The Vancouver Canucks has decided to go with Cory Schneider in the net for Game 3.

Schneider replaces Roberto Luongo in net in their first round match up with the Los Angeles Kings. The Canucks made the switch in an attempt to avoid a 0-3 start to the eighth-seeded Kings.

Luongo lost both games 4-2 at home, however, head coach Alain Vigneault claims the losses were not on Luongo. Schneider has five playoff appearances in his career, which all came last year in his first NHL postseason experience.

Schneider went 20-8-1 this season with a 1.96 goals-against average as Luongo’s backup.

What Happened??! Canucks vs Kings Game 3 Preview

Via Rob The Hockey Guy  |  April 14, 2012
I think the whole city of Vancouver is wondering what in the world is happening to our beloved Canucks right now. It’s been a long time since we have seen the Canucks start a playoff series 2-0 (11 years in fact). The Canucks do not look like a powerhouse team whatsoever. They look like a team that has lost all confidence in two games. So what happened? Well, in game 2 the Canucks...

Vancouver Canucks fans wonder if a four win comeback is possible

Can they still beat the LA Kings? The numbers are daunting. Only three teams in history, out of 167 opportunities, have recovered from a three games to none deficit in the Stanley Cup finals. That is a pathetic winning comeback rate of just 1.8%. So, then it must certainly be time to write the eulogy for this Vancouver Canucks team, should it not? Not so fast. Quite clearly the...

from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province, Because of his long tenure enjoyed as head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, it might be a useful exercise to mount something of a defence for Alain Vigneault after another season whereby it looks all but certain his team is going to come to another crashing, miserable end in the NHL playoffs.
