Start Luongo with a very short leash.
Would you start Luongo in the playoffs? Or would you run with Schneider who has been out playing Luongo for a while now?

Start Luongo with a very short leash.
Too early to tell. If he's still playing the way he is now, then it would be a prolonged slump. So, I'd play Schneider. That said, he'll likely snap out of it so I'd start Luongo but keep him on a short leash as well.
I would also start Schneider more than they did last year to keep Luongo fresh. Playoff minutes are much harder than regular season minutes.
Luo will be the go-to starter in the playoffs, but he will have a far shorter leash than he did in the past. Even at his highest level of play, when he blows up, he does so epically. Every attempt will be made to avoid those embarassing and demoralizing landslides.
It's funny...
Stud goalies have had a rough going these past two weeks.
Rinne, Luongo, Thomas, Lundquist, Quick, Price (2.36, 3.97, 3.74, 3.15, 2.77, 2.96.) Highest save % being Price at 915, and a lot of 800's among the bunch.
