Hell; If not, we're still a damn great team. 4 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 1 hour ago, AnthonyG said: Binnington Murray Thompson Niemi Ward Francouz Emery Osgood There have been plenty of goalies who were subpar or had one good run to go on and win a cup or make it to the finals. With the defence infront of DeSmith and our work in the o-zone, this team can get through a round without Demko. We have home ice advantage which helps increase our chances of winning. We’ve got this. Out of all those, I'd say our best realistic hope is for something like Ward to happen. He was pretty mediocre in the regular season, but turned it on in the playoffs. Binnington was already playing lights out in the regular season and carried on through to the playoffs. Same could be said about Emery. Maybe not lights out, but he certainly was having a very good year. The other guys had extremely strong rosters in front of them. PIT, VGK, CHI, COL, DET... these were all powerhouses in terms of forward and defensive depth. Not sure I'd put this Canucks roster at the same level as those teams.

Still see us pulling through, but D has to be even better and forwards too.... Lets do this. didn't he actually say that EVERYTHING would have to go right for this team to MAKE the playoffs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnieVan Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Too bad the Canucks had a chance to win this year but that's all over now. Without your #1 goalie there is just no way you can win a Cup or even a win a round. DeSmith is a good backup but there is no way he can carry the load of a #1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz-Pix Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Going to my first Canucks Playoff game...since Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals in 2011. I was at 10 home playoff games that year....9 of them were incredible. Pretty pumped to see the boys in playoff beast again. Expecting the atmosphere and adrenaline to be pumping in the arena. Very concerned to hear Demko won't be playing but feel that most teams will face some adversity during the course of the playoffs. Demko established himself as a number 1 goalie the last time we faced adversity in the playoffs (against Vegas) Looking for Desmith or Silvos to take their game to another level until Demmer's return. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
