Sportsnet (Ian MacIntyre) is reporting itWhere is the shoulder and knee stuff coming from? Is it speculation or is there a source?
after reading @F A N 's post in the other thread, i figure that all these years of showing the butterfly position to goalies has taken its toll on his hips
Ya. There shouldn't be too much games played wear and tear but he's getting up there in age. We see that he does get down on his knees and showing the movements when he's coaching. Being involved in the day to day is more work.Yeah, it's called getting old.![]()
I think the lucky ones are able to walk around and do everything day activities without pain. Luongo has put on the pads since retiring too.He's been coaching since about 2000, when he was around 34/35. Prior to that, the only thing I could find was that he played for UBC in 87/88 as a teenager. Can't find if he was playing goalie at some other level until he was mid to late 20's.
I wonder how the likes of Roy, Hasek, Fuhr, Moog, Vernon are as they would be late 50's to mid 60's now.
Thank you.Sportsnet (Ian MacIntyre) is reporting it

What we know — and don't know — about state of Canucks' goaltending
The Canucks turned heads when they announced that Ian Clark had requested re-assignment away from day-to-day coaching duties. Iain MacIntyre breaks down what we know, and what we don't, about the Canucks' goaltending situation heading into 2024-25.www.sportsnet.ca
The fact that Demko begged Benning in a zoom call to bring back Clark is nuts. Stupid ass GM is stupidSportsnet (Ian MacIntyre) is reporting it

That makes total sense. Too bad because he's been so incredible for our organization in that role. But I have faith that the new guy will be great, sounds like he's worked with some of the best.Woodley didn’t say exactly what it it is but said that Clark believes the goalie needs to be the hardest worker on the team and he includes himself in that. He’s 60 and all of that has taken a toll and he’s had a ton of procedures. Can’t remember if he mentioned hips or knees but yeah, just life time of hard goalie stuff is basically what he said
They should give him a directorial role and create a goaltending department under him if they havent already
Absolutely!.....Clarke went to Allvin and requested the change in position, and outlined his physical limitations in getting out on the ice every day. What's the GM going to do--say 'no'?I think people are trying to find controversy when there isn't any.
Clarke asked for the change. He wanted a different, lesser role. It's not a big deal he's not the director of goaltending anymore.
I always assumed that Ian Clark got some credit for how far Arturs Silovs came as a goaltender last season. I guess as the Canucks head goaltending consultant, the does get some credit.
But the guy who worked with him day in and day out in Abbotsford last season was Marko Torenius. So I suppose he can also take a bow for Nikita Tolopilo, who also had a strong first season in the AHL. In fact, if you gauge it by stats, Tolopilo might had a better season than even Silovs.
Have to really wonder how the Leafs furtunes might've changed had they went with the other goalie prospect they had.2005 World Junior legend Justin Pogge, then once hyped Leafs goaltending prospect.

They traded him for Andrew Raycroft.
