dpn1 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The thing I like about Kole is he is a good goal scorer and he maybe an even better play maker. He is also a bit cocky and a great agitator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I think that Lind is why Madden got dealt. I think that Benning sees us having a heavy, talented, and fast top 9 going forward. Miller-EP-Boeser Pod-Hovat-Hoglander Virtanen-Gaudette-Lind ....In whatever order you see fit.... Who was Madden going to bounce from that list? I feel that Lind and Madden were both looking at the same slot. Lind is tracking the same or better at this point, and fits the physical mold that Benning is after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a waste on the Tofu deal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a waste on the Tofu deal. I don't think you need much of a sweetener to move Sutter, he is not a cap dump. Baer will be bought out or retire. Demko will be added to LE to move him. I personally love the Toffoli deal he is a great fit on the 1st line. If we miss the playoffs, it's cause Demko has been atrocious in his opportunity to prove himself. What a disappointment, he cost us 3 points on that trip. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a far more complete player than Goldy, but not sure we see him in Van next season. I see him as a tanner Pearson type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving up a goal in the first 30 seconds of a close game in the 3rd period in back to back games shows the same. He needs to show up and make a few big saves or this team is done.

It’s gross The fact that he was not ready to play in any of his 3 starts is a huge disappointment. He is 24 years old and has a chance to prove himself and was not ready to play. It is not lack of faith in ability, the ability to play is there, the willingness to compete was not. A huge part of that is be ready, he was not. That is not acceptable at this stage of the season.

He’s obviously been nervous since Marky has been down. It was absolutely NOTHING to do with a willingness to compete. He’s a rookie and the struggles have been more then normal. He’s going to fine because he’s gone through every level before this and has risen to the occasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agreed with your original post but saying that his willingness to compete wasn’t there is just such a far reach. None of us conducted a psychological assessment or interviewed Demko between periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Demko, looks over at the bench thinking " Wonder if Coach is calling a time out like that other game" Many Vancouver fans thinking "OMG Demko's confidence is shot, he's looking to the bench to get pulled" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second goal was one of the worst goals given up all season by a Canucks goalie. Edit: Back to Lind!
