There’s never a dull day in the season, albeit a shorten one, following the Vancouver Canucks hockey team. Today, we find out that Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider will not start tomorrow night because of an undisclosed injury.

I got to thinking the other day about the similarities of this current Canucks team to the 2006/07 version. Granted they have more than one scoring line as the 2006/07 version really only had the Sedins, Markus Naslund along with Brendan Morrison.
