WTF we got raped by COLORADO ?
- Thread starter shak
- Start date
Ouch,ouch,ouch ouch,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,not sure what to say other than we sucked tonight,,,,,,oh well,,,ya could be a Flames fan I guess 
man i am a guy who says wait and see on cloutier but how many times can this guy give up 4 goals in a game and continue to be the number one guy.
Is Cloutier blowing Crawford or what?? I can't figure out why he's still in Van. He should have been packed and traded before the zamboni hit the ice for letting in that infamous center-line goal against Detroit.
who's going to take him????Guy smiley said:
and the nucks do play different with him in net versus auld ... they do more defensive work, including blocking shots, which they don't do with Clouts.
and unfortunately, it is the team which seems to like him so he stays for now ... but with Auld 3-0 there may be hope that he will season enough for the post-season.
Bros, it's all Economics! Cloutier has always been cheap/ inexpensive compared to other No.1 goalies (not saying that he necessarily deserves to be No.1). But for the budget minded Canucks (especially in the past, but with the new CBA, every team has more parity) he's performed decently (although not when it counts!) and in recent years the Canucks have made money! So with attendance, TV revenues as well as other marketing $$ all UP, why go out and spend 3-5 times the amount of money to get a REAL No. 1 goalie who can perform when it truly counts??? The Canucks sell the adage that they have built a true Stanley Cup contender however; it's all about the $$$.
I think the only positive for the Canucks out of this situation is with the new rules/ regs in place, the entire league will change (somewhat) to depend on speed and offence rather than solely on defence (Caveat: only if the officiating permits the free reeling style to continue into the playoffs).

If they're gonna lose a game, might as well get blown out. It'll give them more motivation for the next game.
Good point. What the difference between 2-1 and 10-1?
They both earn the same number of points at the end of the day - none.
