GDT: WCQF (Game 5) Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings, 10pm ET, ESPN

Canucks need to worry about not losing to Nashville before they start worrying about being happy to just be there and lose in later rounds.

Well we are hoping to win. No one expected us to beat Nashville once Demko went down.

5 on 5 goals in the series were 12-12 though the Kings had a few that were uhhh... somewhere between lucky and divine intervention. More surprised that LA didn't manage a single PP goal, that was what has kept them in the series the last couple times.

No but i guess with Demko they would risk more to play more offensively. They are not the same team without Demko back there.

Canucks were 26th/game in shots in the regular season

they never shot a lot...ever

worse in the postseason

Bouchard is emerging as a playoff superstar as well 26 points in last 17 playoff games 1.53 PPG

A lot of people don’t realize that Demko is actually one of the big leaders in the dressing room. And on the ice, the guys in front of him just play with more swagger when he’s in net.
