Moments In Time: Top 5 Vancouver Canucks backup goalies in history
Always #1 With The Fans!
Back-up goalies are a funny, strange lot. They are eyed rather suspiciously at times by the incumbent starters, like devious theatrical understudies hoping for an injury to the lead, or the Mr. Hyde to Dr. Jekyll.
Though the position has historically been given short shrift in the league, the value of having a solid relief goaltender is increasingly important...

Ten Years Later, We Still Love You Danny Boy
Wow. This Spring will mark the ten-year anniversary of the end of Dan Cloutier’s career at the hands of the greatest defenseman in history. Here’s a little ditty for you…

Video: The 10 best goalie fights of all-time
Goalies don't usually fight unless all ten skaters are tangled up in extra-curricular activities. Goalie fights are usually awkward. They're slow to develop. And, they're awesome. We've amassed what we believe at the ten best hockey goalie fights in the history of the internet. Remember this when you want to drop the gloves with the putz who'll steal your...

Video: Watch Hannu Toivonen allow goal from opposing blue line
Move over Vesa Toskala, Roman Turek, Dan Cloutier, Chris Osgood, and Osgood again ... and one more from Ozzie along with others, because former NHLer Hannu Toivonen has joined the undesirable club of goaltenders who've let in shots from way, way too far out.
During Wednesday's HockeyAllsvenskan derby match against Rogle, Toivonen -- who signed a 2-year deal with Malmo over the...

Arguments I Hate: “Vancouver is a Goalie Graveyard”
Today is the first installment of a new feature I like to call “Arguments I Hate”. The premise is simple. I will present something that a lot of people say or believe is true, and tell you why it’s nonsense. Today we’ll look at the assertion that Vancouver is a ‘goalie graveyard’.
The term ‘goalie graveyard’ was a term first coined...

Hodgson Changes Number, Hopes to Rid Curse of the Number 39
Cody Hodgson has decided to switch numbers. He’ll be moving away from his familiar number 39 in favour of the number 9 jersey, and I’m all for it! The number 39 has not been kind of Cody Hodgson. In fact, it hasn’t been kind of anyone in Canuck history.
The last guy to wear the number 39 on a regular basis was Dan Cloutier. Cloutier was plagued with injuries while with the...

Don’t go there: comparing the Canucks to the 1998 Red Wings is absurd
It’s this kind of fluff that really irritates my Wings fan’s sensibilities…Since January, it seems, the Vancouver press corps has regularly suggested that this year’s Canucks compare favorably to the Red Wings’ Stanley Cup-winning teams from the late 90’s, and this suggestion from the Vancouver Province’s Tony Gallagher is just...silly:

Flyers Continue To Roll Out The Goalie
from Chuck Gormley of the Courier Post, It’s difficult to judge which is more fascinating: the fact that Flyers coach Peter Laviolette has started and pulled three different goalies in the first six games of the playoffs or, in spite of that, the Flyers are in a position to win the first-round series with a win tonight at the Wells Fargo Center.

Kings Goaltending Controversy?
The Los Angeles Kings have a problem that they haven’t been faced with for quite a while. No, it’s not a goaltending controversy. Deciding between Daniel Taylor or Dan Cloutier for who should be the tender to “lead” your team to defeat is not the kind of controversy I’m talking about. This time, it’s a positive controversy. The Kings have not...

Preview: Vancouver Canucks vs New York Rangers
This is the lone meeting between the teams this season. The Rangers haven't beaten the Canucks since Feb. 2, 2004. Bobby Holik scored twice and Mike Dunham made 27 saves in the 4-3 victory. The Canucks' starting goaltender in that game was Dan Cloutier.

One month in: now what do we think of this team?
We are just under one month into the 2010-11 edition of the Vancouver Canucks. Despite pre-season Stanley Cup predictions, this season began with a bit of a whimper. The Canucks started off the season 2-3-2, beating only bottom feeders Florida and Carolina. It also featured a fan fueled goaltending freakout of Dan Cloutier proportions.

An Interesting Backup Solution for the Blueshirts
Larry Brooks of The New York Post has an interesting solution when it comes to the New York Rangers’ backup goaltending situation. The name is an oldie but a goodie and Blueshirt fans will always remember him beating up on New York Islanders’ goaltender Tommy Salo back in 1998.

Perhaps the answer to both the Rangers’ backup goaltending situation that...

Taking the ice in Traverse City, MI were new players such as Patrick Eaves, returning Wings Jason Williams and Todd Bertuzzi and young hopefuls like defenseman Jakub Kindl.
