WCQF - Game 2 - Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators, 10pm ET, ESPN2

[EpochLink]

Rough.

Canucks going to have to just play better.

As a pens fan DeSmith can steal some games but long term is not someone you want playing every game

Quinn Hughes just has to play like game 1

Our backup is Silovs, he’s also very capable.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Our backup is Silovs, he’s also very capable.

Mm, we saw both the good and the bad of Silovs during his four games with the team. He can make some surprising saves, and then let some woofers right through him.

You definitely go with DeSmith first for his experience. He just needs to hold the door.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Our backup is Silovs, he’s also very capable.

Lol

No he is not

Preds in 6

DeSmith is too unreliable when asked to play consecutive games

 

[MessierII]

No demko makes this a lot more interesting. Preds hung around last game. Vancouver is still the better team but if Saros can keep the Preds in it they have a chance. Going to be tough if they drop this game though.

We either gonna get Casey DeSmith or Casey Can’t See Shit.

Either way, he’s the backup.

 

[BCNate]

I dont think Demko being out is a death punch for the Canucks, DeSmith is capable of winning 3 of 6. Things fit a whole lot harder for us though. EP has to get going.

 

[WiLBoY]

Casey Desmith might be good for 1 game but a whole series? Canucks would be done

My copium says Rutherford won 2 cups with rookie Ward and Murray

My brain and heart say it’s Joever

 

[Filthy Dangles]

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Pettersson has to take over a few games here, or it's lights out.

 

[WiLBoY]

Pettersson has been playing looked a third liner since a few weeks before his new contract

Getting a lot of conflicting conversations here.

Is it Desmith or is it Silovs.

 

[BonMorrison]

According to practice, Preds are doing no line up changes so Canucks can enjoy feasting on Lauzon - Carrier again. Bruno, man.

It's desmith. Silovs will be Desmith's backup.

There's not really any indication that he can do that against an actual contending team, though. It was like 50/50 against a random draw of opposition quality.

It's DeSmith backed up by Silovs.

It's DeSmith backed up by Silovs.

I don’t know, he beat the oilers in our biggest game of the year last week.

 

[Armourboy]

Preds tend to make backups look like Hasek, it's a running joke on our boards for a reason.

We are gonna get our butts kicked.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Beat the oilers twice

 

[Shareefruck]

I don’t know, he beat the oilers in our biggest game of the year last week.

That doesn't tell you anything about whether he can beat 3/6 against a good team as a starter, is all I'm saying.

We know that he can play one-off great games in relief, and that's about it.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Getting a lot of conflicting conversations here.

Is it Desmith or is it Silovs.

It will be DeSmith for now, but if we have to go to Silvia, Preds is winning this series 100%

According to practice, Preds are doing no line up changes so Canucks can enjoy feasting on Lauzon - Carrier again. Bruno, man.

Dw, DeSmith is bound to let in a momentum shifting goal when you need it

 

[Nucker101]

We overrate this guy, I’ll happily eat crow if proven wrong but he’s no better than DeSmith imo

At this point, we gotta go with what we got.

 

[Nucker101]

At this point, we gotta go with what we got.

I think it’s still pretty winnable but it’s going to be a 6 or 7 game series, without Demko it’s really anyone’s series since his absence negates a lot of the 1-0 series advantage.

I’m terrified of the PK faltering mostly

RIP Canucks 2023-24

That happens in the regular season. Let's hope it doesn't in the playoffs.
