1 game it'd be a blip, 2 games it's a concern... 4 games is a trend and I don't see it changing tomorrow against Minny. I also think Demko's just not able to keep up against all the quality shots and chances the team and D are letting through. It's unrealistic to expect Demko to be able to have to be Dominick Hasek and make save after save after save without something having to give (namely injury to himself).

Exactly ... it's the quality of shots .... at least in the games I've seen (most of the first 3). We give up far better chances, just clear cut giveaways, guys walking right out in front and bang bang plays. That's where the save % is deceiving to me ... maybe there's an advance stat for that but I really don't know much about the deeper analytics. Just on the eye test, sure there's a few he could have saved, but there have been plenty more he could have reasonably let in. He's not playing to last year's standard yet, I'll admit that, but he's far from the problem.

For all the panic it’s still early and if this stretch happened during mid-season it would still be talked about but not nearly as much. I’d rather have the team actually be good enough to go up by a couple of goals in every game this season compared to the zero offense at the start of last season.

Demko isn’t going to have this sv% for much longer, he’s got it done before behind this poop defensive team. That alone will help

It's a good point about the scoring. That is a positive. Unfortunately, there will be dry spells on that front and if they continue to play and defend the way they are they'll just straight up lose. Won't have to worry about blown leads ... maybe then i'll be happier? hahaha

Then why didn't he do something to fix it when he had a chance? Instead, he extends the problem child.

JR's response is perplexing. I think he's waiting to see what his GM's and coaches are going to do about it?

Sounds like Jim Rutherford has arrived on the scene in an attempt to calm the waters...

Can the Canucks take advantage of another struggling team as they close out their road trip in Minnesota?

chucking 5 new forwards in this lineup this season takes a bit of time to gel no? Plus Boudreau's line combos were odd to start.

Would like:

Petey - Miller - Boeser
Pearson - Bo - Hogs
Kuz - Pods - Mikheyev
Aman - Lazar - Joshua


Turn one of Kuz Pods or Mik into a C lol
Guess we miss D!ckenson lol
