GDT: [GM 77] Vancouver Canucks @ Los Angeles Kings | Saturday, April 6th | 7:00PM PST | SPAC

Very deflating loss. Puts into question the Canucks ability to win in the playoffs without demko

Demko will be back come playoff time, f*** DeSmith guy is shredder ass

 

[brock hughes007]

Absolutely %&÷*-&#,ridiculous.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Just came here to say, what Hronek just did there, was badass, defensive play of the year lol

Innuendos etc

 

[quat]

Not sure why I'm getting worked up given this is what I expected.

At least I'm feeling vindicated for doubting this team. Still a fan, but there's a lot of work to do to improve the fortunes of this team.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I kind of feel bad for DeSmith, to be honest. He's obviously not playing well but everybody would look terrible in comparison to Demko.

Most sober take of the thread

Very deflating loss. Puts into question the Canucks ability to win in the playoffs without demko

I don't think that we needed this loss to figure that out.

The team goes nowhere without Demko.

 

[Hammer79]

The Canucks haven't beat a playoff team in a month.

They beat Vegas and Winnipeg in the 2nd week of March, so this isn't true.

 

[Lawzy]

i think it's pretty obvious that we cant lol

Not convinced they can do it with Demko either. They've been lost out there for weeks.

 

[Oliewud]

its like u guys forgot we're missing our #1 goalie

 

[Kryten]

Anyway...this game sucked. I'm kind of annoyed i spent the time procrastinating on what i should really be doing, to watch the disaster unfold. Very uninspiring hockey.

Which i guess is fair. They've got very little to play for at this point. But have some pride at least. lol.

Couldnt even stand up for their captain, against a Moore again

 

[biturbo19]

Really makes me question the hockey intelligence of this fanbase sometimes. Truly.

That goal against doesn’t matter in the slightest. The PP has been bad for months and cost an endless amount of games. Needed a goal there and once again they can’t get it done.

It's very rudimentary sort of fanning to just blame the goalie on everything.

I mean yeah, he kinda sucked on that anyway. But bigger picture, there are far more pressing concerns. Like...why that even happened in the first place.

 

[Guardian452]

Time to ride Silovs until Demko is ready to play.

 

[VanJack]

Surely the most lifeless and disappointing games of the season for the Canucks. Their best players, other than Hughes, were MIA. If this is all they have to offer heading into the post season, the Canucks will be breaking out the golf clubs early.

But just goes to show how much the Canucks rely on goaltending. DeSmith tonight looked like the second coming of Delia and Martin.

Hughes looks exhausted to me.....and the playoffs haven't even started.

 

[PG Canuck]

its like u guys forgot we're missing our #1 goalie

How many powerplay goals does he have

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Demkos back soon. We'll be fine. Not worried.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I feel bad for DeSmiths ex. Everything else seems to get away from him.

 

[just22]

Boooooooooooooo he didn't stop the breakaway tho fire him and put someone else in net.

Talbot has stopped multiple clear cut breakaways this game. Make a big save when your team needs it FFS

 

[eviohh26]

DeSmith was shit tonight. Was it all his fault? No . But the people defending him are out to lunch.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Bye bye division

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Our offense is ranked 27th since ASG.

This isn't something that will change by switching DeSmith and Demko.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

In fairness - I didn’t love the first three goals.

Hard to fault him on the last three - but at this time of year, you need goalies to rob the odd goal. DeSmith hasn’t really given us that sort of opportunity.

I feel the exact opposite. To put it respectfully. Again I haven’t seen the 4th or 6th but every goal I saw was a team effort, or lack thereof and we are kicking one guy over it. That’s my issue.

 

[logan5]

Anybody got any Lekk highlights from tonight?

 

[Lawzy]

Most sober take of the thread

Yeah, I think anyone truly blaming DeSmith for these losses are absolutely coping. He's been bad but we've been worse.
