No, those problems aren't causing the Vancouver Canucks problems for anything other than what to do with Roberto Luongo. You see, Cory Schneider has been starting the last few games, and no word on whether Luongo is actually injured has surfaced. So, what's the problem? Schneider is actually winning those games, having won five straight, including last night's win versus Columbus. That win has put the Canucks within two points of the Minnesota Wild for first in the Northwest Division, and even though it isn't December until tomorrow, the perpetual question of playing Luongo and his hefty contract is most likely going to loom well into the playoff run. For now, this seems to be Schneider's team, and Luongo will get his ice time, as the Canucks will likely do what they did last year: distribute the playing time evenly to the point where the team can have two fresh goaltenders. If nothing else, this year will be interesting for the Canucks fans who have been on a few wild rides over the years.
