Vancouver's Goalie Controversy

Found February 06, 2013 on BruinsLife: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Cory Schneider,  Roberto Luongo
TEAMS: Vancouver Canucks,  Boston Bruins,  Montreal Canadiens

It looks like Luongo will get the starts in Vancouver Now your probably reading this and saying why is this on a Bruins blog?  The answer is because I, like most Bruins fans despise the Canucks and all their antics after that 7 game Stanley Cup finals, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a team I hate so much having a bunch of problems.  At the start of the short season there was all sorts of speculation that the Canucks were going to move forward with Massachusetts native Cory Schneider and ship Roberto Luongo. Now they are in a debacle. The stats are as follows, Schneider has a 2-2 record with a 3.13 Goals Against Average, and a .897 save percentage. Pretty bad for a goalie that the Canucks wanted to move forward with. Luongo's stats are as follows, 3-0-2 with a 1.53 Goals Against Average and a .940 save percentage. Luongo has looked like the vintage Luongo, but will he hold up? Currently the Canucks stand at 5-2-2, currently leading their "weak" division ...

It's getting awkward in Vancouver

Via Fox Sports  |  February 05, 2013
Roberto Luongo made his fourth consecutive start Monday night for the Vancouver Canucks. Any other year, that would be nothing of note. But given the offseason the Canucks went through, it's a bit head-scratching. The Canucks seemed all but committed to Cory Schneider after giving the former backup a three-year contract extension worth $12 million. The secondary move, after...

Canucks save goal of the week for bitter rivals The Vancouver Canucks split their four games this past week with wins over the Avalanche and Blackhawks, leaning on surprise starter Roberto Luongo to backstop the team to victory.

The Best in Blue / Jan. 27-Feb.3 The Vancouver Canucks season is in full swing now, no more trailing off conversations regarding the lockout or what transpired in months past. It’s full on hockey time, and Bobby Lu looks more ready than ever. The Canucks started last week in disappointing shootout loss fashion. But after that heartbreaking loss to the Kings, Vancouver got some...

Cory Schneider’s Agent On The Vancouver Goalie Situation

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 05, 2013
from Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun, Just like his client, the agent for goalie Cory Schneider is not about to criticize the Vancouver Canucks for the team's handling of its goaltending situation. But Mike Liut, himself a former goalie, clearly hopes the uncertainty regarding a possible trade of Roberto Luongo does not hang over the team and Schneider all season. ...

Ian Esplen: Ryan Kesler's Butt

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 05, 2013
Follow me on twitter @IanEsplen to chat hockey, sports and life in general anytime Through nine games so far, it appears that the absence of one player's anatomy has left a glaring hole in the roster. That piece of anatomy is: Ryan Kesler's butt. So far this year the Canucks power-play has been pretty ordinary without Kesler's butt planted firmly in front of...

Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers: Tanever gonna give you up

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  February 05, 2013
Chris Tanev Edition Boxscore | Recap  Well, that game turned on a dime. For about 58 minutes, the Vancouver Canucks slogged through a muddled effort that looked like they had left their skateguards on they way the Oilers were flying. They had quite a few shots, but they were perimeter shots, and hardly quality chances. The Vancouver specials. And then Kevin Bieksa worked his late...

Canucks erase two-goal deficit, drop Oilers in OT

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  February 05, 2013
EDMONTON -- Getting even is more fun than getting mad. Just ask the Vancouver Canucks. A week after the Edmonton Oilers came back from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Canucks 3-2 in their own building, Vancouver rolled into Rexall Place and did the exact same thing. Trailing 2-0 after 28 minutes, the Canucks flicked the switch to "swarm" and had their way with Edmonton...

I Love Lou Cory Schneider is still the starter of the Vancouver Canucks in the same way Roberto Luongo was still the starter last year when Schneider was riding a hot hand. All that’s really happening right now is that Luongo is increasing his trade value. Oh, and Ryan Kesler took part in his first practice yesterday. Things are looking up.
