As did many players on the team, he declined after that year and we never had the goalie position re-established again until Luongo came and that's a long time. The difference between the 1994 team and the 2010 team was that the '94 team overachieved because there were no expectations.
Cloutier was a very good goalie with severely fragile mental toughness. We have chased away goalies from here before though, I vividly remember the Potvin years...

well really, the biggest difference between the 94 team and last years team is. the 94 team made it to the finals through hard work and most importantly - heart. last years team was supposed to win based off talent and skill.
