This isn't saying Marky is a top 3 finalist, it's just saying he's Vancouver's nominee to the list. He might end up 31st of 31 players for all we know.

6string Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I always had him ahead of Nillson but no way did I see this coming. He's my choice for Canuck MVP. Good luck with the Masterton, maybe we can have both Petterrson and Markstrom collecting at the annual awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milk and honey Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I loved Schneider but why is he on there? Devils being classy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 After playing behind this D for the last two years he deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceGeorgeGoon Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 In Markys case a nomination IS a win. Hes gone from struggling to keep his job for years to becoming a world class goaltender. Yes Ian Clark is a magician but marky never gave up, put in the work and kept his head up. Congratulations Jacob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureFilm Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Well deserved. Marky has had his struggles but this season has been a step up. He's a leader and I think he's really gonna be able to help Demko evolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 8 hours ago, oldnews said: Markstrom living up to and perhaps even exceeding Vancouver's (mostly late) tradition of very high character goaltenders. Eddie Lack, Schneids. Luo, Miller, Bobby Essensa!, McLean....Cheech Marky! (Demko!) Was watching the Stars game last night and wondering if it's possible Benning has set up a Tampa-like progression. Here's hoping these guys can become something like the Bolts' Bishop/Vasilievskiy..... Wow, naming Eddie Lack and Bob Essensa but not Richard Brodeur? Anyway, Kay Whitmore had a lot of character (spirited backup) and so did both Arturs Irbe and Sean Burke (international legends). And Gary Smith almost won the Hart Trophy for the Canucks in the 70s. And the team broke into the league with Charlie Hodge between the pipes (Cup / Vezinas / All Star with Montreal). If the Canucks have any good tradition that goes back a long way, it's goalies with solid character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeck is a joke - because, he's still with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeck is a joke - because, he's still with us. Cheech was a good character guy. He had a winning record as a Canuck for his career, was assistant GM when he retired, and was known to fight in the WHA. Anyway, I'm not angry about it. I just try to get the old guys some respect around here when I can. The early Canucks get swept under the rug and it's a shame that many, many fans today don't know who guys like Brodeur, Boudrias, Skriko, Tanti, Lidster, Suitcase Smith, etc. were. Everything pre-94 is kind of written out of history, barring a couple names in the ROH, while equally deserving guys are left out to twist in the wind and fade away down the memory hole.

*Buzzsaw* Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Nice to see Marky get credit for sticking with his game and making the improvements he needed to become a #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 As great as Markstrom has been, I'm surprised the Canucks didn't nominate Sven Baertschi. He came back from a career threatening concussion. Usually those feats get nominated. Jury is still out on if Baertschi will be able to play long term but the fact that he returned at all should have warranted his nomination, in my opinion.
