I disagree.
Burke is by far the best GM in hockey, and made Vancouver a great team on and off the ice.
Naslund, Morrison, Bertuzzi may very well have been hockey's best line, and the Sedins with (insert anyone here) made for a high octane second line.
I found Vancouver to be probably the closest to being the best threat for a Canadian team to win Stanley's mug. A great mix of Canadian style, European style hockey, leaders, great locker room guys, rising young players, and a solid defence core.
Cloutier was clearly the problem.

Clearly he's right.
You can analyze the whole teams weakness, but in playoffs when you don't have realibable goaltending you are going to lose. Cloutier let in a few softy goals which costed his team to advance further into the playoffs.
When's the last time a team has won the cup with mediocore netminding.
