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.

Last nights Canucks 2-1 shoot-out victory over the Blue Jackets, was more than just a come from behind win. It displayed a whole lot of positive signs that had been missing for the last 12 games. First of all, they were playing one of the hottest teams in the NHL and to come from a goal [...]

Let me see now, Roberto Luongo, the backup goaltender, just posted a 3-0 shut-out last night, has allowed only two goals against in the last two games, sports a 1.61 GAA, .938 save percentage, and looks like he’s entering the zone that I have witnessed many times since 2006.
