You guys should have kept that fucker that played for Dallas last night. Hedburg or whatever his name is was the only reason the stars one. With he and Turko, they have some wicked puckstoppers there. I haven't followed the guy at all but the way he played last night he would probably be seeing a little more ice if he were still with the Canucks. Didn't see the Canucks game last night, I do know they won, who was in goal?

I never seen the game but i heard cloutier was in net. The nucks aren't going anywhere with dan in net, they should have traded his ass a long time ago.
Yes, Dan did not look good. At the end of the game he let in 3 out of 13 shots-- yes,a measly 13 shots in 3 periods. Meanwhile Roloson let in four of some 41 or 42 shots....nuff said.
Dan barely kept us in the game. Add Wendesday's performance into the mix and I'd be looking at Auldy more closely if I was Crawford. But it's early, and lets remember that Dan led us to win the division in the last season.
As for Hedburg, he got a bit of a rough ride by Burke, but nobody shed any tears when he was cut-- at least from what I can remember ?

Put Auld in.....the guy can play and if he's the "future" let him play, the guy is a great stand up goaltender. Trade Cloutier to Botswana or wherever but get rid of him he is just another Cujo!!
as i posted in the other half dozen threads of this nature: who are you going to trade Cloutier to???
and for what? a couple future considerations? did that pay off with the Potvin trade?
and Hedberg had a couple good nights and then some real duds ... it was why Auld was playing in the playoffs instead of him.
And maybe the nucks have to go with Auld ... maybe they just have to play a bit better with him in net until he proves himself ...
but all Clouts has proven is that he cannot stop a puck.

When he's good, he's really good - but when he's not, he sucks. He runs in streaks, and right now the streak-meter is pointing to sucks.
But a goalie that is going to take a team to the Stanley Cup does not run in streaks. Such a goalie varies between just plain good and just plain awesome. Dan is not such a goalie.

Ironically, his win record three seasons straight is one of the best in the WHOLE league (only Martin Brodeur was better) and no Canuck goalie has had as good a record as Clouts ...Big Trapper said:

Yeah, I've seen those stats before. I think it must have something to do with Crawford or one of his helpers being able to read his moods and put him out mainly on the good nights. He has usually had somebody pretty good to sub in for him.
oh Canuckleheads, oh Canuckleheads....
When will it ever occur to you that Vancouver has & always will be a goalie-graveyard.

Strangely enough I agree, Clouts has had his time... bring up Auld as the starter.... and who was that kid in net during pre season?

i say they put the number one spot up for grabs.
alternate between auld and cloutier until say the all star break or is it the olympic break? and whoever has the best record (wins, gga and whatever) does the stretch to the playoffs
i dont think vancouver would get much more than a bag of hockey sticks for cloutier, but if this lights a fire on his ass then either way its win win. either clouts steps up his game, or auld proves himself

Burke was a shitty trader. He wasn't responsible for getting Naslund or Bertuzzi. He got Jovo but who couldn't get Jovo if you had an asset like Bure.
He traded to get that bum Felix Potvin and stupid Burke gave up three players which I believe were Scatchard, Weekes and someone else.
He gave up a draft pick to get some guy named Martin Brochu.
He got Cloutier but gave up a pretty good defenceman, Adrian Aucoin.
He could have got Mikka Kripisoff but he fucked that up.
