If Demko plays equal to his opposite these last two games how many points do we come out with? We aren’t winning any games against anyone with ?Demko stopping pucks at .825 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieVedder Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 16 minutes ago, Alflives said: Obviously Demko was why we lost these two games. The numbers are clear. There are three players on this team JR, who is a very experienced and smart hockey man, will not trade: Demko, Petey, and Hughes. JR knows these three have to potential to be the best at their position and dominate many many games. These are guys teams win Cups with. Hughes has been great all year. Petey has struggled. Demko has been up and down. JR will build around these three players. Hughes the best at his position? Did you see him get outmuscled for a goal against tonight for the umpteenth time? Petey has played like a 3rd liner the past year. If we didnt have Horvat and Miller, wed be last place in the league. I think JR has been around enough and seen enough cup Champs that he knows we need a legit #1 dman and a legit #1 centre. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Man Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I am sorry if somebody has said that, but I think have Canucks played that game against Ottawa on Saturday, they would one at least one of the last two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised if we lost both those games. the reality is that we could go 0-4 by Sunday afternoon. Would a 1-5 road trip kill any chance of making the playoffs? I think it pretty much would yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was terrible these last two games. Our guys just dominated two games. We gave up less than fifty shots. He let in NINE! We got near to 90 shots. The other goalies let in FOUR! If other Canuck fans are going to point fingers at Miller, Petey, Bo, OEL, etc, then we need to do the same with our MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER - Demko. Those guys can have bad games, and we can still win. If Demko has a bad game, we see what happens. We lose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like when the team only wins because of him, now the team needs to give him some run support when he is not perfect. Some of chances given up are bad though, like that 2-0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko definitely isn’t the problem but I do agree that he needs to play at least equally as good as the opposing goalie. Canucks played hard and their top players need to find a way to score or they won’t win, but at the same time he needs to play equal to the other goaltender. Also he let 8 in, not 9. The empty net doesn’t count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a very good point. It would be great if the opponents’ goalies played crappy too. Then we score 12 goals on those 90 shots. But the other two goalies played really well. And that’s why the goalie is the most important player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team always has had players play hot or go cold all at the same time. They are very consistently inconsistent. All elite teams go through those same struggles on the rise to the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey40 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 At the end of the day Canucks need to find a way to win these games, they need points and if they lose the next 3 barring a 10 game win streak the playoff hopes are all but done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against average teams we can look pretty good. Against the top teams the holes that Benning left are pretty glaring. D needs major upgrades as well as our role players. Could use another legit top 6 forward too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you were a contending team would you want any Canucks players now outside of Demko, Miller, or Hughes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockeye Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 1 hour ago, DefCon1 said: We were never a cup contender so it was an expected loss with all the time off. They played good against TB, they just dont have any finishers unfortunately. I dont mind trading Boeser for Klington to shake things up. We need more offense from our D. Klingberg would be nice if we were a contender but we are not. Also, Klingberg will be 30 this summer. If we trade anybody it needs to be for someone under 25 given our core players. If we keep our core, I still don’t see this team as a strong playoff team for about 2 years (assuming our skill level and toughness improves).
