Almost like he had to let a real softy in just to get his game face on. Luongo had a big game issue at times for sure. To be fair, Cloutier never got serious consideration for the Vezina unlike Markstrom. The later tends to fall apart playing a ton of games in a season (needs game management). Luongo could play a TON of games but seemed to wilt at pressure moments. Edited October 25, 2023 by NewbieCanuckFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason why it's a "prescribed" beverage, better for you than most hospital food. Get what you're saying, but like any beverage brand, it's usually better depending on where it's brewed. And doesn't taste like it used too, even with the "nitrogen" bling added. Best coke in the world is from Mexico. Because they are only ones still using the original recipe, and even the "Mexican Coke", made from cane sugar and not corn syrup, that you can buy in the store, isn't the same either. For sure you can find something better. But it's pretty good for a mass produced brand too. That's true. I mean obviously if I was in Ireland I'd be drinking that and actually going to the Guinness factory, but here it's just meh for me. I'm not saying not to enjoy it of course because people like what they like, but for me it's ok. Cheers to the Canucks win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markstrom had one good season for us. In 20-30 years people won't be talking about him much. Serious with us? I guess but ... Cloutier also had 7, and I remember this was the year he was supposed to finally click for us, 7 shutouts yet Markstrom almost set a new record for all goaltenders, all-time before he finally got one. Personally and know this might rub some people the wrong way, wasn't a big fan. Agree with his opponents, he's just a big goalie that covers a lot of net. Irbe and Vernon, Broduer and Beezer, and Ricther (hate to say that but yes true) were so much better at their craft. There is a big difference between making a save, sucking in a puck, and punting a rebound to D's stick to help the outlet pass, and being big in a net. Markstrom did let in softies. Muffins. Also know he didn't have much support either. Most NHL goalies, especially starters, can win a game all on their own. He did. But and there is a but, aside look at his career totals. I think he's done. Ben Bishop 2.0, actually not there yet. Edited October 25, 2023 by IBatch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloutier had the most lethal scoring line in front of him and a far better blueline (Jovo & Ohlunds in their prime). I hope in 10 years I can forget about the Markstrom years as it'll mean forgetting the horrible Benning years as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand opening up that 5 mil next year would be nice - but if we’re having to retain anything I’d hope they prioritize other means of carving out space. Beauvillier, for example, can simply walk and Myers’ 6 mil will be gone as well. Good content as usual, .. but .. are you advocating keeping Garland?

Don't want to pick on Markstrom but can now he's not part of the club anymore. Not sure what one very good season with us makes any difference. We've had others, even Dan Cloutier! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather keep garland at full price than trade him, while retaining 30%. (I suppose it depends on return - if we’re getting a good asset back with retention I could be swayed.) But he’s not a bad player at all. If you really need the space for the Petey extension, or whatever, try to move him next offseason. If this is some scheme to desperately clear cap to sign Bear it just seems super short sighted. And I like Bear. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suter's defensive work is solid, but he's done very little offensively. Soucy is about what I expected, a capable 3rd pairing D, but can struggle sometimes with too high a level of competition.

I don't think Garland actually requested a trade. The Canucks simply allowed him and his agent to look for opportunities. More of a "we'd be okay if you want to move on from us..." *nudge* *nudge* I suspect Garland wouldn't mind staying on the team but the Canucks management wants to move on. I'd rather move Beauvillier, as he seems the far less valuable player, but then, he might be harder to move. His contract is much shorter though (pending UFA), so it wouldn't get us out of as much in the long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

testycal Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Very simple..A Bouvelier is an acceptable complementary player but he drives nothing...Garland is as noted earlier can be a nightmare...watch how he ends his shifts on the ice..one of the only players who does not glide in....busts his rear to get off the off quickly for the change. We need that. Last minute face down on the stomach reach out with his stick to deflect the puck out with 10 seconds left in the game shows me he is the kind of player I want on this time. He has his place, he needs to be deployed the right way. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I think it already looks very likely that we overpaid him. A lot of hype and hope that he'd be a top 4 D that was unfortunately pretty unfounded dreams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
