Confirmed with Link: [VAN/NJ] Canucks acquire G Louis Domingue for G Zane McIntyre

[PavelBure10]

Good trade now that Markstrom went down to injury. Domingue is a good depth goalie to have.

 

[Svencouver]

He was injured in min but played the full game against Boston?

If true, my God this team and injury management.

Literally every single time lmao. Every single individual who let our players do this can be sued for all I care

 

[Catamarca Livin]

This man Jim Benning has to be the luckiest people in hockey lol

If they make the playoffs on the back of Demko he will get praised for his drafting

If they miss the playoffs, he now has the excuse of his #1 goalie being injured

Yeh great luck for New Jersey not for Canuck Manager.

 

[Cancuks]

This will be a blessing in disguise. Demko is our future #1. Markstrom will just cost us a lot of money and we would've regretted signing him and trading away Demko. Now the decision will be much easier. A shame that Benning couldn't have seen the writing on the wall when Markstrom wouldn't re-sign for a short term deal that made sense and traded him for picks. But the hockey gods are on our side for once and bumbling Jim will have fumbled himself into the right decision when Markstrom walks and we have cap to re-sign Toffoli now.

 

[Fire Benning]

Dhaliwal is saying Markstrom out 1 month

 

[hellstick]

Nice trade, Domingue is good depth and we got him for nothing. Good player to get for the stretch drive, hopefully Markstrom is healthy enough to play soon.

 

[I am toxic]

cursed franchise

This.

"Wow, we really screwed them on the Juolevi pick."

"Yeah, but let's face it, true despair is when you have hope - and it gets dashed."

"Good point - let's give them not just Petey, but Hughes as well, then have Marky play out of his mind so they are leading the division at the TDL - and then BOOM! No more Marky!"

"I love it - almost as good as dangling game 7 in '94 and again in 2011. Messin' with Canucks fans these days is the most devilish thing since we had Gretzkebub absolutely demolish them all through the '80's."

- overheard from a couple Hockey Gods heading to the bar, chortling

 

[EpochLink]

Let’s go Demko!!!!

You got this dude

 

[DaBadGuy316]

 

[UK Canuck]

well Thatcher, your time is now

 

[M2Beezy]

Oh f*ck.

Thats EXACTLY what i was thinking

 

[The Stig]

Does this mean we can Luuuuu when he makes saves?

 

[Zombotron]

Does this mean we can Luuuuu when he makes saves?

Please do.

 

[Zombotron]

Miller gets one of his TBL teammates from last season

 

[M2Beezy]

Dhaliwal is saying Markstrom out 1 month

His tweet is saying 3-4 weeks so looks like noone knows, hopefully theres some CLEAR answers SOONER then later here Cookie Man

4 weeks is 1 month broski

 

[M2Beezy]

4 weeks is 1 month broski

LOL o yeah forgot it was February

 

[Cupless44]

A good chance to see what Thatcher can do before the Canucks spend a ton of money on Markstrom with cap issues. If Demko steps up and shines and shows the pedigree we have always thought he has, then maybe you let Markstrom walk and keep the younger, cheaper goalie.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

It’s only a month, we’ll be fine. Demko is more than capable of being a starter and Louis is a solid backup

Vezinal level goaltending, gone due to injuries:

"But the hockey gods are on our side for once"

And people say I am tox . . . oh, wait . . .

 

[The Stig]

Please do.

I cannot overstate how much I love this

 

[President of Hockey]

Surprised we didn't at least throw in a late round draft pick. I mean we still have 5 of those for this year...

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Whelp... we really needed to see what Demko can do. Now we will.

 

[dombrova22]

Well, if I'm being honest.. we are probably f***ed.

With that said, now is your time to take the job Demko. No pressure kid..... who am I kidding, all the f***ing pressure in the world is on him. Good luck.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

He was injured in min but played the full game against Boston?

If true, my God this team and injury management.

Benning is saying it happened in the Boston game, but they're not sure when.

The Minnesota thing was Andrew Walker spinning BS on Twitter.
