It was just uncharacteristic to let so many long shot goals go in. I have complete faith in Demko. I just hope he starts to pick up his game a bit. As long as he’s stellar in the playoffs, that’s all that matters. You just want him going in on a high note. A few more months to round out his game until then.

Glad the refs didn't fall for that. Take the 2 points and run did the Hughes have figure skating background? Or maybe only big Z did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We criticize the refs a lot but that was a great non call. If anything was gonna be called there it should have been embellishment. Embarrassing bit of flopping there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik could be one or younger guys on cheap contracts and Mik plays a different role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted January 7 Popular Post Share Posted January 7 Thank you, @Sharpshooter I actually shut it down early because I was going to get myself in trouble if I stayed. Using ignore only works if people don't quote the nattering. These aren't picture perfect wins but the team is "finding a way" and good teams do that. It's reassuring to experience a game where Demko IS off but the team didn't completely fall apart and they bailed him out for once. That's progress. He's earned a few off nights. The team addressed slow starts by tearing it up now in the first...but it's difficult to sustain that pace. They played a great game until the third and they started to wear down a bit. Protecting a lead is always dangerous. Most of us take this in stride and understand how tough it is to just blast through every game convincingly. Yes, playing a full 60 minutes is important but sometimes that shifts into a different look throughout a game. Defensive more than offensive. But the one or two who are never satisfied...that's on them, not the team. Even if they try to speak FOR the team. lol Cheers to a road win on a trip where it's going to be tough to grind out points. Doing that is showing a lot of character and resilience in this bunch. They believe so maybe we should too. They're their own harshest critics and that's important...they know what needs work. They're learning how to get it done...even on the road, against a team that's had their number (yes, missing Jack but Demko sort of balanced that out last night by not being his usual stellar self). No team is perfect and this team is addressing imperfections one at a time. Which is really great. Also: How about that Miller guy, huh? 4 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember a player of ours embellishing that badly this season. Refs should never make calls based on fan reactions though and thankfully they didn’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have to be Garly + Cole going the other way for BTs cap. They say they are looking for veteran leaders. It'll never happen, but fun to ponder the pricing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-68 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 3 hours ago, spook007 said: Lotto line absolutely smashed it. Zadorov scratched in favour of Juulsen is a massive thumbs up to to Juulsen, who just continues to get better all the time. Great to see QH not really needed on the PK because of Juulsen, Soucy, Cole and Myers taking the heavy lifting. and doing it well... Most important of all... I could care less, if Devils were on a b2b and Hughes were missing... or the sun were in their eyes, the ice was tilted or whatever.. The Hoodoo is broken... Now lets hammer Rangers as well... Zadorov wasn't scratched, he is day-to-day with an injury but yes, Donkey is playing very well, really coming into his own as a depth D player. I like Jules play and he keeps getting better. Bodes well for the Canucks D. Amazing to think not that long ago, like last season, the Canucks D included the vaunted Stillman / Burroughs pairing. Not that they were bad, just that this years Canucks D core is just a WEE BIT better. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep if you can get a pick and flip it in a package deal for a top 6 center it might be the biggest area of need now. Petey needs legit top 6 players to play with. That was pretty obvious last night. So we either need to find a 2nd line center or a top left winger for him to play with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team is perfect and this team is addressing imperfections one at a time. Which is really great. As usual I agree with most of your sentiments. With the exception of Demko’s performance. Quite a few others mentioned his off night as well, so you’re not alone. I think at least 2 of those goals were unstoppable and would not be stopped by 99% of the goalie’s league wide. Demko made some stellar saves as well, especially on Toffoli alone in front and in tight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If JR can do his usual early deal we can actually bank some cap space to help make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
