you how mutual exclusiveness works:

LA Kings (6W, 9L)

Boston (2W, 6L)

Chicago (9W, 6L)

Pittsburgh (6W, 6L)

Detroit (5W, 5L)

Anaheim (4W, 10L)

Carolina (8W, 2L)

Overall = 40W, 44L

As expected, the overall is ~50%, showing no correlation. The more years pass, the closer to 50% the number will go.

Thus, through the use of math (and common sense), how a team does in the shootout has no bearing on how said team does in the playoffs. A shootout win or a shootout loss means nothing when it comes to whether a team will win or lose in the playoffs. It is not "closer" to a loss, it is not anything.

That is what being a realist actually is.

Okay...you win...I give up...I'm glad the Canucks lost in a shoot out....have to make cheer I cheer for them to lose every time....

Oh...I guess if a team receives a penalty shot in OT in the playoffs, or a breakaway and they score - it doesn't count - right?

Well there you go - losing in the shootout in the regular season is basically the same as losing in OT in the playoffs from a breakaway and/or a penalty shot.

I believe someone here was trying to strike that point home all along. ;)
