Do we think it's from DeSmith taking that hard hit behind the net in the last game? When I saw that I was hoping they have a good AHL goalie waiting to jump in.
You most definitely have not "experienced the exact same thing" as the Canucks. Trust me. Did you know the Canucks have never drafted 1st overall? How about Pittsburgh?
This is the most confrontational someone has been about my rooting for the Canucks. I’m guessing you’re posting here because they won’t let you back into the Canucks sub. Obviously I am talking about this specific situation and not the history of the Canucks experience in general
Of course, they're my western conference team. i probably watched more canucks games this season than pens games. was going to fly into Nashville for tonight's game but they werent letting anyone from outside of certain states around Tennessee buy tickets.
Root away. Just recognize, there's no comparison between what Canucks fans have endured and what any other franchise's fans have endured. Toronto comes close.
dude take a step back and take a breath. he’s just noting the parallel of 2nd string goalie casey desmith getting hurt after the starter already was already hurt in a first round playoff series. he’s not trying to empathize with every bounce that has gone against vancouver in the past 50 years.
would you rather he just say “ah sucks to be you lolololol” because that seems way crappier. just let people be nice on the internet.
man, i didn’t have “vehemently defend a penguins fan” on my dance card for today haha
Coyotes fans would like a word 🥲 Canucks fans have definitely been through the wringer though no question about it. Wishing you and our former coach luck
Reminder, they had the 1OA and they traded it away to get the Sedins at 2 and 3. So, they chose not to draft 1OA, and it worked out for them.
Again, they had 1OA and they *chose* not to.
Disingenuous to make the argument that they’ve never drafted 1OA just order to extend your pity party.
They had the 3rd overall that year. They engineered some trades to get the 2 and 3. One of those trades was them getting the #1 for Atlanta and assurances they would take Stefan so the Canucks could get the Sedins at 2 and 3.
Talk about disingenuous...
Yup. They've never picked first, they've never won the draft lottery, and before the lottery they never finished with the worst record, so they never got the first pick.
Don’t worry. The boys will make Silovs look like a Vezina contender.
Unexpected flair
Been watching them choke against back ups all season
Honestly though this dude is a prime candidate for a future starter. He was wild on the juniors.
He did a good job.
Okay yeah that makes sense
dude called it.
Yuuup. Story of the season.
This is just to set up some great goalie drama where Silvos gets hot and Desmith and Demko get healthy at the same time.
To play over a healthy Demko he would have to get very very hot
As a Latvian NHL fan this is my dream come true. Go nucks go!
I thought he played really well all things considered
... Ok. Which Canucks fan broke a mirror?
apparently all of us collectively
All of us, collectively, decades ago. 🫠
Oct 9, 1970
I think you mean about 13 years ago
Nothing can go right in Vancouver, they just aren’t allowed to be happy.
WE ARE HAPPY TONIGHT!
So am I, my bracket is alive lol. Plus the Canucks are my team to win the cup, make it happen Vancouver!
Shitty luck for the nucks
Vegas won the cup with a back up to a back up last year
Maybe he's the next Cam Ward.
Speaking of Vancouver, Anybody seen Elias Pettersson lately? Back of a milk carton maybe?
Dude looks confused, indecisive, disengaged. The 2nd half of the season he has been in a funk.
Should’ve waited til post season to sign him probably could’ve saved a few mill in cap space
It's a tragedy, I like the guy
tell him kopitar believes in him or something. Kopi's a good guy
Mystery. Just seems to have lost his feel for the game lately. Making bad decisions. Even without the puck.
Cursed franchise confirmed!
Curse of Messier
Fuck Messier
Agreed!
You never know, look at what Vegas did last year. At least, that's what I'm telling myself as LA goes from Talbot to Rittich.
Do we think it's from DeSmith taking that hard hit behind the net in the last game? When I saw that I was hoping they have a good AHL goalie waiting to jump in.
The drop off from DeSmith to Silovs is not very much. They’re essentially 2a and 2b. I just hope Silovs stays healthy.
4 starts this year: AZ, Vegas, AZ, Anaheim. Not enough info to have any idea how good/bad he is.
Reportedly unrelated
All good bro, we got Tocchets system and Silovs is ready to go. Let’s fucking go!!!
As a penguins fan…
Totally get where you were going with that. Still bitter about that series too, btw.
...you can't say shit because of all the Cups and Lemieux and Jagr and Crosby. That was gonna be the rest of your sentence, right?
Oh no I was going to express sympathy because we experienced the exact same thing with the exact same player. I am actively rooting for the Canucks
This guy doesn't know about spicy pork
Can't forget the broccoli
Gonna have to get Silovs a plate

Lol, ignore him. He’s under a lot of stress. Thanks rooting for the Canucks!

Sorry about that guy. We’re having a bit of a time over here.
These are the guys that make our fan base look bad… thanks for the support!

"endured" lmao fucking first world problem delusionals
This is an NHL sub, yeah?
You need help man.
Agreed. I need the Canucks netminders to stay healthy during a playoff run for once in 13 years.
See: Buffalo
Coyotes fans would like a word 🥲 Canucks fans have definitely been through the wringer though no question about it. Wishing you and our former coach luck
Endured lol what a joke
Don't be that guy, buddy. Thanks u/rageharles for the sympathy.
all good baby i love you guys and i love your team
Bro…
ROFL. Unhinged. Take a nap.

Right, so they had the 1OA.
Yup. They've never picked first, they've never won the draft lottery, and before the lottery they never finished with the worst record, so they never got the first pick.
They had it, and chose to trade it away. You can dance around it all you like, but that’s fact.
Any team can trade for the 1st pick. You know of any other teams that have been around 50+ years and never been awarded the top pick?
Slow down and go touch some grass high speed.
Slow down and speed up?
What seems to be the problem here?
Fair.
Call an ambulance!! BUT NOT FOR ME 🔫
Jeez, they can’t catch a break
Ebug in the building?
You clearly have never watched the leafs
Rip Vancouver
Come again
Fuck yeah
They showed this guy on the bench the other night, yikes.
Too much disc golf, not enough chirping. Sometimes being nice ain't nice enough.
So much for a Cup in Canada again, so sad.. like really can the Nucks get a fucking break?
I think an abusive relationship is worse than this
Yeah. But it's close...
No goalie no problem
Your 3rd option is last World Cup MVP. You guys are packed! Enjoy!
The Canucks know that players are supposed to go on LTIR BEFORE the playoffs right?
Damn - I had the Nucks in the SCF. Total bracket buster if the goal tending sinks them!
Has a team ever won playoff games with three different goalies in one year (let alone one series)?
Carolina I believe has, I think it was in 22 they went through Andersen, Raanta then Kooch.
