Demko injured and potentially out for rest of series UPDATE: Demko is done?

[LOFIN]

Lots of over reaction here. Nashville isn’t the Avs or Oilers. They can’t score as much so as long as their back up is average, they should be fine.

Sure, but I would be scared shitles as a Canucks fan over his availability throughout the rest of the playoffs. "Potentially done for the series" could mean the next 3 games. Or the next 8 games, spilling over to rd2.

Apparently it's a new injury and not the same knee injury that kept him out last month

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Maybe they can tread water until he gets ready

 

[Nemesis Prime]

It's joever

 

[JKG33]

Edmonton has a glorious chance now

LA winning and Vegas losing on the last day of the season was a tragedy

 

[Lawzy]

Franchise is cursed.

 

[Oilslick941611]

That sucks for Canucks fans.

 

[Captain34]

Not a Canucks fan, but man oh man, this is so unfair, particularly because the Canucks have such a good team and the West is wide open. Hoping for a quick recovery.

 

[nucks88]

Damn that's rough, maybe rushed back from his previous injury.

I still think they handle NSH

Not the same injury so there’s that……..

 

[McFlyingV]

I recall one play in the game where he had to maintain the splits to make a save and might have had someone fall on him and he looked slow to get up. Thats a huge loss for Vancouver.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

we can spot you a Dan Blackburn with 2 blockers.

Someone refresh my memory, but was it Demko who did the 'splits' and made an incredible toe save a few nights ago?

Do facts and stats matter anymore, or do we just spew nonsense that was relevant over a decade ago? Vancouver finished 6th in the league in goals for per game at 3.40

Nashville finished 10th at 3.35 goals per game.

While the Preds have been historically bad against backup goalies in the playoffs, it's not 2011 anymore

Yeah...

 

[ranold26]

I actually feel bad for the Canucks and their fans.

 

[NVious]

Won't matter when JT Miller puts up oneof his patented 10 goal games to offset Threein Jarry

Yup, hearing it's a penis contusion

Yeah we're the second highest scoring team since the All Star break too.

Was hoping for a 'Couver vs 'Peg showdown.

 

[Pure West]

Well, at least Sunday night was fun. Spotted a 1-0 lead in our series we may still have a good shot at winning this series, but any chance of a deeper run is toast without Demko. No way imaginable that we beat Edmonton without him that's for sure. I'm going to cry now.

[Canucks LB]

What the f***k

On the plus side, I have almost no expectations now for the rest of the playoffs. Hope our backups can channel the same energy Demko had in his start in 2020.
