Recently, consecutive three losses to LA x2 and Vegas has many fans doom posting and panicking.
Many claiming that this team can’t beat playoffs teams without elite goaltending.
That is simply not true, the main reason why they lost those three games was atrocious goaltending.
A save % of .80 .84 and .79 from DeSmith. not to mention the momentum crushing performance of always letting in a goal right after the team had pulled one back.
It's almost like beacase this team had been carried my Demko's elite performance in the past couple years for way too long. now people (esepically the meida) are afrraid to point out the obvious flaw during this stretch.
Hell, even Silvos who just beat Vegas yesterday, did not have a good game at all. I saw some people praising his performance which drives me crazy. Sure he had a much better second half but his save % of .87 does not lie about the fact that he had a bad game.
If the Canucks had at least league average goaltending for the past 5 games, the division would had been locked by now
