GAA of 20.54 in the playoffs this year.

Did he fall asleep? Go for a hot dog? Was his mask facing the wrong way?

I have questions.

It's gotta be a situation where he came in as the backup for 3ish minutes and got scored on.

edit: apparently the story is just below

Looks like he started Game 1 of the series, let in 3 goals in the first 8 shots and was pulled. Never saw action again. Prince George was not a good team this year (24-39-4) which is still somehow good enough to finish 6th in the Conference and faced a much better Portland team.

No concerns about his stats, they'll get better with more time in the WHL, just have to trust Mr. Ian Clark on this one.

Is he the youngest player in the draft? September 11 is right at the edge of being eligible for next season's draft.

If he's not, he's definitely close.

Ian Clark, time do your thing.

Goaltending development might be the only thing we are at the top of the league in, so it makes sense to leverage this competitive advantage and draft more goalies than the average team. And it makes sene that it's usually inexperienced projects with good size and raw potential (Silovs, Koskenvuo, this guy).

Given that AK will be attending Harvard hard to know when he turns pro. Young will be done his WHL in 2024. He may turn pro a year before AK and Silovs will no longer be waiver exempt by then. Always good to have options in net and trust your goalie coach with the pick.

Especially with the talk and Mikey D could be on the move in the future.

Guessing any goaltending pick comes from mr clark

 

[PG Canuck]

Take any stats he has with PG with a grain of salt. Any goalie that plays here is more than likely better than what the numbers say.

Especially the time we drafted his son

 

[DekeyPete]

Something to cheer about for our lowly cougars. Do your magic Ian Clark!

Yeah. Makes sense to invest where you can have some confidence in your development program. You always want to keep the goaltender pipeline flowing anyway, because their timelines are pretty extended compared to your typical prospect. But organizationally, and coaching-wise, that aspect of development seems to be one of the only things we're good at. Might as well take advantage of that and try to become a "goaltending factory". Teams always need goaltending.

 

[VanJack]

Canucks seem to invest in a goalie in later rounds in every draft.....and you have to trust goaltending guru Ian Clark......goalies can come from anywhere, and the Canuck pipeline is proof positive.

So far their prospect goalies are now from Latvia, Finland, the OHL in Ontario and now a B.C. kid. Should be interesting to monitor their progress, if nothing else.

 

[Sykur]

Goalies are voodoo, you never know how they're going to turn out. I think development is more important than draft position and their career could take many turns before they make it to the big leagues.

Goalies age in dog years as well, you won't see him play in the NHL for 10 years.

Demko took 4 years, but yeah, they usually take longer to develop and have later career primes.
