Demko is slowly taking over the #1 goalie status.
Virtanen had 8 goals last season after 20 games and finished with 15.

I like Demko but we need to see a bigger sample size. I’d like to see him play 40 % of the games this year.

As an aside can they just park Louie’s lazy ass? He played what, 5 minutes the other night? Surely Zack MacEwen can bring more to the table than Chef’s boi toi Louie.

Jake will never score more than 15 goals in a season. If he does it will be as flukey as Aucoin and Garrison scoring 20 in one season

JV just to rain on my parade lol, but he's older now and much wiser. :D

Yup hope Demko earns more starts as the season progresses.

Like Andrew Ladd - Loui Eriksson should hit waivers and join Utica, it's MacEwen time, he's a beast out there.

Eriksson making $6M this season *(correction, had a $4,000,000 US signing bonus July 1st, $1 million bucks salary this season) &
is doing not much to earn a spot at this point, with all the goals scored this season Loui has ZERO points.

Loui Eriksson has NO hits, 4 blocked shots, only a 43.3% CF on 5v5, provides no energy, provides no scoring help, provides no leadership, provides nothing but a able body where he won't sacrfice it to win games, he's a liability out there at this rate if he's not scoring.

MacEwen would probably have at least a few points by now in his place and provide way more sandpaper, hits, solid work along the boards and a better overall work ethic to inspire the rest of team to help win games.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Roussel has shed the non-contact jersey. He’s back to practicing for real!
Beagle is also on the ice. No Motte, Sutter or Ferland, they did not travel.

Travis Green says Ferland has been taking part in on-ice workouts. Expects Jay Beagle to play Tuesday vs. Dallas. Says the #Canucks could get Brandon Sutter back for at least a practice on this road trip. Confirms that Roussel has been cleared for contact.

Maybe there's a deal not to send him down this year if he retires in the summer?

Okay, this should probably be in the fantasy thread...

well, other than the obvious message of being scratched for a call up (and what it does to the scratched players mentality - most of the time) why the heck is MacEwen not playing for Loui while Loui is sitting in comfort in the pressbox????

I mean, if we tell Loui that he is getting a rest so he can go drinking tonight, would that scar his ego???

He could have a date night with his wife while in Dallas.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Never know, maybe getting laid by the battleaxe will spark his on ice performance.
