How The Canucks Went From Goalie Graveyard To Goalie Factory



With his win over the New Jersey Devils, Thatcher Demko became the fifth goalie in Canucks’ history to win 100 games, just nine short of the legend Dan Cloutier. This achievement had me thinking, when was the last time the Canucks had a bad starting goaltender? It has been a while, but memories of the goalie graveyard were rehashed. I did some research, and put together this video chronicling a dark period in the history of the Canuck’s crease.

    They have always been a goalie factory…canucks have had great goaltending for decades….its just been a goalie graveyard because of the media

    Love the channel but I disagree… since 2006 we've had Luongo to Schneider to Markstrom and now Demko. Goaltending was probably one of our more stable positions throughout the years.

    classic Vancouver developing goalies into elite and then hand them out to other NHL teams like candy on halloween

    Alfie Michaud played for the Selkirk Fishermen Atom & Pee-Wee teams as a kid growing up in Selkirk, Manitoba. I played for them too, 1 season on defence and 2 in goal. I wasn't very good, nobody on any of those teams were, but we had fun. Alfie was the first, and as far as I know, only kid from Selkirk to make it to the NHL. I was a few years older than him, it would have been my last season as a 12/13 year old before moving to Vancouver when Alfie started playing as a 5/6 year old.

    Cloutier was a step in the right direction. But those ten years that you talked about were rough times to be a young fan. I was a huge felix potvin fan before he came.. what a disappointment.
