Nucks were 4-1 on Ottawa with a PP to extend, didn't and nearly blew the game.

They blew the 3-1 lead but just get to OT atleast.
 
Demko is a far superior goalie to Lankinen don't kid yourself. He's been good though.
There is a legitimate question about Demko’s abilities when he comes back. When the general consensus is that he will have to play a different game going forward and will never be the same theres definitely cause for concern

Lankinen has been pretty arguably top 10 goalie this year, hardly a crutch that should impact team play/strategy.

Yea, this isn’t like Colorado trying to overcome horrible goaltending at points in the past couple years. Demko could have provided better goaltending and maybe a couple more points in the standings but it shouldn’t be an excuse

Lankinen has replaced Demko effectively but we've lost at least 3 points (Calgary, Pittsburgh games for sure) in games where a DeSmith would have got us a result that a stinky Silovs didn't.
Yeah this is a much better argument. He's clearly not a NHL goalie right now.

Last year, with a 3-1 lead and under 10 minutes remaining, it was a lock for two points and a sprint to the team bus.

But no Miller, no Hronek, no Demko and a pylon-blueline, and it's off to OT.

I love that play by Soucy at the very end. Just takes the body and isolates the player so they had no chance of getting anywhere near the puck.
