Who was it that was asking if they should cheer for the Canucks?

Cause this is the sort of thing you get to look forward to.

Hi, it's me, the guy who was looking forward to a Canucks postseason run because he cheered for them a long time ago as a kid.

Game 1 was fun though.

Yeah Demko's day to day right up until after this series the Canucks admit he had surgery the night of game 2.

Impressions after spending the last 4 hours watching yesterday's games:

* If you're just now realizing that God hates the Vancouver Canucks I don't know what to tell you.

* Already pumped for the Leafs somehow gaining and then inevitably blowing a 3-1 series lead.

* $DEITY, watching the Islanders turtle for 55 minutes is horrible. So loving glad it blew up in their faces at the end. And yet, if that's what you're gonna do against a good team, the Carolina Hurricanes are the right opponent for it. Hurricanes dominating the stat sheet but struggling to gain traction in the playoffs because they can't finish and their goaltending is bad... what year is it??

* Boy does Logan Thompson suck. 5-hole, boss? What's that? ...at least that's my impression because I think I've watched him play maybe 12 times and he's let in horrible goals in like 10 of them. Then I look him up and he has a career .918 so I guess he's actually pretty good?

* What the hell has happened to Jake Oettinger? If he'd just stayed good for one more year the Stars may well have cruised to the Cup.

* Does Zach Hyman have the greatest job in sports or what? Just get near the net and let McDavid bounce goals in off of you.

* That said, Darude, please tell me even more about how this year's Edmonton Oilers are totally different from the Edmonton Oilers of the last 6 years. :allears:

He does give up softies, but he's usually pretty good about shrugging them off.

Also Vegas is very good at taking pressure off their goalies

For fucks sake, what a let down. Certainly possible with a game lead that DeSmith or Silovs can find 3 more wins - butay series against McDavid without Demko isnt going to be remotely competitive.

Maybe in another ten years they can have another good season.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Hoping Demko will be alright for round 2, should Vancouver make it that far. And if they can't get through Nashville without him, they'd be toast against the rest of the field anyway.

I don't expect DeSmith to steal any games but I don't expect him to blow any, either. Thankfully Vancouver has an actual team.

Yeah when he played while Demko was out on injury, he was playing pretty well actually. It was the rest of the team that really degraded and dragged things down. Hoping we get some top-tier DeSmith with a top-tier team to back him up.

Some Islanders fans thought Canes Twitter was too mean last night, so they doxxed a staffer that they thought made the posts. They were supposedly trying to start a rumor that she'd slept with a player.

The Canes VP of Marketing said nobody was getting fired over a few "soft fans" and that they'd removed some names from the website to protect staff. And apparently the woman getting harassed wasn't even the person tweeting yesterday.

I love it. I made a save like that in road hockey when I was 15 and have felt amazing about it for the rest of my life.

Obviously it's better goaltending if you simply don't get caught out so badly that you need to make a flailing stop like that, but nothing looks better than robbing a guy with a completely open net.
