Schneider Gets Some Ice Time

After Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo gave up 12 goals in less than two full games, the team put in Marblehead native Cory Schneider.

After the Boston Bruins exploded for 12 goals in less than two games on Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo, head coach Alain Vigneault opted to put in Marblehead native Cory Schneider, who looked solid between the pipes for the 15 minutes he was on the ice.

Schneider, who played for Marblehead High School in his freshman year and later started in the net at Boston College, recorded 9 saves over 15:45 and successfully stopped the bleeding for a passionless Canucks team that looked like they were more ready to head home for Game 5 than score on Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas.

Although Schneider's solid performance Wednesday night isn't expected to stir up a goalie controversy in Vancouver, it will likely mean that Vigneault will be quicker to pull the trigger when it comes to pulling the struggling Luongo in Game 5.
