Post-Game Talk: Kings def. Canucks - 6-3 (Boeser, Joshua, Blueger) | Wherefore art thou, Demko?

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Well, nuts.

Didn’t actually think we had a terrible game. And 3 goals against LA is usually enough to get it done. But the continuing struggles of the PP, some early penalties, and some tough goaltending and defensive breaks did us in.

Let me guess, DeSmith’s fault????

Certainly couldn’t be the special teams fault. Nope. No chance.

 

[Kryten]

Dont deserve a div title

DeSmith's SV% in the last 14 games:

• .778
• .857
• .944
• 1.00
• .882
• .917
• .882
• .941
• .917
• .842
• .939
• .800
• .793

The Canucks have played like shit recently, but come on. Every time the Canucks score a goal, he lets in one almost immediately. He just KILLS any momentum when he's playing. Out of those 14 games, he won 5. Out of those 5 games, how many did he steal, 1 of them?

Those 5 wins:
Calgary
Montreal
Buffalo
Winnipeg
Anaheim

this might be crazy to believe but there can be multiple reasons for losses

Pretty sure there’s enough blame to go around here…

 

[dez]

Dont care about the L, the fact you don't send a message or push back after Hughes hit is worrisome.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Even with Demko, this team is done in Round 1.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Thank f*** we didn't trade our 2025 1st rounder. We are a Demko injury away from being a crap team.

Team also has no balls. Legitimate cowards for not standing up for Hughes or responding with some shithousery in these losses.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Better team would have won if Demko was in net. Not worried one bit!

 

[EpochLink]

f*** Casey DeAss, horrible

 

[SiZ]

They let Moore run their captain and star player in the numbers in a game that's already over, and no response. Playoff teams don't do this.

 

[Chaos Giraffe]

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I honestly think it would've been a close game with Demko in net.

 

[Bobby9]

How’s that superstar 12 M dollar forward of ours playing?
Taking over games?
Helping come back from a defecit?
Throwing a big hit?
Starting a fight to rally his team?

Nah, he’s moping around the ice like he shit his pants nice Naslund.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

You know what would have been even more nice than not letting 6 goals in? Having 3 beautiful shots go in on undisciplined play coming out against a potential first round matchup.

The entire team said “no no please LA we insist have this 2 pts”

 

[PG Canuck]

Pretty sure there’s enough blame to go around here…

Yeah some of it is definitely on @M2Beezy

Yea a lot of it was. Doesn't excuse the poor effort in front of him but 3 goals on 6 shots deflated the team. Is it too much to ask to make a timely save? He is not a NHL caliber goalie.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Guys we will be fine come playoffs. We will look back at these games and laugh. Let's just enjoy these games.

Go Canucks Go!

Been the Canuck way for years. Hard to watch .

 

[mathonwy]

Getting swept by the Kings again would suck.

Edit. 4-1

 

[Joe Rogan]

Only guy that stood up for the captain getting cheapshotted was Boeser. Gutless clowns. If your limp special teams aren't doing anything at least start running the other team. This team is out in 5 in the first round

 

[Lawzy]

I think I deserve a shot on the power play. Couldn't possibly be any worse, right?

Go through any other backup in the leagues last few games and I guarantee you’ll find a common theme.

 

[Petey O]

What's the Canucks' record when he's present in GDTs calling out commercials vs when he's not?

I think this one might have been on him. Just

 

[PG Canuck]

Welp there goes the division
