Cory Schneider's Game 7 heroics.

Michael DiPietro is clearly not Rick's son. Rick DiPietro could never impregnate someone without getting injured.

Current contracted goalies
Markstrom - Tightness in legs, will not play tonight
Demko - Out for the next few days with a light knee sprain
Bachman (AHL) - Achilles injury, out for season
DiPietro (CHL) - Good luck, kid.

He couldn't have played through that?

Typically you don't play your goalie experiencing lower body tightness after having started him 3 games in 4 or 5 nights because you're just asking for him to get injured and then you'd be relying on Dipietro to start for weeks.

Gotcha. I didn't realize Vancouver had played that many games lately.

Vancouvers goaltending depth must be pretty bad when a really raw 19 year old CHL goalie has to start a game. It's not even like some of those injuries are really that.
We have 2 goaltenders under contract that aren't out for the season (Bachman has been out for the season since late December).

They've had 5 weeks to sign another pro goaltender or two (and a week since recalling DiPietro because Demko got injured) and they've done nothing.

Even Utica GM Ryan Johnson was begging for goaltending help a month ago.

Yeah that just sounds like failure by managment. When McKenna was claimed Canucks should've went out and signed someone or traded for someone just as an insurance. You just never know and you don't want to happen what happened today.

If the Canucks still had Cory Schneider, he would have probably done that about 3 times this year.

Bush league to start a Junior goaltender in an NHL game, and against one of the best teams to boot. What did they honestly think was going to happen? I feel bad for the kid. I hope he uses it as motivation rather than getting down on himself.

Goodness gracious, what is it about utter incompetence that was passed down from Chiarelli to Benning?
