Happened in game? Or at practice or what?

 

[pomx]

Well it was fun while it lasted , GG

 

[Peasy]

Oof...

 

[Rowlet]

Happened in game? Or at practice or what?

Allegedly treated for something after G1

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Didn't he just come back from an injury absence?

 

[LeafsNation149]

Canucks season is over

 

[Bobby9]

Well, this is just an opportunity for all the players to show they can win without him.

Time to show everybody what you’re made up. Up and down the line up.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Oh god dammit. Everything was going so well.... Times were so fun...

 

[banks]

So sorry, VAN fans. Seriously.

Injuries are a part of the game (a part that totally sucks). So it's next man up time. DeSmith can be the man.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Edmonton has a glorious chance now

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Well it was fun while it lasted , GG

Eh, we’ve seen backups put together 3+ good games before. I think it can kinda throw the opponent off- all this prep for the main dude, and it gets in your head if the backup starts hot.

Didn't he just come back from an injury absence?

That’s the real concern- that it’s a lingering thing.

 

[BonMorrison]

They'll be fine this round. Next one is a concern though.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Didn't he just come back from an injury absence?

Yeah. A knee injury

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Absolute worst case scenario. Gutted.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

They'll be fine this round. Next one is a concern though.

Have you watched Casey DeSmith?

 

[Szechwan]

Pretty much the only player you can't afford to lose. Absolutely brutal.

 

[Devilsfan118]

What a nightmare.

 

[thefutures]

All she wrote

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

This is brutal news.

DeSmith threw in the odd terrific game this year, but any time he had a run of games, he'd start to break down. Hope's he got his best ready to go, here.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

RIP in pepperoni .

 

[Bgav]

Canucks luck is undefeated

 

[herzausstein]

Nashville has a storied history of making backups looking like Vezina finalist.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Picked Nashville in my bracket but do not want them to win this way (if they win). That sucks

 

[LemonSauceD]

Vancouver has checked out of the playoffs, bye guys
