[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks @ Winnterpeg Jets | March 2, 2021 | 5 p.m. PT | SNP, TVAS

Canucks have 30 games left.  Demko should get 25 of them. The Holtby experiment is over and he is clearly the back up.  Demmer needs to play a lot to continue to develop into a number 1.  There isn't a lot of pressure on him as the team is pretty much out of it but he needs to get the work to be ready for next year which will likely be a full schedule.

God this team needs work

 

scoring in the top 6, scoring in the bottom 6, a top 4 defenseman, size up front and a firm slap upside the head

If u think that leading all defensemen on 3 hits make a player then you need expect a lot more from this team. And really 3 hit all night... lol sorry but thats sad. 

Don’t apologize for crying.

Virtanen has less pts than Hamonic and he's played 7 games

It’s a good thing Jim didn’t give him millions.

and a sucky one over on this end

Nah.  Just one that has some noticeable holes.  *CAN* be fixed (doesn't require a wholesale change).

[bishopshodan 12,048]

Twerked over, again.

This game is on Holtby - imo.  

Great team effort but garbage effort by Holtby.

I'd agree that Demko would have been the better choice, but weren't going to win with only 2 goals. Sloppy defensive break-downs, losing the puck, shoddy reffing and one time Holtby coughed up the puck.

 

All and all, we played alright game in a barn we always seem to lose in. Jets just outclassed us.

This loss is 95% on Holtby. If we needed a string of games to show that Demko is the #1 and not the 1A/1B.... it's been the last 5 or so games. Seattle won't even bother taking that waste of cap space from us. 

Green has quit on the team so he just plays Holtby-Demko-Holtby-Demko the rest of the way. Wants to make sure both goalies are fresh for the golf season. You dont want to run the goalie into the ground in a 50 games season.

[captainhorvat 3,305]

Can someone explain why we signed Holtby??? Louis Domingue would have been just fine.

All I want is for Jim to be canned, that is my only goal for this year.

All but a certainty.  About time , sad how much damage he has done .

It’s okay we’ll buy him and Virtanen out in the summer.

 

Wouldn’t be an offseason if Benning didn’t add more dead cap.

[Cluminati* 726]

Subtract Holtby and Sutter from tonight’s lineup and the outcome may have been different.

He looked invisible on the 5th one too.

I thought he looked better on that one.

I blame Holtby on the fifth goal as well.

Sittin on the job

Well Benning doesn't want to break tradition in that category does he. LOL.

Yeah with hindsight this signing is looking like it was a year too long...

[canuck2288 9,140]

People who say this loss is on Holtby are correct but the decision to start him was Green’s

 

blame Travis

I hate when we play WPG. I have to watch it on TSN3 and listen to Dennis 'I can't call a game without shouting the entire time I'm talking' Beyak

Yeah I keep thinking there's something exciting happening, but it turns out to be a line change.

[b3. 8,093]

Is Benn and Hamonic still a better pairing than Juolevi and Benn?

[JoshuaGuy 4,336]

This game wasn't so different than the last to be honest. Canucks got some luck with some tips and Demko made some huge saves but our d zone coverage, breakouts, rushes and dump and chase still sad as &^@# both games.
