Can Vancouver overcome loss of Demko in series vs. Preds?

Can Vancouver overcome the loss of Thatcher Demko in this series against the Predators? What is Demko’s status for the remainder of the series? How would you assess Elias Pettersson’s Game 2? Farhan Lalji joins SC with Jay Onrait to break it all down.

that was real awkward at the end

[@Statsy10]

That ending was the most awkward thing I've ever seen. 😂

[@adamlee007]

Were fucked

[@nathanielduncan4692]

You guys are.

[@rodzor]

2-1 Series lead

[@MarciaRobinson-id3wh]

Holy fuck that ending was awkward lol - "Do it more often" ... "hahahahahahah..... *silence*"

[@Fallout3131]

That ending LOL

[@OvieSnips8]

With Demko out the canucks are still fine. Demko being out isn't the issue. It's guys like ,Miller, Boeser, Petey that have to play better and start scoring. Tochett decided to bench and sit Kuzmenko for not being defensively responsible. They sure could use him for offense right now....

[@poolside123canadian7]

No. Petey is playing like crap, Demko’s out week to week & Myers had the flu. We’re donezo. Sorry to say. This is just like the Canucks Too. Our damn luck.

Get off the bandwagon we dont need the extra weight! All seriousness, its 1-1! The preds gotta win 3 more. Stop the fucking self inflicting pessimism, let the boys cook, the series is faaar from over.

[@poolside123canadian7]

@@bhsdhmu I’ve been a Canucks fan from Abbotsford since I was born. I’m not a bandwagon fan. I’m a realist.

[@bhsdhmu]

@@poolside123canadian7 then why are you on the internet spreading pessimism? Take a life lesson here bud, its a mind set, the glass if half full, no one can ruin your day but yourself. Take a walk outside and enjoy the sunshine. Root for the boys when they down. Cheer for them when they up. Thats a real fan.

[@PeterDixon734]

If they can find a way to solve Saros, it'll level the playing field. That is the only way they're gonna win this.

[@sunflowers8508]

I don't think it was about solving Saros, more of dealing with blocked shots by Preds....

[@J-Dogg-wt1hp]

2014 Carey Price ,fast forward to 2024 Thatcher Demko. Eliminate the threat.

[@nobuddy2012]

The Canucks probably could overcome the loss of Demko if their PP was firing and they didn't have several players missing in action. But, they don't, and they do. Therefore, Preds in 5.

[@Bestbiggsy]

Talking about a player who needs something or anything to go right, wah wah 96 million coming his way. As long as he remembers who he is, calms down, stops listening to Tocchet and being over coached, and just trusts his giant swede brain to make reads, he'll be fine. What made us good for 55 or so games was that we had a dynamic offense which brought all different looks, after we lost a game 10-7 in Minnesota, Tocchett has played handbrake hockey since then, all this trust the system Uber structured hockey, it's boring as fuck. Just play rope a dope as we did early, let teams come at us, and then counter with pace and play off the rush more. Our whole scheme has been found out, just play hot potato on the perimeter and try and get tips and screens from the point shot and fluke our way to victory, not working.

[@rozy1414]

Yes

[@FatCatw]

Short answer: no Long answer: HELL NO

[@steviej359]

No, they can’t, game 2 showed us DeSmith is in over his head.

[@trenttouzin4032]

The Canucks managed just 1 goal at home!!! How is that the fault of Desmithe, exactly?

[@louschenn1798]

What tf was that ending ☠️

[@J-Dogg-wt1hp]

All American Final now .

[@adamlee007]

Petty who?

[@tylerdurden4006]

Sadly no we can't, desmith is the reason we couldn't win against a team above 500 for the end of the season for over a month.

[@oliver-ci2ke]

no 40 makes 11.6 m year hes not worth half of tht right now! last 2 months do your job kid!

[@oliver-ci2ke]

bets off til next season

[@adamlee007]

No

[@adamlee007]

We didn't

[@FatCatw]

No

[@mrfake675]

No
