I'll say it again, if Schneider had a league average offense in front of him, he'd lead the league in wins and probably be considered the best goaltender in the league. Even if he had the 20th ranked offense in the league. Even if he had the 25th best offense in the league, we'd have a little breathing room in a playoff spot right now. With some margin for error, and not be afraid of the impending 3 game losing streak that seems to follow up every 3-4 game winning streak lately.
And I'd never have to read about how washed up guys like Pekka Rinne are better, because they had one good season in the last 4 years that wasn't even as good as Schneider's season that one good year. We'd be the laughing stock of the league if Rinne or a .905 goaltender played for this team. Probably last place in the entire league.
At least I haven't had to read a ''Should have signed Halak'' comment in a while. Put him or any of the cookie cutter goaltenders of the league on this team, guarantee we're battling to stay out of the bottom 3-5. Our goals against would probably still be respectable with an average guy in there, because we don't allow 800 shots a game like last year, but the offense is so terrible, we'd be in the bottom 3 or so.
