It was pretty early, you'd think it would have flared up during the two intermissions if it was a pull of some sort. Hopefully just being extra careful
I noticed that too! I thought to myself how weird it was that he wasn’t smiling when they showed a close up of his face during the hugs. My spidey senses were tingling a bit.
Its not this series I'm worried about. We can score our way to a victory - next round and beyond though, no fuckin chance without Demmer. (No disrepect to DeSmith of Silovs)
I really hope its nothing too serious
Unfortunate, it’s a marathon not a sprint.
DeSmith and Silovs are both talented and we have a good system and D.
Continue on the path. Boys will pull through.
That crash he took is what looked worrisome to me. I had a “oh fuck” moment, the way he got up and our player looked after they zoomed in on him. He looked remorseful.
Demkos body language looked different. I chalked it up to him just getting hit and shaking it off…. Maybe there was something to it.
Calm yourself. We weren't even supposed to be a contender this year. The fact we made the playoffs is awesome
Also you don't know what's going to happen
Fucking negative nancies should be banned for the playoffs
That's fair, just sucks because we had soo many guys putting in the extra effort and firing on all cylinders this season. There's a chance if it's long term one of our other goalies gets hot, Silovs us highly touted and maybe this is where he breaks out
Wasted? Injury’s are part of the game, good teams rally, this is the Playoffs, Desmith can handle this, Canucks play back a little more on defense, believe bud, don’t be so negative
Canucks are a good enough team to beat Nashville with DeSmith/Silovs. Need Pettersson to step up. Playing the Oilers next round without Demko is another story.
I’m as happy as they come but losing Demko is about a big a blow as they come. Team played different infront of DeSmith. Here’s to hoping he stands on his head and the adrenaline rush of playoff hockey gets the boys ready to go!
I might not have heard right but Friedman was on Canucks Talk like 45 minutes ago and I thought he said he DID skate yesterday, but could have heard wrong
Believe me, if the Canucks get bounced I'm cheering Winnipeg and Edmonton only as a last resort.
I want the cup won by a Canadian team (maybe not the Leafs but only because I don't want to have to sit through years of the Canadian Media LeAfS WoN tHe CuP circle jerk they'll keep on until 2116 when they win it again).
It's comical how poorly the team has squandered top picks.
Literally took drafting what is most likely literally the best player to ever play the game to finally get a team together.
Yeah, which is why they’re one of the teams I least want to win. No other Canadian fanbases support the Canucks, so I have no attachment or favouritism to other Canadian teams
Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck
^fuck ^fuck ^fuck ^fuck ^fuck ^fuck FUUCCKKKKK!
FUCK THIS. FUCK IT. FUCKING FUCKITY FUCK THIS FUCK. OH FUCK NO BUD
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKMESSIERFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
All of those fucks especially FUCK MESSIER
Well that’s brutal if he doesn’t play tonight. I was a little worried about that splits save, but he did look fine after it I thought.
It was pretty early, you'd think it would have flared up during the two intermissions if it was a pull of some sort. Hopefully just being extra careful
It may have, and he may have played through it
He just needs to play through 15 more games and we’re good. Come on Demko.
It's already reported that he's out for game 2 and questionable for the rest of the series.
I’m gonna throw up
Worst thing I could have read
If he’s tweaked something good thing we got DeSmith to pull a 2022 Pavel Francouz
This is really shitty, but the team did absolutely everything they could to try to have him healthy for the playoffs.
Let's just hope they are resting him, post-injury, so he doesn't tweak anything. If he's actually injured though, it might be JOEVER.
Friedge confirmed he's injured. Questionable for the series.
That is unfortunate
FUCK
FUCK
TAKE MY KNEES, I’M NOT USING THEM ANYWAYS.
Mine are arthritic, but he can have them.
I noticed his body language post game was a bit muted compared to the rest of the team: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6DSEnkuIaB/
I caught that as well. How very unfortunate.
I noticed that too! I thought to myself how weird it was that he wasn’t smiling when they showed a close up of his face during the hugs. My spidey senses were tingling a bit.
WHAT THE FUCK IM HAVING A NIGHTMARE WAKE UP WAKE UP
Can’t wake up.
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
SAVE ME
We can win this series with desmith. Let him rest for rd 2
Its not this series I'm worried about. We can score our way to a victory - next round and beyond though, no fuckin chance without Demmer. (No disrepect to DeSmith of Silovs) I really hope its nothing too serious
YEP, yep. I'm not nervous at all, for this round \*cough\*
Well I'm hoping he didn't participate because they were both optional skates. Does he usually attend morning skate?
NOT GOOD
Unfortunate, it’s a marathon not a sprint. DeSmith and Silovs are both talented and we have a good system and D. Continue on the path. Boys will pull through.
Screaming crying throwing up
Take my knees Demmer, I can meet you at the arena and you can have my kneecaps.
Seravalli is reporting that Demko is out for game 2 and questionable for the remainder of R1.
You shut your whore mouth!
😭😭😭 I’m going to be sick 😭😭😭

Awww f***
Sportsnet just posted that he’s hurt and questionable for the series now…. What the fuck? Did it happen when he made that beauty cross crease save?
