Your number 1 goalie is supposed to give you the best chance of winning. If the coach starts Schneider and the Canucks lose, the coach is probably going to get fired. Everyone will be second guessing why the better goalie didn't start the most important game of the season.
If you put in your best goalie and he loses the most important game of the season then there is more proof that Luongo is not the answer and you can make a move.
If Luongo starts, win or lose, there will be no questions for next season (He is either a savior or trade bait). If we start Schneider and Canucks lose, there will be lot more questions than answers for next season about how Luongo would have made a difference.
Hehe, I say, give him a chance to be a hero or a zero.
LOL. I just read some of the above comments. Not sure why all the hate. He seems like a nice guy.
