Sucks we had to loose a 3rd round pick but its more important that this group makes the playoffs.

hlinkas wrister 1,953 Posted February 24, 2020 We are one hit to Thatcher's head away from having a goaltending tandem of DiPietro and Domingue for the stretch run. Ok to hit the panic button yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coconuts 12,426 Posted February 24, 2020 Oof, an injury to arguably our most important player at the worst time. That's so Canucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-P 520 Posted February 24, 2020 Like that we acquired toffi but Vegas, oilers and flames loading up and Marky injured dampers things a bit for me. Still - as long as we make the playoffs the season’s a success in my book. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NUCKER67 9,439 Posted February 24, 2020 So, the MVP is out for the rest of the season. Not feeling overly optimistic with their chances now. VGK, EDM and CGY have made moves and are going for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Rollins tells a story where he managed to get knocked out by kneeing himself in the face while moshing on stage. When he came to, he jumped back up with a bloody nose looking around for whoever hit him. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junkyard Dog 9,765 Posted February 24, 2020 3-4 weeks with a meniscus tear is the best news you can hear. Means it is not too serious. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had this one: there's different levels of severity. Hopefully his is on the light side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tracksuit 626 Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) If the marky injury’s true This should force the D to tighten things up or it could get ugly. i like Demko and think he’s the future here but markstroms having a vezina year and a very big reason we weren’t sellers today. If Demko can get this done and be the player we hope he can be might make resigning Markstrom less likely this summer. Very big opportunity for Demko to prove himself Edited February 24, 2020 by Tracksuit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruilin96 6,001 Posted February 24, 2020 Reminded me of when Miller was out and Eddie Lack had to step up his game to take us to the playoffs. Hopefully, Demko take this opportunity and run with it and take us to the promise land. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Means it is not too serious. not to pick nits, but I'd argue the best news you could hear is that your mvp starting goalie doesn't have a knee injury at all. that said, this will be good for demko and good for the team to have to tighten things up defensively down the stretch.

Horvat is a Boss 3,231 Posted February 24, 2020 I don't understand why the Devils would simply help the Canucks out by giving them a more experienced 3rd string option but I'll take it. Maybe they felt bad for making us listen to Simmonds rumours for a week. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
