This is a good, feisty team. Gotta be up there in the league for teams with different players that have fighting majors. I count 10 different players. I remember someone gave me a confused emoji when I said Miller was more than capable to respond haha We don’t even know what this group is capable of come playoffs. I can’t wait. I believe Demko will get us there Edited February 25, 2020 by Devron44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bad alice french Posted February 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) If we can't win games with Thatcher then we have no business being in the playoff hunt at all. Last couple weeks many of us were pondering under our breath the feasibility of letting Marky walk this off season and using his cap hit elsewhere in the line up. This is a golden opportunity for Demko to show us what he's got and I believe he will rise to the occasion. We are all behind you Thatch!

High and Inside Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 One Louis is enough we didn’t need to acquire another one! This guys numbers this year are pretty awful. I do have a lot of faith in Thatcher however as his numbers are only a tick behind Markstroms and it’s not always easy being a backup and not being in a normal rythym.

This is the year they became a team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Time for the team to dig in. They all have a vote of confidence from the GM. We are blessed to have a great back up in Demko. And now we have a good back up to the back up. The management of this team wants to win now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 For me, the thing elephant in the room that's getting overlooked is how much confidence Clarkie and JB must have in MikeyD. This move (and the Bachman move) says the the Comets are his team and his team alone. His development is going to be the determining factor for where they go with goalies and the ED.

Most teams don't try and limit a player's career and he's already 27. He has mostly struggled in the NHL for them so he wasn't really an option to backup Blackwood and they've recently recalled Schneider and demoted him to the AHL. So whether McIntyre or him in the minors it probably didn't matter too much for them. They also save a bit of cash although at this point of the season with only a quarter of the season left it seems fairly negligible.

The kid's a stud, and a big reason I'm fine with losing a goalie in the ED. Still think Marky would fit our timeline better; by the time he declines, DiPietro should be ready. Concerns about his size aside, he has obvious talent, and the attitude and work ethic to back it up. No reason he can't succeed at the next level with proper development. We've gone from a goalie graveyard to a goalie factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Since we are paying Luongo under recapture, couldn’t we just use him as our backup. May need to sign him to league min. Obvious he still wants to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbermen Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I wonder if they can bring back Bachman? They lent him to a team in Europe. They still need a backup in Utica, I know they have Keilly but his numbers are pretty rough in Kalamazoo, one more injury and they have a similar situation to last year too. It just dawned on me that this deal makes sense for both NJ and Vancouver because no one gets waived. MacIntyre goes straight to Binghampton and Domingue to Vancouver without having to clear waivers. Remember what happened last year? Canucks traded for a backup and lost him to waivers. Say what you will about JB but he always learns from his mistakes and is becoming a solid GM.

Popular Post Me_ Posted February 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2020 Watch Ian Clark turn Domingue into an even better goalie. Demko will be fine. The Canucks have to start setting the tone early in the game. Too many times they wake up after the first goal against. That has to stop. I think the Miller-Pettersson-Toffoli line takes care of that. Keep them away from our net. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the team will play better defensively with these two net, for the next few games at least. And then maybe Demko can go on a roll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
