Schneider said, "It's been well documented that we...never...didn't get along...I think it wasn't us...poking at each other or complaining or whining..."

Schneider continued, "...It's. a good situation to be in...it was a big story, I think we both understood that...we just tried to go out there and push each other..."

The Schnieder-Luongo tandem went on for several seasons, and the media alluded to them disliking each other. The goalie tandem even poked fun at that in a TSN feature with James Duthie.



Schneider also appeared on another podcast, "Sekeres and Price," where he was asked if he felt Luongo deserved to have his jersey retired by the Canucks.
