Demand for Coronavirus vaccine shots will skyrocket in the US (in GOP states). Thank you Mr Poutine the real head of the GOP party.

I'm guilty of doing this as well (overemphasis on mistakes - real or not) but *ALL* GM's make mistakes. Some obviously make more than others (that's what separate the average ones from the really good ones).

I just want Holtby to play respectable enough so Seattle selects him. Serves several purposes. One, to get that 4+ million cap hit off our books next season. Two, means a player likely more impactful on the Canucks *long-term* doesn't get selected by Seattle. And three, it means, in the near term, the Canucks benefit to hopefully challenge/win a spot in this season's playoffs. Four, it'll give Demko more rest time. I wouldn't have any other goalie in the NHL than Demko playing for us. A well rested Demko playing at the top of his game, always gives us a chance (and I don't mean a Jim Carey chance).
-
Demko is the reason we are on this 'hot streak'. If he continues like this, I could see him getting some Vezina votes (I'm serious).
-
He's vet paid good money. You woudn't think he'd have to prove himself. But he's a sunk cost now & you're right, have to avoid Demko being overworked. Just wish we had a reliable backup. Or at least go with a cheap backup & spend the money on a decent depth D (to give old guys like Elder a rest as well)

Adam Gaudette. Apollo tells Newbie to lighten up!

Jim Benning is like Batman. With sufficient 'prep time' he can take down Superman or even Darkseid.

Can We Just Talk About Demko For A Minute Here...
NewbieCanuckFan replied to -DLC-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Goaltending development has been a continued source of strength for the Canucks going back to the Nonis/Burke years; running thru several changes in management (and ownership). ALL the GM's in this period can take credit for this. Even the much miligned Cloutier was pretty respectable during the regular season. It's not like we had a top 10 overall pick as a goalie (ala Fleury). -
Both those franchises were on that road before the current studios drove them off the cliff. I still loathe the SW prequels (saying they're miles better than the last few movies isn't saying much). Star trek Nemesis was garbage. Still, put in the hands of the right creative person (John Favreau) proves that a movie franchise can return to it's former glory. Just my opinion though.

What I want to really know is what happened with Jester12?

Motte was like that at first. Hopefully he'll get better. -
Green tended to lean on his vets on the Comets as well. He doesn't have the job security as Jim Benning so it's hard to blame him for wanting to protect his job leaning on vets for the Canucks as well.
