Post-Game Talk: GM 73 | Blue Jackets def. Canucks | 7-6 (SO) (Raty x2, Karlsson, Boeser, Myers, DeBrusk) | Pain.

Logically they should've went back to Demko. Sure he just came back (dealing with shit), and you want him to get a bit of rest, but it makes more sense to put him in than a injured goalie not in rhythm. Gotta make these decisions when you are desperate to get points.
Arty Party would have gotten them the win tonight.
 
Demko just came back from the 3rd consecutive injury? It’s better not to play him like 3 in a row yet.
That's what f***ing sucks.

Playing a goalie who's injured which can lead to his injury getting worse signed to an extension, and now a guy who just came back needing rest dealing with shit of injuries himself.

I'd rather bank on the latter given the amount of points we need.
 
Hockey comes down to staying healthy and peaking at the right time because your team is healthy. That's literally it. Look at the Oilers last season, not a scratch on them all the way through.

I propose a seance or some kind of ritual burning this off-season. Clearly we aren’t getting help from above, we must look to below.
 
Is there enough proof that Tocchet can't make the right decisions when it's needed the most? Last year everything started off great and they glided into the playoffs without making too many tough decisions. This year he's had to make a lot and there have been a lot of failures. Pulling goalies, timeouts, line match ups, line combinations.
 
How often does teh Canuck fanbase fall head over heals for a career backup that comes in and plays well for a few months. Side Show Bob? Alex Auld? Troy Gamble? Silvos? Pathetic showing tonight. Team needs more Saskatoon, but will likely retool with some nice young men from Stockholm.
