The Canucks were dealt a massive blow with the news that goaltender Thatcher Demko is out for Game 2 and is questionable for the rest of the series against the Predators. TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins 7-Eleven That’s Hockey to answer whether or not Vancouver has any chance of winning without their star netminder.

If Smith does not do it for the Canucks we have a world champion behind him. š Ken Dryden one the cup as a rookie. It could happen again with Silovs.
Huge loss for the canucksš¤£
Biron spot on
Cmon now Demko is always hurt and it unfortunate for the Canucks! But really DaSmith has been really good down the stretch and hes been thru playoffs before so shouldn't be a stretch for him to take it rest of way if neccessary!
Do they have a chance? A chanceā¦.? A chance? MF statistics say their chances have simply gone down.
Demko is always hurt, useless
If they were playing rhe sharks or ducks yes they can surviveā¦but a good playoff team like the predsā¦lets just say their chances just went 50/50 now
No.
That sucks. Feel bad for Nucks fans. Demko is top 5 in the league.
Its over.
WE ARE HOOPED.
crap !
Might survive the preds but thats it
Everyone is trying to stay positive and down play this, but in the back of my head i know its all over. We might get past Nashville but we will get lit up by the Oilers with either DeSmith or Silovs in net. Almost time to think about trading Demko soon if he can't stay healthy for more than a 3 game stretch.
Nope
Bye bye Nucks
Fuked
Probably a few games but not forever. They cant win without demko
Desmith?? Hahaha not even close
Vancouver is DONE !
Biron eats his elephants one bite at a time every 5 minš
We were without Demko for what? The last 2 months of the season?
Obviously we're better with him. But the boys will be fine.
Desmith is a perfectly competent backup.
NO
canucks' post season is over with the loss of demko. even if they survived the series against the preds, they are not going too far after that without him
i had high hopes for them this post season, but well, with demko gone, i can see my hopes have evaporated into the thin air….
Itās really to bad we donāt have Demko- But it is what is it. Hope pettey can get us a goal
Unfortunately for Vancouver, without a NHL goalie, Nashville will undoubtedly win the series. Good season boys, better luck next year. Hopefully by then, the Canucks get a number one goalie who isnāt injury prone.
NO! The Canucks are doomed without Demko. Especially when #40 is missing in action.
Nope. But only scoring once doesn't help either. DEAD IN THE WATER without Demko. Just like the end of the season.
Agree with Martin, but why do he need to scream?
According to the "Deserve-To-Win-O-Meter" the Canucks had an 80% chance to win toight, but poor goaltending did them in.
Silovs Time!!!
i can hear vince mcmahon's entrance theme~~
Hope demko get healthy again for next season.
the play off is over for the Canucks, unfortunately
no Demko, no Pettey… we're done for this year
the city is safe now….
1st round exit, with out demko!
Of course, they have a chance, but without Demko, the cup will never happen. If this year gets thrown away because of Demko I think the Canucks should look at other options. Demko would still have good value, and it would be better to have a goalie who can stay healthy. I would take Saros over Demko right now. Swayman, of course. Ullmark all day. Oettinger, I would do it. Demko is the better goalie, but he has the injury track record of a Carey Price, and his 30s are going to be a carbon copy of Carey's.
Lets go Casey….Lets go. …oops…..
