GDT: WCSF GAME. SEVEN. | Canucks @ Knights | 6:00 p.m. PST

[Just A Bit Outside]

GAME. SEVEN.

Greatest save and greatest goal in Canucks history in the same game.

 

[I am toxic]

Greatest save and greatest goal in Canucks history in the same game.

In a series full of great goals.

Looking at you Geoff Courtnall.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

The Canucks need to dig deep and have their best game of the season tonight. Let's put off our Judgement Day and impose one on Vegas instead!

 

[Flik]

Our forwards and defense will have to step up tonight as I don't think Demko can physically keep up his current level of play on a back to back. Winning this is going to require a full team effort, blocking shots, etc.

Oh and it'd be dope if the PP decided to show up for once.

 

[Flik]

Oh also: WIN DA TURD (series)!!!!

 

[kcunac]

I believe we will win. I'm sensing alot of frustration from Vegas.

If we lose, I will still be proud and satisfied with this season. Great sport to be in. So much better than being the favourite and blowing it (as per our history).

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Here's the Iron Goalie. 2-0 when posting this in the GDT. Canucks in 7

 

[GetFocht]

Biggest win of the series is the breakout of Demko, does it feel good to have a star goalie in the making that has performed.

 

[Jyrki21]

 

[Canucks LB]

OK I made it through the first obstacle today, I woke up

 

[LuLover96]

Do we call Demmer the Demigod or Thatcher the Snatcher?

 

[rypper]

Do we call Demmer the Demigod or Thatcher the Snatcher?

No, sorry.

 

[VanJack]

Two of the greatest goaltending performances in consecutive elimination games in team history. I said before game #6 that if Demko faced another 40-plus shot night, the Canucks probably weren't winning. But a 48-save goose-egg? Are you kidding me? The guy looked exhausted near the end of last night's game. What'll he have left in the tank for tonight?

This has to be one of the most lop-sided seven game series in recent playoff history. By whatever analytical or statistical yardstick you use, the Canucks should be buried by now. But here they are with a 'winner-take-all' game #7.

Canucks have to break through with some pp goals in game #7....because they're getting dominated five-on-five right now. But in a one-game playoff, who knows what will happen?

Thatcher Demko is the first rookie goalie to win each his first 2 career NHL playoff starts when his team was facing elimination since Jacques Plante in 1953.

For those who don’t recall 1953 that clearly:
1. Dwight Eisenhower was the US President.
2. The Robe and From Here to Eternity were the top grossing films.
3. Top 3 songs:

• 1. Where Is Your Heart - Percy Faith

• 2. Vaya Con Dios - Les Paul and Mary Ford

• 3. (How Much Is That) Doggie In the Window? - Patti Page

Vegas, atleast for me, has gone from a great story and likeable team (probably because of Fleury), to a team I really don’t like.

Starting with the head coach, just not a likeable bunch.

So it would be f***ing amazing if the Nucks somehow pulled this series out.

Vegas to me is like the 2011 Canucks. An absolutely arrogant cast of players that you hate. They can backup their bullshit with their skill and puck possession though which sucks. Many other team fans are catching on and rooting against them.

Hoping we win. I understand Vegas is a superior team and has a chip on their shoulder. They must feel immense pressure to get the job done after blowing another 3-1 series lead.

Maybe we get a team that is defeated and capitalize on it?

Or we get a team that is focused and determined to get it done?

How much do the Canucks have left in the tank?

 

[hellstick]

Ride or die tonight boys. Win or lose, it's been a lot of fun.

 

[BB06]

Includes both Series win as well

 

[thomaspalmer]

I would think a Game 7 calls for another J.T. Miller-esque pre-game lineup read to set the tone early.

 

[RussianRacket]

Not a stretch to call this game a must win imo

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Alright time for everyone’s pre-game day ritual.
Whatever worked for the last two games, take one for the team and do your due diligence.

Lets f***ing go.

okok sorry everyone. let the kiddo stay up way past his bedtime and watch last night. the other time we did that was st louis, game six.

but even with the earlier start today i don’t think i can let him watch that 2.5 hours of tv right before bed two nights in a row....

i’ll entertain arguments now....

 

[WetcoastOrca]

If you told me before the playoffs started that we’d beat the Wild, Blues and take Vegas to game 7 with Markstrom injured then I’d have asked what you were smoking.
Just play your hearts out and leave it all on the ice. That’s all I ask.

 

[VanCanFanEDM]

Am I the only guy thinking they need to start Domingue?! Demko looked spent in the third last night. I'd be for putting in any fresh legs I could, even Louie friggen Ericksen..
