Cory Schneider's "body" injury was to his groin.
He strained his groin on April 22 against Chicago and wasn't able to return until Game 3 of the playoffs. Schneider's return wasn't enough for the Canucks though, as they were quickly eliminated from the postseason in four straight games by the San Jose Sharks. May 9 - 4:50 PM

The Vancouver Canucks failed to stay alive, falling in the opening round for the second consecutive season after a 4-3 overtime loss on Tuesday night.

Schneider stopped 45 of 49 shots he faced, but was overall shaky in the two starts he made this postseason after returning from a lower body injury. Goaltending dominated the narrative of a rather tumultuous Canucks season. All indications point to an end to the long-running controversy in net this offseason as Roberto Luongo figures to be on the move. Schneider's playoff performance, however, likely isn't completely convincing. GM Mike Gillis along with the rest of the Canucks management have a very interesting summer coming up, after another extremely disappointing campaign.
May 8 - 1:39 AM

The Vancouver Canucks announced that Cory Schneider will start Tuesday's do-or-die Game 4.

Down 3-0 in the series, there is no tomorrow for the Canucks unless they win Tuesday night. It's a little surprising coach Alain Vigneault is sticking with Schneider after he was awful in Game 3. Roberto Luongo played very well in Games 1 and 2 and even the Sharks said they were happy Luongo was not in net for Game 3. Regardless of which goalie he picked, Vigneault would be ripped either way. At this point, he just has to get the Canucks on the board in the series and worry about public perception later.
May 7 - 3:15 PM

The San Jose Sharks were happy that Cory Schneider started Game 3.

Schneider played his first game in the playoffs and it was a disaster as he gave up five goals on only 28 shots after returning to action following an undisclosed injury. Despite losing the first two games, Roberto Luongo was outstanding in net, a fact not lost on the Sharks. "We felt Lou was playing great," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "We felt we were lucky not to play against Lou, to be honest." It remains to be seen who will start Game 4 for the Canucks but we would be surprised if it wasn't Roberto Luongo.
May 6 - 10:04 AM

With the Canucks in desperate need of a victory, Cory Schneider allowed five goals on 28 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Sharks in Game Three of their opening round playoff series Sunday.

After missing the first two games of the playoffs with an undisclosed ailment, Schneider struggled in his return to the lineup and was removed from the game just over four minutes into the third period. Roberto Luongo came on in relief and blocked all 10 shots he faced. It's unclear which Vancouver goaltender will get the nod in Game Four of the series, but the Canucks will require a miracle regardless.
May 6 - 1:04 AM

It's true: Cory Schneider is the Vancouver Canucks' starter in Game 3 against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday.

It seemed plausible since he practiced on Sunday, but now it's clear that it is true. The Canucks need to win this badly considering their 2-0 deficit, so there is a lot of pressure on Schneider tonight.
May 5 - 3:16 PM

Cory Schneider practiced with the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday, the same day as Game 3 of their series against the San Jose Sharks.

The Canucks' strange situation continues, as this hints that he's that much more likely to be available if Vancouver chooses to start him. It's a really confusing situation as Roberto Luongo has been solid-to-strong while the team dropped the first two games vs. San Jose.
May 5 - 2:44 PM

The Vancouver Canucks' goaltending situation is getting curiouser and curiouser.

Cory Schneider, perceived generally as the team's first-string goalie most of the season, has not played at all during Vancouver's first-round playoff series against the San Jose Sharks. Roberto Luongo has played both games even though Schneider said he was physically fit to play earlier this week. But in the Canucks' 3-2 overtime loss Friday, Schneider wasn't even dressed as a backup. The Canucks trail the Sharks 2-0 in the series and there are those who'd suggest that, despite Luongo's decent performances, Schneider is a no-brainer to start in San Jose, just to shake things up if nothing else. Coach Alain Vigneault, however, says nothing of the sort. Schneider hasn't been allowed to talk to the media for three consecutive days. Asked if Schneider would travel with the the team to San Jose, Vigneault replied: "Not sure."
May 4 - 11:23 AM

Cory Schneider (undisclosed) is still day-to-day and he didn't practice Thursday.

He skated with his teammates on Monday and Tuesday and participated in the morning skate prior to Game 1, so his absence now has led to speculation that he may have suffered a setback. Coach Alain Vigneault wouldn't fuel that talk though and Schneider hasn't been made available to speak to the media since Tuesday. Roberto Luongo is slated to start Friday in Game 2.
May 2 - 6:16 PM

Cory Schneider (undisclosed) isn't ready to return to Vancouver's lineup yet.

Roberto Luongo will start in Wednesday's playoff opener as a result. "Schneids is just not healthy enough right now," said coach Alain Vigneault. "We had an idea Tuesday and we told Louie before he left to be ready. This morning, when we talked to Schneids before practice, it was a pretty easy decision."
May 1 - 3:58 PM

Cory Schneider (undisclosed) says he feels ready to play, but coach Alain Vigneault will make the final call.

Vigneault said after practice he won't make any decision about the starting goalie for Game 1 until Wednesday after he sees how Schneider responds to practice Tuesday. Check back after tomorrow's morning shootaround for hopefully official confirmation of the Canucks' starters.
Apr 30 - 3:37 PM

Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said he might wait to reveal Cory Schneider's (undisclosed) status for Game 1 until Wednesday.

It must be the playoffs. Coaches are normally cagey about injuries and goalies during the regular season, but it gets ratcheted up 150 percent in the postseason. Schneider practiced Monday for the first time since being hurt April 22, which is a pretty good sign. If Schneider can't play, Roberto Luongo will start Game 1.

Cory Schneider practiced Monday for the first time since suffering an undisclosed injury on April 22 against Chicago.

His return to the ice has him probable to start Wednesday in Game 1 against the visiting San Jose Sharks. If he can't play then Roberto Luongo will get the nod in his place.

Apr 29 - 6:05 PM

Cory Schneider is expected to be ready to start Game 1 of the playoffs when the Canucks take on San Jose.

Schneider missed Vancouver's final two regular season games with what coach Alain Vigneault referred to as a "body injury", but the time off seems to have been precautionary, as the Canucks netminder will be ready to go for the postseason.
Apr 28 - 8:06 AM

Cory Schneider has a "body injury," according to coach Alain Vigneault.

The good news is that Schneider's mysterious injury isn't believed to be serious. It will prevent him from playing in Vancouver's last two regular-season matches, but GM Mike Gillis mentioned that Schneider could have played Thursday if the game meant something. It sounds like he'll be ready to go in the playoffs and until he's ready Roberto Luongo will play in his place.
