There has been a lot of drama this offseason surrounding the Canucks goalie situation and when Schneider was pulled in the season opener after allowing 5 goals in just 27 minutes, the drama reached a whole new level. The Canucks obviously aren't goingt to give up on him after just one bad start, but if Schneider wants to keep his job, he needs to perform better.
Schneider is expected to be the #1 goalie in Vancouver this season with Luongo either getting traded or backing him up. Schneider needs to get off to a fast start though because Luongo will be breathing down his neck. Start Schneider tonight with confidence.
Schneider looks to continue the momentum and keep the Canucks' season going.
Not much help from the Canucks bench. Stay tuned.
Despite playing well, Luongo gets the boot.
