The Canucks seem to be very good at developing goaltenders in the recent past. But consider what we had before Roberto Luongo arrived for the 2006-2007 season.
The last year before having a "reputation" goaltender, in 06-07, Alex Auld started 67 games. The guy that was "the man" before him, Dan Cloutier, only played 13 games, and Maxime Ouellet, Mika Noronan, and Rob McVicar ( only 1 game ) all saw time between the pipes. Quite a "roll call", eh ?
For the record, I think Auldsy was and is a very nice man, and I like his insights on TV, but he was not going to live up to being "the man" in a city like Vancouver.