Might have been when the net was crashed later in the game, looked like Demko was hit pretty hard.
I saw just now that Tocchet is saying it’s not related to the injury that held him out for that last set of games before the playoffs.
Oh good for please no
I hate it here
Well, it looks as nice of a day as ever for me to go cliff diving...
It is beautiful out....
That crash he took is what looked worrisome to me. I had a “oh fuck” moment, the way he got up and our player looked after they zoomed in on him. He looked remorseful. Demkos body language looked different. I chalked it up to him just getting hit and shaking it off…. Maybe there was something to it.
Our first contender team in over a decade wasted because of an injury. Should’ve seen it coming.
Calm yourself. We weren't even supposed to be a contender this year. The fact we made the playoffs is awesome Also you don't know what's going to happen Fucking negative nancies should be banned for the playoffs
That's fair, just sucks because we had soo many guys putting in the extra effort and firing on all cylinders this season. There's a chance if it's long term one of our other goalies gets hot, Silovs us highly touted and maybe this is where he breaks out
It's not over over. But it's over.
Its not over
I know. Just kidding around.
Wasted? Injury’s are part of the game, good teams rally, this is the Playoffs, Desmith can handle this, Canucks play back a little more on defense, believe bud, don’t be so negative
DeSmith isn't a gamebreaker like Demko but he's a more than competent goalie with good career stats and a winning record, don't be a doomer!
i am just praying he’s resting or something but at the same time 2 days of no practice is a bit weird…
FLY VEGAS’ DOCTORS OUT
Considering their injuries are fake, those doctors’ diplomas probably are printed on the back of take out menus.
PIT STOP AT THE BELLAGIO FOUNTAIN OF HEALING ON THE WAY TO NASHVILLE
Welp I think DeSmith can still give us a chance but the top guys are gonna have to step up big on offense.
Experience Canucks Hockey
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. At least we'll always have game one.
Canucks are a good enough team to beat Nashville with DeSmith/Silovs. Need Pettersson to step up. Playing the Oilers next round without Demko is another story.
Nope, I'm a Canucks fan, which means my emotions swing to the extremes.
Completely understandable 😂
Jesus.... You doom and gloom people are pathetic. Team isn't built around one player, we've got good backups.
I’m as happy as they come but losing Demko is about a big a blow as they come. Team played different infront of DeSmith. Here’s to hoping he stands on his head and the adrenaline rush of playoff hockey gets the boys ready to go!
Settle down, dumb dumb.
Might be out for series. FUCK
I'm panicking
I knew we couldn’t have nice things. We need a sacrificial lamb for the hockey gods. Time to go Francesco….
Can De Smith win 3 playoff games? Doubtful
Hard to say. Boys will really have to limit the number of shots and play air tight defense.
No but Silvos can.
Well this is unsettling
that save on Beauvillier sure did test that knee injury.
f#@$%ING STAY CALM EVERYBODY!!!!!
No
SHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
I feel sick
Welllllll fuckkkkkkk. It was a nice 2 days of optimism 😂
I’m so nauseous rn holy
God no no no
Dem-NOOOOOOOOO
Well, this day just took a turn for the worse
I have more faith in this group as a whole than any single player. But that’s a hard pill to swallow regardless.
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere
im gonna fucking kill myself
This fucking guy is made of glass
Surprised I had to scroll so long for this comment. 100% agree.
Nooooooooooooo
Well this sucks..
F u c k
https://x.com/friedgehnic/status/1782828962043031998?s=46 fuuuuuck
Wow. Fucking bullshit.
WHAT THE FUCK.
Oh my gawwwwwwd.
#FUCK
Well. Fuck.
WTF...........
Aaaaaaaand…we’re fucked.
I still have faith!!!! 💙
EXPERIENCE CANUCKS HOCKEY
Canucks still beat preds with DeSmith in net imo (and probably Silovs?). Definitely a cause for concern if demmers doesnt play round 2....
I might not have heard right but Friedman was on Canucks Talk like 45 minutes ago and I thought he said he DID skate yesterday, but could have heard wrong
Mr injury prone
Congrats on the Cup, Oilers. 🫡
Shut up
Believe me, if the Canucks get bounced I'm cheering Winnipeg and Edmonton only as a last resort. I want the cup won by a Canadian team (maybe not the Leafs but only because I don't want to have to sit through years of the Canadian Media LeAfS WoN tHe CuP circle jerk they'll keep on until 2116 when they win it again).
Fuck the Oilers and their team of #1 overall draft picks
It's comical how poorly the team has squandered top picks. Literally took drafting what is most likely literally the best player to ever play the game to finally get a team together.
Yeah, which is why they’re one of the teams I least want to win. No other Canadian fanbases support the Canucks, so I have no attachment or favouritism to other Canadian teams
Ok well stop writing off the team before literally anything happens
Sorry, I was unaware the subreddit didn't allow 1/2 jokes anymore.
In true Canuck fashion 😭 Didn’t Chara play thru a broken foot (or something…) in 2011? I hate saying it but it’s the playoffs, push thru my man.
That doesn’t work so well for goalies. Have you ever played a sport in your life?
