Gstank29 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well we have Markstrom and Lack as are nhl goalies, but does anyone know about Ericksson. He played all year in Utica and put up good numbers on an average team. He looks like he's about a year or two away from being ready but when he is, who's going to go? added linked to stats http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=113834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Eriksson could be the best out of all of them when all is said and done. Time will tell. Never a bad thing to have 3 top young goalies in the system though. It means we don't have to waste a pick on one for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux4lyfe Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 It's only a 'goaltender controversy' when dumb fans and media make it out to be one, All 3 of these goalies have a lot to prove and nothing wrong with internal competition.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Funny when the Canucks have all these goalies that perform so well they blow it out of proportion (ex. controversy) but when say a team like the Ducks have had all those good goalies all at the same time in their system there isn't a tiny mention of it anywhere.

bigbadcanucks Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Talking about a goalie controversy is a little premature, don't you think? We could be so lucky to have a goalie controversy, which is only possible if you have two bonafide superstar goalies. That obviously is far from being a reality since MG purged the team of its two best assets in a matter of 9 months. I would be all for sending either Markstrom or Eriksson in a package with Edler (the pylon), Burrows (the skinny French kid on the downside of his career), Sestito (the human punching bag) to TO for James Reimer, Jake Gardiner and Colton Orr. With Reimer and Lack in tow, maybe, just maybe, we would have a situation that is worthy of a goalie controversy. Consider us lucky if we have another goalie controversy anytime soon.

zombieksa Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Simple solution: Come training camp the goalie that plays best is our starter, second best is the backup, third best is in Utica. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 That's not really an excuse, pretty much same situation but they want to make a molehill out of nothing. Where did I say that? Its an explanation. Not an excuse. Most of Orange County couldn't name their starting goalie, so when theres a goalie controversy, the fans they have are just happy the net is being well guarded. Whereas in Vancouver, not only do you have the rabid fanbase that freaks out when one goalie sneezes, but you have the media focusing in on it as well.

CANUCKS FTW! Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Erikson would be the one to go. Markstrom and Lack all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Don't feed this beast. Positives don't have to be negatives. Exactly, until he's playing better than our current starter there's very little point in creating a controversy that isn't there. The very worst thing Burke ever did for the Canucks was creating the term 'goalie graveyard'. Once we got a goalie worth talking about the media was ready to rip them apart. I don't think they need the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
