Player Discussion Thatcher Demko

[Kryten]

Anyone see the back of Demkos mask? For one he has the Gaudreau Brothers initials on the back which is very classy of him.
He also has the Canucks retired banners on the back, Smyl, Linden, Bure, Naslund and the Sedins. While someone wearing a Luongo jersey is staring at the open spot for a banner. I'm guessing this is Demkos way of insinuating Luongos name should be in there amongst the Canucks greatest aswell.

Pretty neat

Too bad #1 is McLean who Id rank higher

Not that I start anything... but Luongo was the far superior goaltender.

As a massive Captain Kirk fan, this is absolutely true. No competition.

I love McLean

The first player I ever met. Superb human being, coolest looking goalie ever. Steps it up in the playoffs. Captain Kirk is my second favorite Canuck of all time.

To add, I also think Luongo is Vancouvers best goaltender of all time. He shattered most of Vancouvers goaltending records, and Demkos mask insinuating that Luo's name should be in the rafters, it's probably right. Luo's name should be up there.

For their eras. They were both amazing. Kirk was a master at stand up with his small gear and heavy pads with the fastest reflexes. Roberto was in that last group of elite goalies that isnt a thing anymore.

Luongo was a better goalie than McLean, period. I'm not slighting Captain Kirk, Luongo was just that good.
But comparing their respective SC runs... McLean's was superior.
