Can the Canucks survive without Thatcher Demko?

1. Demko is a legit Vezina candidate. Lankinen and Silovs is a good tandem.
   Last year Vancouver was always scoring around 3.4 goals per game. They have more scoring depth this year and EP is going to be a big story in the league this year.
   The core will show more veteran maturity.
   They are hungry.
   Lankinen and Silovs will have the run support and their games will be above the necessary tier.

2. The Canucks are a top 4 D away from being a contender. That D core is reasonably deep but deep in fringe, bottom pairing NHL defensemen.

3. Quality show dude, keep it up. GO KINGS GO!

4. the one thing about the draisaitl take, is that I don't believe that he could carry the oilers on his own, but that's just an opinion

5. hot take: Meyers has to drop to the ice because he is getting caught out of position, instead of being on a man or blocking a passing lane.

   #2: Sam Besson [buffalo sabers rookie] is going to be a problem for defenses with the way he plays in front of the net. he play's like garland hard till the whistle but when the whistle goes the play is done instantly. I think he will be very disciplined for penalties

6. Whale team great!

7. Honestly convinced that Ian Clark makes the goalie and who we have in net doesn't matter

8. The team makes the goalie, the goalie doesn't make the team.

9. No bug like people say he’s the second best and I don’t think he’s that good. What about mckinnon, kucherov, or hellebyuk

10. as a goalie who lost his chances due to injury……………. this is reverse cory schnieder. recovery v.s. longevity. i could put money down that Demko ( my personal most hyped canuck goalie) goes to market or signs for cheaper to stay.

11. you were definitely more stoned than usual making this one weren't you nuckhead?

12. THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS ARE GREAT!

13. Pure clickbait. Who gives a boo-hickey what some numbnuts says about not needing Demko. You don't build a 7 minute video around it. Or you do, and lose subscribers.

14. Best Canucks content. Period

15. Definitely tempering my expectations.. Šilovs for the Vezina ❤🎉

16. its ok, now they got so many other (backup / backup-backup) goalies;
    silovs, tolopilovs, lekkerinakininn, pantera, & san fernando (+ty young

17. Yes we have silovs, if we lose silovs then no, we have no chance 👍 let's go nucks

18. 0:13 … lol. Agreed.

19. 2:26, we need Demko to be great.

20. Best videos on Canucks here

21. I think the Canucks will probably finish 4th or 5th in the league, 2 in the division (behind the Oilers). Unless something really bad happens in Edmonton again, or Silovs continues to play like he did in the playoffs, I just don't know if they can catch the Oilers once Demko is back. I'm thinking 53 win Oilers and 50 win Canucks, really close.

22. Demko should get traded, idc.

23. I only get to watch highlights in South Africa. Go Canucks, my Jersey is out washed and ready for this season.

24. he hasn't even played an AHL game yet…. where is that stat graphic coming from? 3:15

25. the first comment isn't even a hot take it's a fact

26. All I'm gonna say is it's not looking good for Demko

27. lol Draisaitl not overrated? He would be nothing without McCrybaby

28. In Artur, We trust 🙏

29. Garland scores 30+ goals or I dono $100

30. Canucks need to sign Phil The Thrill Kessel. Guaranteed 40+ goal scorer and 100+ points just in 10 games

31. Hot take kinda, the Canucks need to unretire Rick Tocchet and move him to the third line defensive

32. Ppl Who Subed In Season 1
    👇

33. I think at least of where this team is, would be close to where the 08-09 team was, maybe 09-10, but goaltending would be the biggest question mark if Demko isn't healthy. I mostly worry that in 7 years from now when we look back will think "we could have had it, if Demko was healthy".

34. leave my Demko alone!

35. Hot take: Nils Big Hog Hoglander will take on a bigger role in the team this year, take another step in improving his career

36. LFGGGG 2-0 in preseason can’t wait for another season of nuckhead

37. Your takes suck

38. Why is no one watching the nuckhead podcasts?
