aGENT Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 2 minutes ago, KoreanHockeyFan said: Well I guess the good news is that he didn't re-aggravate the previous injury. The obvious bad news is that it's a new injury, and who knows if he'll ever be 100% healthy by the end of the series if we win. Hard to say. Maybe the previous injury had him compensating elsewhere, and that over compensation caused a "new", "unrelated" injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 With Demko's injury history, not sure he can ever play a full season in the NHL. Not sure I'd want to give him an 8.5x8 contract extension. Luckily, we still have two more years to figure it out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Shouldn't have announced it so early, Nash has time to adjust their game plan also now and get the book on DeSmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 My guess is a groin pull, after that amazing split save on Beauvillier early in the game. Hope it's nothing, of course. And it doesn't matter what DeSmith's record is against the Oilers. The Canucks are playing the Preds. One game at a time. The stars need to step up on the scoresheet. (Petey, Boeser, Miller, Hughes) Joshua-Lindholm-Garland can't do it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we can’t be swept. Preds can't beat the Nux this yr. Not going to change tonight. Casey beat them already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickly Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 This is where you hope the top players show up and score some important goals. We definitely need Pettersson to show us who he can be and play a key factor in this series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bigger concern is him not listening to his body. Him sitting a few games initially might have saved having him out for weeks. Might have also saved this "new" injury.

NucksNation Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Ah, Desmith gets beaten up high a lot, he’s short. As seen from last game Preds can snipe and even beat Demko cleanly. If anything this is when Petey needs to step the f up. Going to be hard to win without your star goalie and your highest paid “superstar” is playing like a third liner. If DeSmith can play like he does against Edmonton we should be okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko isn't a 60 game guy. He's only done it once his entire career. He would benefit from the Boston model, whereby we have a legit starter as a backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilgore Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I like DeSmith but lets just surmise that there may be one more goal against per game on average, we have to counter that deficit Which is where Petey could come in. If Petey elevates his game to pot those goals to make up for goals that Demmer would have saved the other way, we are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterBelmont Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I want to remain positive but the Demko news is such a Canucks thing to happen. I wasn't expecting them to win it all this year but I was hoping for at least winning a round. Without Demko it makes that just a little bit harder. Now I am concerned for his future health. Will he ever be 100% healthy or will he always be struggling with injuries? Is Silovs the answer in 2-3 years? Someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell.the.team Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 The boys are gonna have to start skating, drawing penalties, scoring.... We don't need to rely on Demko for this series. We have a heck of an offense when they are firing on all cylinders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
