This has been a trying year no doubt but show me a team that has their vezina calibre goalie miss basically the entire season, numerous key injuries, our two best forwards shit almost the entire year with one being traded, a coach that's a dinosaur yet right there in a playoff spot.
I'm proud of this team no matter what and with Demko almost back if he can stay back and be himself along with EP who is clearly trending up, I like our chances.

We need to have obviously the key guys play to their level and we need to stop the dump and chase style.
That period should be how we attack every time.
The only thing i worry is how much of the peak Demko we are getting when he has to play with his new restrictions/stance? Is this Demko better than Lankinen still?

Winnipeg without Hellebuyck is just a regular playoff team. Vancouver without an elite Demko is a bubble team. I don't believe Miller is ever as impactful as a healthy Demko. But if Demko is done. Chytil is done, Boeser is lost without Miller, then im not sure how much a one sided first round series is worth.
 
Man had nothing going that period until M Petey took a low percentage shot and then Hellebyuck is in his peak playoff form and just instantly caused 2-2 with his team about to blow the game open to 4-2 and the team is now totally out of rhythm.
