Schneider has also put up the highest aggregate sv% in the league in the last 3 seasons:

And finally, he also has the highest career sv% in the history of the NHL up to the age of 27. Obviously that's not era adjusted, but it's still indicative of just how good he's been.

Comparing Schneider to Cloutier makes about as much sense as comparing Rask to Byron Dafoe. Just an illogical comparison based on nothing but what team they play for with a dash of wishful thinking.
Keep consoling yourself with his stats.

He's 1-4 in the playoffs and has yet to win 'the big game'.
