GDT: WCQF GM02 | Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators | Tue. Apr 23rd | 7:00PM PST | SNP/CBC | Great State of Dakota

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

No one should be doubting Tocchet for the next 2 or 3 years at least. He's demonstrated a level of poise, intelligence, and leadership that's becoming rarer and rarer behind the bench these days. Just look at the coaching carousel going on around the league and recognize how good we have it. He'll win the Adams and he'll deserve it.

I still think we can win this series with DeSmith but it's gonna probably take 7 games now.

If Demko isn't 100% healthy for Round 2, we're done for. Easy WCF appearance for the Oilers.

Saw a post on the main boards that gave me hope for today at least:

"If the leafs can win with Samsonov, no reason Vancouver can’t win with desmith"

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

If DeSmith blows in Game 2, cue Demko for Game 3:

 

[sting101]

im gonna go out on a limb tonight and predict the team that scores the most will probably win.

 

[VanillaCoke]

I wouldn't have started demko the last meaningless game of the year

 

[sting101]

We should bring in the Vegas doctors

Samsonov is horrible lol.

Thinking about it, they probably should have tried to conceal the fact that Demko's out for as long as possible. Maybe they tried to do this and it got leaked, but it'd be nice to not let Nashville look at video on DeSmith before the game.

Tocchet is so good at calming down the media storm. Everyone is running around saying different things, he's basically telling them "f***ing relax" without actually saying it.

 

[Slapshot_11]

They should've acted like everything was normal then everyone finds out last min of game 2 instead of giving the preds time to scout desmith

Media noticed when he wasn't on the ice this morning I think. It's something that's going to get out whether the Canucks say so or not.

Tocchet was made to coach this team

McDrai would torch DeSmith on the PP

Guys elevate their games in the playoffs. No reason to think DeSmith can't do the same

 

[ProviesGhost]

I think so, I think this fanbase overrates Silovs

Agree, but somehow it is easier when a rookie lets in a softie

 

[aquaweenie]

I was upset and worried about Thatchers injury until I saw what mama Demko had to say Now I’m all in! Let’s go!!! Win it for the Demko family!

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Casey or Arturs?

 

[DimitriL07]

Atleast Kes will b in the Barn tonight

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Demko with one knee and no groin is better than half the goalies in the playoffs.

[geebster]

Man I have never had less faith. Without Demko I don't see us doing anything. This isn't a Marky going down situation where we got a secret upgrade.

 

[nucks88]

Petey - now is your time to shine. Do something pls

Thanks,I needed a laugh……

 

[mossey3535]

I just heard that Demko is out...man I'm so bummed out.

I'd hoped he had played enough games at the end
