While that may be true, the sample size for Schneider is way smaller. He has allowed three goals on nine attempts, and if I remember correctly, all three goals were in the first game against the Leafs a couple years ago? That's why he's 2-1 in shootouts so far.
Luongo has a much bigger sample size... he has allowed 65 goals in 195 attempts. That's big enough to assume that is his true rate, whereas we don't know what it would be for Schneider. Who knows, Schneider could very well be a much better shootout goalie and increase his percentage significantly over the long term.
