Hi I'm a canes fan and for a brief while a Scott Darling apologist.
At this point he needs to be gone from the NHL canes.
But I pondered a Question

Someone give his sister a link to this poll.
Regular Season Cloutier? No, he was not Carolina Darling bad while in Vancouver, not sure about before then. Playoff Cloutier? I'll give you that one.

Thanks those are some bad numbers.Some quick google work found a gem in Ken McAuley. He was the starter for the Rangers in 1943-44 and 1944-45. A legit starter, too, as that's what we need to qualify. He started all but 4 games over 2 seasons with NYR.
'43-'44 saw him put up a GAA of 6.24 and only 6 wins in 50 games. 50 games! 6-39-5.
Career numbers: 17-64-15 and a 5.61 GAA.
There are some bad season out there for goalies, especially expansion teams early on.
Sharks second season saw
Sens first year goalies[TBODY] [/TBODY]

In terms of pure crap goals, Toskala and Bernier when he was on the leafs were amazingly bad.
is this just a case of the Chicago team making Darling look better than he was?
Mentally, I don't think he was strong enough to be a starting goalie in the NHL. He got in his own head from the start this year, and just kept putting more and more and more pressure on himself to do well. The second he would let in a bad goal, his body language changed and he started pressing. For most goalies, they would brush it off, but Darling would just let it fester.In terms of pure crap goals, Toskala and Bernier when he was on the leafs were amazingly bad.

Its so bad now he's just a complete headcase. Mechanics and fundamentals are completely shot to hell and nonexistent. Last night he was playing angles vs the body rather than the puck. He has no business suiting up in the NHL ever again after the conclusion of this season. Certainly not in a starter's role. He's not capable of it.
I know he wasn't a starter but remember how bad Kidd was for us lolDon't know if they are definitively worse, but 07-08 Andrew Raycroft and 09-10 Vesa Toskala want their honorable mentions here.
She takes to Twitter nightly to publicly rip into the Canes players and broadcasters for not being a worthy enough team for Scott to be playing on.What's this about his sister? Is she super protective of her brother?
