Smashian Kassian Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Just saw the highlights, what happened? Outshot them 45-29 or something. Demko doesn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an "elite" defensive forward. Strong defensively, actually works hard, and has 15 points in 12 games...plus he makes the players he plays with better. He could do well with a more competitive group of players around him. End of the day, if they can't extend EP long-term, they will be trading him as well anyways.

Nucker 67 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Didn't AV have a lot of team building stuff for the players? They used to break the players into groups and have challenges. It looked like they had a lot of fun, as a team. This version of the Canucks might be a bit cliquey. They don't seem that close. Also kind of bothered me the way Horvat screwed up his shootout attempt, and them immediately skated off the ice, not saying a word to his team or hanging back to accept the loss with them.

bishopshodan Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I feel CDC spends a lot of time talking about the players that are not the problem. We're depleated on D and our star goalie is playing like an average goalie. We have 3 or 4 wingers that can play in the top six but there is not enough room for them. Extras. Trade a few and get some D for fricks sake. If we trade Bo or JT we really lose puck possession chances as we will be lacking in the dot. Nevermind those two put up points like machines. Again, move some wingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way hes going to make this club better. If anyone needs to come in its brisebois or burroughs. No, Rathbone as a defenseman on the 4th line. He's fast and skilled offensively. He has more offensive skill than any of our 6,7, or 8 dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko doesn't look right. Had a well deserved 3-0 start, but can't bury one in the second despite ton of chances. Saros found his game. Then once they got scored on in the third, became tentative like before. Couldn't generate much in third or OT. SO is crap shoot, EP almost scored. Bo did a Nazzy and lost the puck. Pretty much sums up the game. Deserved a pt, but really blew the second pt. Preds aren't a good team. Edited November 6, 2022 by Jaimito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no idea that covid was going to hit and it torpedo'd JB's plan.......hopefully PA learned that hard lesson and plans for the worst. did any GM do that?

higgyfan Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 12 hours ago, ktcy2 said: Markstrom has always been the better goalie. We picked demko over him only due to the age thing. I mean demko has always been overhyped by this market. He is not bad, but has not really been top of the league like markstrom or luongo etc. he is struggling big time now and we just have to go with Martin for now. There is no other way. If Martin is the starter now so be it Such nonsense. Marks' developmental stage was much longer than Demko. He finally became a starter at the age of 27 (9.12 over 60 games); whereas Demko became the starter at 25yrs (9.15 over 64 games). This season, Marks has played 8 games with 9.00 (on a team that has a much better defensive structure. Demko has played 9 games with .879 (in the past 4 games he's trending over .900). *Demko had surgery during the summer, which would have a significant factor for his preparation and training during the off season. Reason stats suggest that he is getting his game back. Martin has played 3g with .899. It's a bit too soon to proclaim him as the starter for the Canucks! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
