These guys are good goalies, they just need more support from the defence

[@eeeeeeeev]

They should show video of Baumer teaching the defense his structure and gameplan. oh wait. he doesnt have one.

[@alexe606]

Both Goalies are playing well. Canucks just have yet to learn the basic concepts of Defence

[@fnosplix9199]

Agree lol

[@roosta6948]

I feel bad for holtby, poor guys save percentage.

[@ranjodhsidhu9240]

I don’t blame the goalies right now the Canucks need to step up in their defence and offence

[@LukasDavies]

Weve looked better recently but the first like 8 games the running theme was hey lets throw muffins up the centre of the ice from behind our own net right to the other team lol

Need more Ian Clark content!

[@NickTheGoalie_1]

Ian Clark the goalie whisper! Love the goalie videos!

[@Baynton8r]

Ian is potentially the best goalie coach in the game. He created the beast Markstrom is today and the progress Demko has shown against Vegas is the potential growth he has yet to obtain consistently, small blimps so far that are easy to reassess and improve. Biggest weakness for the team is our lack of capitalizing on the power play, even-strength neutral ice possession, entrance to offense zone, and defensive giveaways. If we can improve for this season and pick up someone to fill our gaps perfect, if not just look to get Shane Wright or Jack Hughes for draft. Lacking the 2 way player of Toffoli and Markstrom is showing how bad we lack a strong double defense pairing (back in the ol days with Jovanaski/Ohlund or Mitchell/Bieksa) and got caught up in contracts of Luongo, Eriksson, and arguably Virtanen.

[@prosportsclips5564]

hes good but Mitch Korn is an absolute legend and nobody can beat him. Without him, you would not see Lehner, Holtby, Grubauer, etc... in the NHL as of now.

[@rollinmdma]

This is amazing he is so intelligent and this shows how hard the goalies really work.

[@ajyu7289]

Clark's an absolute wizard of a goalie coach. KEEP HIM!

[@trav4oilers]

Some seriously amazing details in this, Ian Clark reminds me a lot of Steve McKichan. All business all the time

[@BugEyes330]

I was around Ian in the early 90s, Sicamous BC, Evolved into GDI around the world. I trained under him and even worked for him over the years. Nothing like hand written evaluation night lol. He’s first class guy and coach. Couldn’t even fathom how many young goaltenders he’s worked with over the years. Great job Ian 👍

[@julianneleung3328]

This was really interesting to watch. And seeing/hearing Ian work with both Demko and Holtby was nice.

[@SchwillenMusic]

Hardest part of these drills is remembering the order of the movements loll

[@Baynton8r]

As a fellow goaltender it's more so perfecting the consistency of positioning/sliding duo and the stamina rather than the order. But if you're just starting I agree with you

[@Morgan_T31]

I’ve seen this so many times the saves are just satisfying

[@robertsagest9552]

I have no issues with the goaltending. Asking them to be Markstrom is unfair. I wanna make a point to the commentators that keep saying "we need a big save from these guys once in a while" That is usually fair, but when we're losing be 4, how many big saves can we ask for?

[@jaymewillett1675]

And now demko is a vezina finalist and was the savior of the team this season

[@heedlessed7952]

Wow, we cannot lose this coach, he is truly a master of his craft. Great work, Ian!

that guy knows goaltending! (& how to coach it

[@nemtall]

Were did the goalie coach play or train? he can skate well .

[@user-ix2po8gw9e]

In my opinion, you need to pay attention to the position of Goalie glove; back tilt while standing; clubs; synchronous rotation of the body, head, arms. Skating: due to the technical element, you can accelerate the movement several times, etc.

[@the6ig6adwolf]

I hope Seattle doesn't take Holtby and he sticks around for another season.

[@hillbillyboxingleague8435]

Seattle will, then the Canucks will probably sign a another vet goalie

[@pablocanuck9]

[@pinoyboi8719]

Instead of Holtby teaching Demko Its Demko teaching Holtby😂

[@allghilliedup21]

MAnagement needs to do whatever it takes to keep Clark long-term no matter what. If he leaves then we're fucked. KEEP HIM AT ALL COSTS!!!

[@mattmelnyk8848]

Make sure you teach Holtby to HUG THE DANG POST!!!

[@maximem.ste-marie3578]

what is up with that kind of skating when they are "jiggling"/"jerking" their right foot when backing--up or going side to side ? (ex : 1:11) ?

[@misternobodysixtynine]

Holtby must be deeply thinking, "what kind of mess did i get myself into?"

[@AzNightmare]

*One reason Holtby signed with Vancouver was because he wanted Clark to coach him.*

[@cgirrelevence3325]

thatcher is the new goalie and the future of the Canucks holt by is a short contract. Probably wont be extended.

[@nachim3487]

Did nobody realize that it says thatcher Demko when it’s Patrick Demko

[@nhlgoalhornsandsoccersongs7942]

It’s the goalie coach not defensive.

I find it interesting that the league once again is screwing us. We have played more games that any other team in the league. keeping us tired and on our heals. And not by just a couple.....many, to most teams, have played less than 12 games. Some as few as 9..give me a break. The Canucks have the toughest schedule in the league....and I'm to believe this is coincidence....NOT !

You have to start teaching them to stay on there feet😠 show me one save in the past 10 years were the goalie wasn't on there knees just after a shot on net. STAY ON YOUR FEET UNLESS THERE 2 FEET IN FRONT OF YOUR NET!

[@samuelhogg537]

His use of the word ‘we’ is very distracting

[@steviej359]

Holtby is a substantial downgrade from Markstrom, just the facts. Still confident Demko has the skill to mature into a bona fide #1

[@lucifermorningstar3709]

Holtby deserved better in free agency. Yikes

[@sportysbusiness]

This is excellent but I can't get my head around why on earth he is wearing a face mask in an ice rink. Other than breathing in the toxins his body is trying to expel, just what does he think it will do? We live in a bizarre society where common sense seems to have gone out of the window. I've seen young children wearing masks, even though the science is clear they do not stop viruses but they do cause breathing issues as the CO2 builds up, and they do help keep people in a state of fear, depressing our immune system.
