Another goalie controversy in vancouver?

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.

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.

The ducks don't exactly play in a market like Vancouver

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.

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.
