If he doesn’t get a contract north of 3 mil AT THE VERY LEAST next season I don’t think he’s staying. But I hope they offer him like a 5 year 4-5 mil per year deal
What do you mean? He has all the attention right now. The record start. You make it sound like you’re the only one seeing this, but you’re just parroting what people have been saying for at least a month.
He beat out Korpisalo for the 4 nations spot and I'm fairly sure it was Korpi who got so mad that he got himself blackballed from future Finland rosters.
I always thought he could be a starter when he was with the Preds, he always had to play cold for us so it masked how good he was somewhat, but you could tell he was too good to be a backup
Canucks won't be giving up Lank this year I'm pretty sure. he's so valuable and honestly I would give up Boeser before I gave up Lank if I had the choice.
i think he's doing great but we need to calm tf down with the contract signings and a pay raise for him. Having a good 20 something game to a season is not a proven goalie. Look at andrew hammond, putting up better numbers in half a season only to be forgotten about the next season. Even if lankinen has an outstanding end to the season, theres no gurantee he will return to form next season. He's making what 900k? He deserves 1.5 max next season until he can prove himself again. On that note, i'm amazed at the canucks' ability to keep finding these top tier goalies throughout the years. This goes back all the wat to loungo/schneider era. Ever since then we have not struggled with goaltending and that is a huge blessing
If the Canucks didn’t have a shot at western/cup finals I’d say give him a longer look, but Canucks are good right now and I’d ride the proven goalie in Demko. Unfortunately, like Bo Horvat, Lanks greatness this year will price him out of the backup salary range in the offseason. Unless he takes less money, which no one would advise, he’s gone next year.
Cool videos man keep it up doing really well. Btw i make videos too hope for the best for your channel. Hope for more videos like this sooner or later.
Why do Americans do that? Saves percentage .912? It's not percentage if you don't use percent. Just so you know 0.912% is a terrible saves percentage. A bling man facing the goal would stop more shots 😀
Lankinen has been a good goalie pretty much always. He needed to adjust his game to north american rinks, but he did that really fast. At the moment Canucs are getting value for their money for sure.

Great video man love your content keep it up
Under rated channel, great content
I agree
Our boy Lanks has been an absolute steal, it will be sad to see him go but he’s gonna get PAID
TSN can film part 2 series of Louie and Schnider (featuring Demko and Lakinen)

Oilers were the only team that destroyed him. Ending his 10-0 record on the road. Defence from Canuck’s was not on par.
As a swede, he is solid, he will give tre kronor one hell of a fight

w vid deserves more likes

He's getting plenty of attention hard not to notice top five for wins Stellar saves every game

Lankinen > Kiprusoff

Lankinen is gonna get a bag this coming off-season
Lanky for starter not demko !!!
Canucks got the deal of the decade signing him

Good video but why do you talk so slowly and pronounce every player’s name wrong? Lol
Pronounced “Besser”, not “Boh-sir”
Otherwise, great video.
Kevin Blankinen
I have noticed he gets beaten high glove a lot.
I mean bro if you didn't know Lankinen on the preds you just weren't paying attention
This channel needs more Attention..
This channel is underrated I’m subbing
Coulda kept him, but definitely shouldn't have given him away for nothing. SMH
Thompson
See Demko as only human after all. And Lankinen as a pleasant steal. Silovs is up and down.
You pronounced Jusse incorrect btw.
He's actually playing better in the playoff, people just don't know that, because they haven't given him a change yet. 😂
Trade Silovs for draft picks and continue with Demko and Lankinen, no brainer imo.
stadin oma poika❤️💙🤍😍
hot take. I think he could make it into the running for the vezina this year
Great video. I’d add his stellar performance helping Finland snatch the gold medal at the 2019 IIHF world championship
i didnt even know we wore from yhe same countri
i think Lankinen and maybe Blackwood is most underrated goalies in entire NHL.
We need them both 2 starters

It’s hilarious how blind people in NA are, he’s been a solid beast for 8 years now
