Lazurus Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Hey lets trade Demko!!!! Or as some fans would post, "Let's get rid of Demko!!!!!!" Goalie of the future for years now and all of a sudden he is a bum, Markstrom is unbeatable. Fans in this city love their goalies, whoever it is that day. I remember the trade, Markstrom was a throw in, a salary dump, useless. Demko was drafted, what a great pedigree, outstanding, better than Schnides, the future and now, meh, trade him for a draft pick, we aren't keeping him past the expansion draft anyway because WE LOVE MARKSTROM! I am enjoying watching the playoffs and the Canucks, there is lots of comparisons out there. A super big advantage for the Canucks is there is no travel, travel is a beast for them usually compared to other teams. In 2010 the Canucks traveled 10 times more distance than the Bruins and it showed It is safe to say that Demko can also steal a game I think and this one was massive, huge, loaded with added pressure, imagine how good he could have been if he had played a game in the last 6 months.

As his career does wind down, nothing but appreciation for what he's done for this team. Thanks for the extra info...even more impressed now! Edler is a warrior and has been a huge influence on and off the ice to our young core. He’s a true (quiet) leader and one of my all time fav Nucks as I’ve watched this team for the past 38 years. Now let’s win game 6!!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stawns Posted September 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2020 1 hour ago, oldnews said: Yeah - you rarely hear Edler mentioned when people talk about team MVPs - but so far in this series it's him - quietly or not, he has carried the team at times. It's borderline unbelievable that he has the team's 2nd best goal differential 5 on 5 - he's handled an insanely heavy load. The pivotal play by Eddie, for me, was with the goalie pulled and Stone (I think) has the puck on the side boards. Eddie goes down for the block and Stone holds the puck and looks for eddie to over commit and get a better look. Eddie contorts his body several differenmt ways and never gives Stone the shot and he's forced to put the puck back to the point. To me, that was the game right there. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - that is a play that stays in the mind - good description - and that was an absolutely critical moment in which Edler went full ninja. That was a thing of beauty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the boys got schooled a bit there but that play needed to happen to spark our comeback. Calling it embarrassing is whatevs... I’m a glass is full of positivity with this particular team, they have given us true Canuck fanbase something to look forward to and want this core bunch to succeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably wasn't expecting anyone to have the nerve to do that. Yet, that's what Miller did. No guts, no glory. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 2 hours ago, oldnews said: Benn is way too slow relative to Stecher. Benn also is challenged to make a first pass anywhere as near as consistent as Stecher. I don't think the perceived gain in 'grit' is anywhere near worth the trade-off. Myers brings a huge upgrade over Benn in his ability to handle and punish the Knights down low. I think Stecher's mobility, puck retrieval, ability to transition imo are far more important than size - even against a team like Vegas - and Stecher battles at all times - I don't think he's been exposed at all. Ooh, this is an odd one, I agree with Oldnews on this one. Our D has had a couple issues this series, size isn’t really one of them. Puck retrieval and passing have been big issues. Stretch has actually been quite good at retrieval, the exit passing has been good I think (though am not willing to go to fancy stats to check this). I think one thing this series has really shown is how much we could use Olli and probably another player like him (Rathbone?) that moves the puck out of the zone consistently. We have been getting penned in our zone fairly consistently because of bad exit passes or as they highlighted last night, soft dumps to the neutral zone.

The two hander to the back of Petey's legs was just the latest in a string of cheap shots from him. It's playoffs, so I don't expect retribution during the series, but next season, somebody better tune this little pr!ck in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they crapped the bed against the Sharks I hope they waste their energy chasing our guys around, and dance around the outside all night. DeBoer stinks of failure. I hate how he trots out his 4th line to start every game, its annoying and not intimidating anyone on our group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
