Fuck it we ball
Who is this? A civilian?
Hockey gods: “Looks like you’ve finally made the playoffs after all these years AAAAAAND it’s gone.”
seems weird since he traveled with the team

Mods!!!!! Delete this Sub ASAP. We have nothing left to live for.
BAH GAWD IS THAT THE SOUND OF ME CRYING INTO A PILLOW?
If it aint friedman ion wanna hear it
Take it one game at a time. If Demmers is really out, then so be it. He got us up to this point, we trudge on without him between the pipes.
This seems like some random person. I’ll wait till someone credible confirms this before I freak out
hello darkness my old friend
Her Twitter feed is ramble-y and attention grabbing as fuck. I’m staying far away from this talking head and their opinions.
If it’s true. Fuck. But we’re still in it. Let’s fucking go boys
STFU Sara!!

If desmith doesn’t look great next game let’s see of silovs has that dog in him, could be our cam ward miracle run
EXPERIENCE CANUCKS HOCKEY
I’m hearing that we should stop speculating. Until it’s someone from the Canucks organization announcing it I won’t believe it, all these constant posts with speculation about Demko are just too stressful.
I’m getting so much whiplash with the reporting on this . I’m inclined to believe Dhali more considering the connections he has. Only one who knows for sure is demko.
Demko is injury prone….too injury prone.
This sucks.
Realistically, the only way we make a deep playoff run is if DeSmith or Silovs play way above their level or the offense picks up the slack. If we even made it deep into the second round, it would show that one of those things happened and we didn’t end up needing Demko anyway. So whether his injury was 2 weeks or 6, the outlook of our team changes without him.
Why can’t we have nice things
Just fell to my knees in a Safeway
We all knew this was coming. Week to week means realistically at least 3 weeks. Going out for that long and returning mid playoffs was never a likely scenario. Just have to hope the boys can push to round 2 and get some playoff experience.
Shut the fuck lil dick
It went from day to day to week to week, now it’s done for the playoffs
Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow I won’t see Demko announcing retirement
I’m going to wait for Dhaliwal to confirm, he made it sound like it wasn’t THAT bad, she may be the canes reported I just don’t see her having that many connections to the Canucks
I love Demko but the dude is so fucking injury prone.
2015 – hip surgery
2016 – 1 upper body injury
2018 – concussion
2019 – concussion
2020 – clean bill of health
2021 – 1 lower body injury, 1 undisclosed injury
2022 – 1 lower body injury, 1 undisclosed injury
2023 – clean bill of health
2024 – 2 lower body injuries
They’re becoming more frequent throughout his career.
Nobody reporter taking a stab at being the first to say Demko is done done, so it will look like she breaks something big. Clout chasing. Not credible.
Greatly hurt our chances but it’s a huge chance for DeSmith/ Silovs to step in and become our hero.
Well it’ll still be entertaining to see how far they can go anyways. It’s not like a decade or two ago when the name of the game in the playoffs changed from « hockey » to « goalie. »
At some point Silovs will get a start and we can enjoy a brief hope for a hockey miracle as we find out how well he can compete with the goalie on the other side of the ice. He will get a start. One feather in his cap is he has displayed poise under extreme pressure before and that’s not nothing and the giant defense will shield him or die trying.
If you’ve ever played Darkest Dungeon there comes a point when a character is under so much pressure they completely snap but there’s a low percentage chance they shine in the darkness when all hope is supposed to be lost. It’s rare but, like I say, we can only hope for a hockey miracle now.
Our existence is absolute pain
That. is. unfortunate.
We should probably wait for this to be corroborated before taking someone that doesn’t report on the Canucks’ word
Considering that every other journalist and the coach has not said this, except for Sara Civ who I’ve never heard of, I would take this with a pretty substantial grain of salt.
Desmith will not be the reason we don’t win in the playoffs. But he won’t steal us games either.
It’s going to be an uphill battle and unless our offense does a 180, we’re toast. We’re going to have to out score our problems in net when we’re already struggling to score.
The only thing we have going for us is that we have three games to figure it out. Oh, and we gotta figure it out for our goaltending on the road.
Yikes.
Demko guaranteed second maybe third round. I have faith in Desmith as much as anyone. It’s an opportunity for him to shine.
It’s not the Demko/Markstom argument again about having 2 first starters.
Desmith is an above average goalie in the league he just may not be ready for what’s coming.
Who tf is Sara
Who is she?
Casey has a chance to become a Vancouver legend for eternity
if they can’t beat nashville without demko they didn’t even deserve to be in the playoffs to begin with tbh
So both Friedman and Dreger have recently said:
“It’s a significant injury.” And “I don’t like what I’m hearing”
Whereas Dhaliwal has said:
“A lot of the reports that this is a serious injury and he could be out months and months – not hearing that.”
Looks like there’s two separate messages being sent out.
Wait and see I guess.
Also if tomorrow night doesn’t go well its def time for Silovs:

Alright well, DeSmith and Silvos and the rest need to step up start blocking and do a better job.

I made peace with this already, I’m not surprised.
This is our chance to prove if we are legit contenders or not. If losing Demko dooms us in the first round then we’ve got a big problem. We have been one of the best teams in the league all season and now it’s time to prove it. Nashville is just a bubble team that got hot at the right time. We shouldn’t need Demko to advance to the second round.
On the plus side. (Future that is). This is our first year back. Our core hasn’t hit its prime yet. I’m just happy we made it. The future is bright. Making the playoffs was a win. Winning a round is a big win! We want the cup. Fuck yea! But at the end of the day. I’m proud of the boys this year.
So 3 games.
Genuinely tragic shit. Absolute dagger through the heart stuff.
Desmith is never going to be more than a backup. Put Silovs in there and see if there is some playoff magic.
