[VanJack]

Over the past couple of seasons, teams have won a Cup with some pretty ordinary goaltending. But losing Demko could be the 'worst case scenario' for the Canucks.

Is DeSmith better than Silvos?

DeSmith carrying us to wins against Nashville and Edmonton then Demko coming back for round 3 and the finals to cap it off is the plan here

Are we sure the MRI was after? If so, damn. Devastating

No one has the exact timeframe but I can't imagine he went for the MRI before skating.

 

[Icebreakers]

Demko does have a long injury history.

He had double hip surgery at age 20 9 years ago. That isn't normal.

Silovs is erratic at the AHL level

 

[Nucker101]

Is DeSmith better than Silvos?

I think so, I think this fanbase overrates Silovs

It was half-way through the game.

Alright, fair enough. Not sure why I remembered that differently.

You're right but the issue seems to be more of how the team plays in front of goalies not named Demko.

That’s a standard goalie surgery though. Improves flexibility in the butterfly. Tons of goalies get it

 

[Pacific Canuck]

If the team shows up, we can win with either goalie. We need to stay out of the box and play solid 5v5 hockey.

Other than the plane crashing or losing Hughes yes you're probably right

 

[FuzzyTitus]

Time to bring back Bruce and Kuzmenko and win games 7-6.

 

[Bgav]

Demko, or no Demko, Canucks putting up 5+ tonight

 

[Bgav]

Pred putting up 6+ lil bro

No chance cuz

 

[Baby Pettersson]

First playoffs in 9 years ruined because this guy can't f***ing stay healthy

Unbelievable

Go touch some grass bro.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Mods.

Please get Demko to sign up here so he can issue us a formal apology.

 

[Svencouver]

CDS is still better than a lot of other goalies left in the playoffs, but I'm certainly not as invested as I was before this news. Might just not be our year.

 

[potatowejj]

Crushing blow. f*** this shit.

 

[Svencouver]

In any case, this will show us what this group is made of. If they can't get up and give it their 100% for Demmer, I don't have much faith in them as a core. Win or lose, they need to elevate themselves for their teammate. Pettersson, you're up.

Tbh, those teams were stacked.
Canucks aren't a stacked team. They are a threat because they have a good team and had one of the best goalies active in the playoffs.

I mean lets be real, I wouldn't exactly consider the Canucks a 1A contender this season. Despite their record, I think they were a bit of an extended Cinderella story coming into the playoffs. NYR, Carolina, Florida, Colorado, Winnipeg, Boston, Toronto, Vegas, Edmonton, and Dallas are all probably more stacked "contenders" than the Canucks.

Canucks are reasonably deep, have an elite starting goalie, and the best defenseman in the league; but they dont have a truly elite top line (and especially not a truly elite top 6) like most of those teams. Our PP also lags behind the competition significantly. They still need a top 6 winger and a top 4 D, which are not insignificant pieces, to really be an elite team, imo

Tochett has a special way of talking to the media that just brings me comfort that things are going to be okay.
