Demko wasn't really any better. Delia was 4 games over .500 at least. Martin lost 10 in a row!49 games of Spencer Martin and Colin Delia. A defence of Hughes, Myers, Schenn, OEL, Burroughs, Bear.

Interesting that Demko is playing again. A little surprised, but he must have told them he was good to go.
No i think they're forcing him to play.
Honestly, the only realistic chance Canucks can make it is if "Vezina" Demko emerges, and stays healthy for the rest of the season.
I dont see a big difference between our ~15% now and ~8% after if we loose.
The canucks next five games, including tonight, are our “easy” ones. The schedule after that is f***ed other than a San Jose game thrown in between.
You have to grab at least 7 points of the next 10 available. At least. And you have to figure a loss of some sort to Winnipeg is likely in that.
Do you really think McCann would have made that much of a difference to the standings?youd also end up with a different point total/draft position for every year with an altered lineup to what it was and likely dont get hughes, podkolzin, hoglander or guenther
Then again, I could see teams like Dallas, Vegas and Colorado pacing themselves to wind down the season. It's f***ed over our draft position in the past....could work in our favour this time.
Yeah and it sucks they extended him.He has a full NMC and is reportedly great in the room. I'm pretty sure there's something else about one of his kids receiving specialized treatment in BC.
Plus he just signed the deal and has performed as expected. The team was never going to ask him to waive.
Just means it will be all over soon hahahaI dont see a big difference between our ~15% now and ~8% after if we loose.
Why? He’s been full value on his contract this season.Yeah and it sucks they extended him.
I wonder if Demko goes in God Mode from now til the end of season (whenever that might be ideally playoffs) do they use that as an excuse to package him and another asset this offseason for something of value or are they more inclined to try to resign him for a cheap one year deal and pray to god he can stay healthy for a season?
I'd still be more inclined to keep him.......I know it sucks balls how much he's been hurt but if and when he's healthy he's a BIG advantage for us - he's shown to be money.........Hard for me to let that go even thou I know many of us were clamoring to move on..............interested to see what the team thinks......
Crazy to think if Benning just picked the obvious guy in 2016 they would have had a run of studsThey had a core of Pettersson, Horvat, Demko, Hughes and Boeser all U26 below market value and failed to do f***ing anything. It was a masterclass in how to piss away your contention window. A complete disgrace that they couldn't even make it out of the second round with the talent they had.
All for the current regime to f*** it up though.Crazy to think if Benning just picked the obvious guy in 2016 they would have had a run of studs
2013 - Horvat (elite 2C)
2014 - Demko (franchise goalie)
2015 - Boeser (top line forward)
2016 - Tkachuk (franchise winger)
2017 - Pettersson (franchise center)
2018 - Hughes (generational dman)
Would be a * depending on how Tkachuck would have impacted the team and the overall standings.Crazy to think if Benning just picked the obvious guy in 2016 they would have had a run of studs

Just off an offensive side in 2017-18 McCann put up 28pts in 68 games for FLA.Do you really think McCann would have made that much of a difference to the standings?
