fanfor42 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 If the Canucks can somehow manage to sneak into the playoffs you gotta love our chances to be giant killers in the first round with Demko playing like this. Nobody is gonna want to face him in the playoffs. A goalie can get into an opposing team's heads and cause chaos. Love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I did a look at my assessment for Vezina candidates today and Demko came out 8th. For context, when I did this at the 1/4 mark of the season, I didn't even consider Demko in my assessment, which shows how strong he's been since December. Since Boudreau took over, Demko has had an 11-4-1 record and a .936 save percentage. For those curious, my top three were Markstrom, Jarry, and Shesterkin, in that order.

In the case of the Nucks, the goalie is the best player on our team. So... if Demko wins a game because of his extraordinary skills, how is it any different from other teams reporting their best player (Matthews, McD, Mackinnon, etc) won the game? It's a team game. A win is a win, regardless who the starring player is. I actually strongly agree with this. Few things irritate me more than people discrediting wins due to a strong goaltender. The most common one I hear is the discredit of our run to game 7 of the second round in 2020. Even though Demko carried us, we still earned it by winning enough games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We can't rely on a vezna goalie every game". Hell yeah we can. We took the time and assets to invest in a goalie. Other teams didn't. If that's the case the Bruins can't rely on Thomas to win a cup. Boom. Just like that we're the 2011 Stanley Cup champions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Bruce, there it is" chant is overly used and should never be used in the first or second period. I'm fine with the chant when we have reasonable lead with the game close to over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Demko starting to let in some average goals and let in more than usual since the Calgary drubbing. I do worry that Bruce is going to ride him hard because we don't have a good back-up option and maybe just not practice him, and hope this doesn't derail him completely. Ideally I'd like to see us get rid of/press-box Halak and bring Spencer Martin up - I think the guys would trust him based on how well he played for us, because I really don't want to see Demko play every single of the final games, and putting Halak in net for those back-to-backs will end up with >5 goals against yet again. Demko's never played this many games before, we can't forget that he's still learning and I hope we don't exhaust him because the last few games haven't been great by any means. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
