He HAD been having a excellent playoffs until then. That goal destroyed his confidence and the rest of the series he just wasnt the same. His lack of playoff success is why Van sent him packing eventually.
im glad that wont happen to us again since we've got lui and even if he leaves next year after his contract runs out we have schneider =) lol i cant believe cloutier sucked so bad .. we thought he was better then cause he was hot but i guess not .
I remember that goal. The Canucks were winning the series until that goal was scored, then everything fell apart. I liked Cloutier, but he just wasn't good enough.
Canucks had a great year that time around.. They won the first 2 games of that series with Detroit (the hottest team in the league) IN Detroit... All they had to do was win 2 at home and they were on to the next round. But noooo Cloutier sucks ass and lost 4 in a row.
Now we have Roberto Luongo and things are changing.
Vancouver had that series, until that goal! Cloutier was a great fighter. We just wasn't a great backstop. Canucks fans, you won't have to worry about a goalie for quite a while! I hate you guys!
We are going to make it next year our offense just got better with: Isbister, Ritchie, and all those guys and defense: Ohlund, Salo Miller, and all those guys
The goal that sank the Canucks to playoff futility and made Dan Cloutier a douchebag when it comes to pulling it in the clutch in the playoffs. He did shut down St.Louis the next year but couldn't shut down Minnesota...
The only goalie that resembles this fool is Marty Turco..he has good regular seasons but chokes the big monkey balls in the playoffs..
The greatest goalies out there have proven themselves when it counts, and thats in the playoffs! Cloutier was a god in regular season a couple sesasons ago, but in the playoffs, he for some reason could never pull it off. That goal sealed the Canucks fate back then, and he coudln't shut down the Wild the year after. He was great during the season, but he dissapointed when they needed him the most. Lets just hope that Luongo can do what Cloutier coudln't.
That goal by no means sealed the Canucks` fate. That goal made it 2-1 Wings, in the second period of game 3; at that point, the Canucks were up 2-0 in the series.
What sealed the Canucks` fate was dropping that game and the next 3 in a row.
All goalies have bad bounces. Osgood took several in the 1998 cup run.
Lets be honest here people. Cloutier is a good goalie during the regular season. The Problem is his playoff performence. He still has time to improve on that and I wish him good luck in L.A.
omg you guys you better STFU before I track you down with hound dogs. Cloutier is a GREAT goalie and just because he let in that stupid goal doesnt mean he lets in stupid goals all the time, so you better SHUT UP.
are you just reminicing on his bad games? cloutier wasn't a consistent goalie; he had good days and bad days but when his head was into it, he was great. i'm not gonna take back what i said two years ago.
cloutier is the best goalie the canucks have had since mclean. over 100 wins for the canucks, dominating in the regular season but not a single fucking person shows an ounce of gratitude. i hope either luongo refuses to sign or fucks up worse then garth snow
YEa!! thats my boy rite thur. Seven NHL all-first team selections, 4 time norris trophy winner, 3 time stanley cup winner, conn smythe trophy winner. THE BEST
I have that stick he is carrying, signed by him hahahaha
