Don't get me wrong, I like Schneider. But those are hardcore rookie goalie mistakes and you can't afford that shit game 7.

IMHO, Schneider is more mentally tough than Luongo. He has his whole career ahead of him, while Lu has 2 years of playoff failures and the pressure of Game 7. Excluding the goals, Schneids was technically sound throughout the game (can't fault him on the penalty shot either as it was a great move.) Puck handling is simply an issue of communication and you can work on that between now and tomorrow. Right now, it's all mental. This is why Schneids should play: he has none of the stigma associated with past years.
