interesting reads in Friedman's column today
10. Huge season for Cory Schneider. Clearly showed he's ready for a No. 1 job. Asked him when he felt "the breakthrough moment." He said it was in the exhibition season, following an 8-2 loss to Edmonton. "I was thinking, 'Here we go again.' But Rollie (Melanson) met with me, showed me everything that went wrong because I was too far out of the net. The next game, I won 3-1 [against San Jose]. That's when I realized I was ready."
11. Schneider added that you sit on the bench (or watch on TV) and think, "How am I going to stop a Dany Heatley shot?" Then, you get in a game, actually do it a few times and gain real confidence. He does admit, with a laugh, that RJ Umberger still owns him. Luongo, sitting next door, said his killer is Tim Jackman.
12. With Luongo starting Tuesday night in Edmonton, Schneider may not get the 25 appearances necessary for the Jennings Trophy. Unless, of course, Alain Vigneault does what Lou Lamoriello did to prevent Mike Dunham from hitting free agency: put Schneider in two games - for about 30 seconds each.
does it actually work for that too? hmmm.
