It's the Kiefer Sherwood show. Demko gets his first win of the season.

[@bendmall4341]

1-1-1 for Demmer

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Kind of ironic a guy named sheerWOOD would be playing for the Canucks, a team historically branded after lumberjacks.

Stripping McKinnon and leaving Makar behind, gotta be an exclusive club he joined then :)

[@conorcahill5422]

Go from out classing Florida, to getting outclassed by Boston, then go to outclassing Colorado this evening. This team can really frustrate me, because I know for certain they can do better and win all 3x of these games in solid fashion at home. Whether it's puck management, coaching tactics, soft-mindedness I do not know, but I know one thing that's always been consistent is Sherwood's performances. Guy is an ANIMAL. Well deserved hattrick.

[@leechap3]

Canucks fans are funny, myself included. After Florida I was planning the parade route, after Boston the whole town was talking trading Petey, after tonight everything is rosy again. I almost wish the team was just bad. I'm getting whiplash jumping on and off the bandwagon.

[@Canuckhead0]

This is the canucks team i like to watch, one where petey, miller, hughes, sherwood, debrusk, boeser, demko, garland, desharnais, myers, soucy, and juulsen all put in a good effort

Great defensive win. Demko, Sherwood, and Miller/Petey were great. Go Canucks go!

[@Novorious]

Sherwood showed the Avs who's boss tonight. He owned this game. So proud of him on his first NHL Career Hat Trick. And very happy for Demko as he made big saves and claiming his first W of the season. Demmer's back for real. Man if only he didn't let that one goal from the Avs...

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Yup, the merry Man of the Woods robbed from the Avs, and gave to the Canucks.

[@jasonjansen9831]

I gotta mention Petey was really good tonight. Not flashy but so good defensively and making smart plays.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

EP40 should have had at least a pair of his own, but for Blackwood managing to goalie him. Was a very evenly played game, but Demko out goalied Backwood.

[@benzema111]

I was SHOCKED when Sherwood just blasted away from Makar. That dude can skate.

Sherwood definitely deserved that crazy hat trick he play very well. Props to demko he was killing it with those amazing saves good job I get it he just got back from a 1 and a half year injury but he is still very good. I feel bad for the ref💀

Sherwood looked like McDavid on that shorthanded breakaway.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Or The Russian Rocket, the way he just took off and there was no catching him. I still have fond memories of Bure doing that all the time in the early 90s. That was a treat to watch back in the day, before his knee injuries slowed him down a step or 2.

[@jeremyrhansen6637]

Sherwood is such a beast!! Sad Demko didnt get the shutout! He played pretty good!

You don't see natural hat tricks very often. Congrats to Kiefer on all the hard effort paying off.

They pull the goalie not to tie it just to break the shutout. Aw well good bounce back to all and demko. Congrats sherwood.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

I figured it would take 2-3 games for Thatch to get his roof in order and start putting up Vezina level numbers again.

[@jerichobeach2967]

@ that is good reasoning. Many fans panicked and kept saying trade him after boston loss. Even being bed ridden in a hospital for a week and one can require assistance relearning to walk. I cant even imagine what its like for a goalie who has to work in fractions of a second.

I disagree. They were going at it shot for shot. Well played game for both teams, just that Demko out goalied Blackwood. That one extra big save was the difference maker (not counting the empty net since no goalie can do anything about those).

Good job, Lankinen! Merci!

[@hep8853]

Avalanche shouldn't have won nashville game either, blackwood bailed them out. Colorado looks terrible.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Nah, they played a good game tonight. Both teams did, and both goalies were on a heater, but Demko showed why he was a Vezina candidate last year as he appears to be getting back into his pre injury form again, after a couple of games to get warmed up.

[@Серёга-7]

[@gopropeterchockey]

Sherwood currently leads the league in hits so he actually had a better chance of getting a Gordie Hiowe hat trick than the natural hat trick he got today. What are the odds?

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Just too bad one of them wasn't on the PP. If you could have combined that with his shortie and even strength empty netter, and he'd have scored for the cycle.

[@roffew.1065]

Demko is the fear factor

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Put a Thatched roof on that statement and know no puck will leak into your net. Not when the Thatch man is on the job!

[@raymondking2162]

The avs and the oilers has the highest chance of winning the cup this year according to the money puck. Lmao, I would like to know what kind of drugs they're on to even predict that. The avs are a top heavy team with 2 backup goalies, dallas/vegas or even minnesota will dismantle these 8th seed wildcard jokers.

Maybe Toch wants to spread the scoring around a bit more, so they're not stuck keeping the same line out for nearly the full 2 minutes and overworking their top guys? I mean, this is Rick Tocchett we're talking about here, I'm sure he's got a good reason we can't fathom.

[@foskco87]

I love EP40 but it's gotta feel weird making that much money and sitting there watching guys who make a tiny fraction of your salary carry the team. That's got to be part of what was messing with his head earlier this season. I think agents completely ruin it for their own clients and the team as well. Asking that much money puts equivalent pressure on you to perform, not just for management and the fans but to not have bitter feelings amongst your teammates. The higher salary you demand to stay with the team the more you are potentially hurting the team, particularly if you don't perform. I get that business is just part of the game, but I'd personally rather do what Crosby or the Sedins did and take a small pay cut to show you are playing for the team and the cup and not the money. My point is, I think it would have been better for Petey and his mindset if he had taken less money and been seen as giving his team a discount. It would mean way less pressure on him and a lot more forgiveness towards his play.

[@roffew.1065]

The owners put pressure on Rutherford to get it done. Is what I'm reading

[@Seriously_Unserious]

What universe have you been living in? Pettey's been carrying the team since the start of November! He was good for at least a pair of his own goals tonight, but got Blackwooded out of them. Try living in reality for a bit, you're missing a great player making great plays by being stuck in last Spring when he was hobbling on half a knee with only half a line on his wings. Remember, when he wasn't scoring, he had a dude on his wings in the midst of managing to score only ONE goal in 61 games with a nearly 60 assist guy centring him. His other winger for much of the season was 4th Liner Lafferty, who lacks the scoring touch, though he can bump and bang well enough.

Couples cryers lose again but our game tonight was Unbelievable, man….The Oilers totally outplayed the Panthers tonight, but of course, the refs were totally biased, calling all the soft penalties against us. You could see it…every time we had a chance to break through, some random non-call or weak penalty screws us over. It’s ridiculous. If the Oilers didn’t have to play against the refs AND the Panthers, we would’ve crushed them. Florida’s nothing compared to us anyway. Let’s be real, we should’ve won the Cup last year.. but injuries, bad luck, and, yeah, some bad officiating kept us from lifting it. But this year? It’s OUR year. We have the most firepower in the league, and everyone knows it. And don't even get me started on Calgary losing to Florida too. Can you imagine? They couldn’t even hang with the Panthers, and they still think they’re contenders. Meanwhile, the Oilers are built for greatness. You know the Panthers can’t keep up with McDavid and Draisaitl, so don’t even act like this game means anything. We’re just biding our time until the playoffs, where we’ll show everyone who the real powerhouse is. Florida's just lucky tonight.
