Schneider just has a hot hand. Ride it of course, but he is not a .999 goalie. Nobody is. Luongo is The Man, and needs to step up when it's his turn. Because you won't want to depend on Schneider when the inevitable cool streak comes along.
Unless he really is another Jimmy Howard... But you can't tell just yet.
Most importantly of all, the Canucks are actually playing well against these teams. Kesler is going, Burrows is going, hell even Booth has scored a few, and Daniel is finding goals as well. To me THAT is more important than Schneider's outstanding numbers. |
to be honest, im more surprised the canucks let the bluejackets get off 48 shots to begin with. thats gotta speak about our team a bit..
tsn interview with bieksa was funny.
"are you concerned about the number of shots cory had to face tonight?"
"no no, how is he gonna get another game if he's sitting back there with 10-15 shots in the net. ask him, he was 40, 50. it's good for his stats and good for his confidence."
