Price, Fleury, and Bryzgalov btw were all excellent tonight though two of them lost.
Anybody that drafted Ward (or Bryzgalov, for that matter) as a top 10 goalie is getting what they deserve. Ward has been an exceptionally bad fantasy goalie for most of his career, I don't get why people think that is magically going to change. This is the wrong place for another Cam Ward rant, I suppose...
Cam Ward, exceptionally bad? No. Overrated? Yes. Same as Schneider. People were just expecting too much. There's always an adjustment when a guy becomes a starter. He has to change his body, his mind and his daily routine as well. Schneider will be ok once the Nucks are fully healthy but he's no top 5 fantasy tender just yet.

The man has a career 2.74 GAA and .910 S%. Totals which he pretty much replicated last season. That's pretty terrible.
Anyway, I think Schneider will be fine. Lots of pressure on him tonight, and that's putting it lightly. Once Luongo is dealt he'll probably be able to relax a bit more. Expectations will still be pretty high, but at least the fans won't be clamoring for Luuuuu to regain the reins. Also, it's only one game. One period, actually.
Had Schneider and Quick in nets for an H2H matchup last night... ouch
Without me, it's only "aweso".
and the Schneider hype comes crashing down like a ton of bricks!...5 goals on 14 shots ouch! And at home...and to a team that finished at the bottom of the conference last year.
