This is the first time in team history that a goalie the Canucks have drafted has signed a long term deal as its starter.

I wonder when the next goalie controversy is.
Solid contract, Demko is a stud 🥰
Major risk.
Marstrom did win two series on his own with a Shutout and in the Vegas series the Canucks were shutout in two of Marky's losses can't blame the guy for that he played great nearly all season, I was hoping we could have signed him for another 2 years. Demko I think played in 8 games at the end of last season straight and we went 3-5 we were sliding out of the playoffs and if Covid hadn't shortened the season likely we fall out of the playoffs with Demko. This season with Demko seeing a large body of work we're keeping our head above Ottawa which isn't saying much at all. If we get more of the same we don't have to worry about the post season for the next 5 years.
I'm impressed with your ability to write straight lines on that board. I would have no chance at keeping that legible.
Your writing wrist deserves an award.
Wow. Terrible. I remember loving Dunc Wilson and "Suitcase" Smith. We've been lucky with number 1s in the last couple of decades but the drafting – not just goalies – has been terrible. The last decade has been much better.
There's a weird consistency over the years where Canucks trade their better goaltender. I don't understand why. Happy that Demko got that contract!
Also, when you said Joe Cannata I was thinking that I recognize that name; and I looked it up. He's currently with IK Oskarshamn in the SHL in Sweden. 🙂 so far this season his numbers are
43 Games, 2.78 GAA, .912 save-%, 1 SO and a record of 17-24-0
I'm surprised there wasn't one mention of how both Schneider and Demko went to Boston College. Neat little bit of symmetry there for the two most recent Canucks drafted goalies to become the starter
If there was no expansion draft would Markstrom still be in Vancouver? Would Demko no longer be a Canuck?
This should be an elective course at UBC.
So what you're saying is Demko is on the trading block!?!
@7:35 You forgot about troy gamble in 90-91
Mavica… from my home town
Friends with older brother
..was he the kid in net when we would play street hockey
I don't remember any of it
The video might as well be titled:
Vancouver Canucks goaltending A legacy of failure.
I like how you set up Lindens poster to reflect in the chrome of your YouTube award.
Edit:: Is it Linden or Courtnall? Is it a 4 or a 6?
Vancouver needs to re sign there goalie couch.
Really interesting, informative, and timely deep dive on the Canuck's goaltending (and goaltender drafting) history. Wouldn't have thought to ask for that, but it was really interesting and made me even more excited about Demko signing the 5-year contact!
Also, as an aside, I love John Shorthouse & John Garrett's play-by-play so much that all you had to do was say John Garrett's name to make me smile and feel warm fuzzies. Love those guys.

That's a steal!! Demko is more important to the team than Hughes and Petterson. Today, I decided that I'm getting a Demko jersey
