DW23 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 here's the link http://www.blick.ch/sport/eishockey/nla/cory-schneider-in-die-valascia-id2121144.html considering that he is apparently half Swiss this means he counts as a Swiss player and they are still allowed to use 4 foreigners which is pretty huge over here. hope he does better than Max Pacioretty. after all, Ambri is quite the bad team here in Switzerland. But since they had Schaefer as their no 1, it's safe to say he'll be the clear no 1 and will get lots of playing time I'll definitely go and watch him play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It says nowhere that he has signed or when (end of December) he would. I think this is a very bold move for someone representing the NHLPA in the CBA dispute. If he does leave soon it will show just how strong the NHLPA really is and its true colours.

DW23 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 sorry...should have translated. the bold part states that he signed until end of december also it says he beat out Luongo for the 1 in van and he is considered as a flexible butterfly goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 @BradZiemer Looks like Schneider will replace Nolan Schaefer as starter. He's the younger brother of former #Canucks winger Peter Schaefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfan1968 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It is the 26-year-old Cory Schneider, a Swiss-American dual citizen who is thus loaded the Immigration Quota of Ticino and not normally plays for the Vancouver Canucks. Schneider debuted in 2008 in the NHL. In the last two seasons, he has established himself as getting better expectant backup of the famous Roberto Luongo. Schneider pointed out in the last season (33 games), a quota of 93.6 percent at 1.96 goals against per game on (three shutouts). He finished second in the respective rankings of the NHL places 2 third respectively In the playoffs, Schneider increased in three appearances even at impressive 96 percent thwarted shots and 1.31 goals per game. The 1.88 m wide Schneider is considered extremely agile butterfly goalie. He had been in 2004 NHL Draft drawn in the first round by the Canucks. Ambris current main goalkeeper is the Canada-Swiss Nolan Schaefer. (Si Did it for you DW23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi Babe Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 true. I think I read it in a different newspaper over here...I saw that it mentioned sth about Lu and Schneider and just thought it read he beat out Lu. anyway. looking forward to seeing him play. don't get to see many Canucks over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visp Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 good job Cory, Ambri are struggling this year though, never actually seem to be relegated into the NLB though.. should be interesting to see if Schneider and Max Pacioretty develop some chemistry out there http://thehockeywrit...e-swiss-league/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Schneider isn't half Swiss, he has dual citizenship because his grandfather was born there. (Source: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=409882) But he has officially signed and is expected to join them for practice tomorrow.

Ossi Vaananen Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 So he's signed until the end of December, but if the lockout ends in time to start games for the 15th, then he's going to miss 2 weeks of hockey? He can probably defect from the deal over there and come right back, I'm just curious as to how binding this deal is. All things considered I guess it's not a horrible thing to have Luongo start for 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 His name is Schneider, he has red hair and looks like a typical farmer's son, how much more Swiss do you want?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The freckles and the red hair combined with the fact that he's from Boston give me the sense that he's got some serious Irish in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
