Here is a sad stat. If Demko wins tonight he will be tied for sixth in most Canuck victories for a goalie .

Yeah it is horrible

We've been outshot every game except for two since this thing started. I'd say the chances we let Markstrom walk are minimal. Even then, we'd still pay a handsome price for another goalie.

He lost both goalies because ehe waited so long it created an issue. Should been able to get more.

They still had Lu until the heritage game. The 9th overall pick was a great trade for Schneider who had what 2-3 good seasons afterwards?

When he trade Lu, he got his replacement. Lu's value changed when the recapture rule came into effect.

I guarantee you they will both be on the opening day roster next year, whenever that might be

Believe that's in JB's plans as he's been cultivating this goalie tandem to develop ever since he let Miller go.

Didn't Schneider have a couple of years where he was a top goalie in New Jersey? At first the decline was slight, then he hasn't won a game since or something.

No insulting peoples intelligence.

No bragging about a boat or their wine selection.

No contending their political opinions are correct.

Just do it for Corn Pop and win

There just aren't that many goalies that have won a playoff series for the Canucks. Markstrom just won *2 in a year which only 3 other goalies have done.

So ring of honor or should we just retire his number?

The cereal? I mean, as a kid, that was probably my second favorite, but “win one for the popper” isn’t a phrase I thought I would ever hear

I'd negotiate with the guy.

Who knows what he wants. He might take a 1 year deal for more money, maybe a deal that's only fully protected for 1 year.

I agree with RC though, he'll take less to play in Vancouver. Flying off to Dallas or LA has lost much of it's appeal.

I'd say just not take him for granted.

Yes. Gillis got below market value in both trades(as in at the time, the return wasn’t great), Markstrom and Bo panned out very well though. But pretending Gillis didn’t completely bungle that situation is a joke and a half. Selective memories! I guess people forget how poorly managed that was.

They’d be foolish not to. He’s been unreal the last year, he’s definitely changed my opinion of him big time.

Ya, both those trades were total disasters.
Too bad the players they got in return don't play anymore.

It was an awesome trade at the time. Not many goalies have been traded for top 10 picks, especially ones that have never started even half a season.

I like Horvat as a player since day 1, solid pick. I thought it was a great trade at the time and haven't really looked back at it much, even when Schneider was playing well.

Considering Lu's recapture penalty is hitting us currently and he's retired says much about his perceived trade value at the time.

I thought for sure Felix Potvin or Bob Essensa or hell, even Kay Whitmore would have had more than one playoff victory all time.

Doing it for Corn pop isn't political.......he's a bad dude.!
