Yeah, as bad as the Canucks were (and it still went 7), Demko eliminates them for sure.
What fortune to line up a rookie goalie (and he still took them the distance).
That run was a pig in a dress with rainbow dust.
Nice comeback against fhe Panthers, but then their top guys completely no-showed in game 7 and that's why they aren't winners and may never be.
Close but no cigar despite getting all the fortune a team could ask for is exactly what that arrogant, mouth-running fanbase deserves.
