Borvat Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 6 hours ago, Grape said: I'm wondering how a torn meniscus can be a 3-4 week recovery. That seems like a very generous timeline. I would've expected 6-8 weeks to be frank It is typically a 6 - 8 week recovery/healing time without surgery - check out any reputable medical website. I had surgery on mine and it was 8 weeks before I was close to 100%. Being a butterfly style goalie I really don't see how it can be 3 - 4 weeks unless it is a small tear and they can remedy it with minor arthroscopic surgery. Then I could see it potentially being a shorter recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knee meniscus on a goalie! Ha ha ha! Marky is friggin’ done. No playoffs and no picks. Nicely done. God I live my team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disgruntler Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yeah, I think this season's likely over. Who knows though, maybe the stars align? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the team bunkers down and plays better team D. If they did it would be a blessing in disguise. Marky comes back and we're playing better in front of our goalies as we approach playoffs Perhaps it is too much wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury proneness will probably reduce his contract, though I don't think one injury will have a significant effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GritGrinder Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Ironically the playoffs start 6 weeks from tonight...pray that Demko stays healthy because I don't see a tandem of Louis D. and Mikey D. going on a magical run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the NHL has this archaic injury secrecy thing that goes back decades. In the other 3 leagues you know exactly what kind of injury a player has, when and what kind of surgery/procedure is needed and a fairly accurate timeline, hell you even know the doctor in some cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 It would seem that Marky’s +22 was covering up for a fair amount of roster weaknesses and the occasionally questionable coaching decision. That +22 represents about a dozen wins this season that the Canucks probably wouldn’t have gotten with league average goaltending. Captain Obvious: I guess having the league’s best netminder was a factor in this team’s ability to compete for the division lead this season. Of course there are other factors. It makes sense that we’re getting some bad bounces now, as we benefited from quite a few lucky breaks in many of our wins earlier in the season. These things tend to average out over the full 82 games. Same goes for missed calls/bad calls. Once they realized the Canucks were leading the league in power play opportunities, you knew the zebras would feel the need to put their fingers on the scale. But mostly, we’re just seeing how much our MVP meant to this team. Simply put, Marky was the best goalie in the NHL in 2019-20, up until his injury. He probably won’t win any league awards (mostly because of the antiquated stats that generally are still used to determine goaltending quality), but he undoubtedly deserves the Vezina this year, and probably the Hart at well. Tough break losing him (understatement of the year), but I suppose the bright side is that we get the opportunity to actually see how much he means to the team, and a reality check on where this roster is without him.

Elias Pettersson Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 And people still think he is going to sign for $5 to $6 million. If he was actually going to sign for that amount wouldn't Benning have already re-signed him? The reason why he hasn't re-signed yet is because Markstrom wants to be paid among the highest goalies in the league. As a UFA he has all the negotiation power. And the more we fall out of a playoff spot the bigger that number gets for Marky. It is going to go up around $500k per week. So if we miss the playoffs then that $6 million offer is going to be north of $8 million. I can see Buffalo and Detroit going after him hard. They got millions in cap space. Detroit is known for its Swedish players and Buffalo has Dahlin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was actual talk however, that the Canucks wanted to sign Marky for a shorter term deal but he wanted longer. Nothing to panic about....unless you want to go to the coronaivirus thread --> tons to panic about there!! Even if your panicky statement was correct, if Marky did get 6 million per year, that would make him one of the NHL's highest paid goalies: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiquette (founder/owner of CSA) has the numbers: As Woodley was explaining most observers/GMs simply look at SV% and GAA and ignore context. Will be interesting to see what happens with his contract. Edited March 3, 2020 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Wow, Cory is getting 6mill. for playing in the AHL as a backup. 9th on that list Sounds worse than our Loui contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliboy Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If we don't re-sign him I will be very concerned about next season, no way I would just hand it over to Demko. They would have to bring in another top notch goalie, if available, and then what would that cost, better to just write the cheque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
