[Trade] Van acquires Louis Domingue. Markstrom may have knee issues.

Being sent home today, but early reports are 3 - 4 weeks.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little concerned. But I think Demko will be fine and Canucks still make the playoffs.

My guess? Canucks goaltending doesn't miss a beat.


Edit - Province is reporting it's a torn meniscus. Nothing on severity or when he happened. Some speculation it was when he got bowled over in the Minnesota game. So that means he possibly played then Boston game with it.


Domingue makes sense, especially if this is a minor issue. Means we don't have to bring DiPietro up, who is currently the starter down in Utica and playing well. Domingue will still be waiver eligible if Markstrom is back quickly, allowing him to be sent down and play a back-up role to DiPietro after Richard Bachman went back to Europe.

Markstrom’s lights out play has hidden a lot of the Canucks warts. You guys are screwed.

Him missing 3-4 weeks is going to be a major loss for the Canucks. Demko will have to sink or swim. Domingue doesn’t have the greatest stat line this year either.

I was down for 2 weeks after I had a meniscus repair, started rehab on day 4 after the surgery. I wouldn't dance on the grave of the canuck's playoff hopes just yet.

exactly... the Oil lost McDavid and Klefbom and survived.

still have Demko who now has a chance to shine and the Canucks have a lot of fire power to score themselves out of trouble.

interesting that his return timeline is similar to Boeser's.

the Canucks could enter the playoffs with a rested Marky and Boeser.

Missing your MVP goalie is a lot different than missing your MVP forward.

Just wait until the draft when they don't have a 1st or 2nd or a cup (obviously)

[blender]

I watch a fair bit of Canucks hockey and I'd say Demko has the skills to get the job done, but he is very young and an NHL playoff race is a real test. The challenge is mental as much as physical.

[powderjunkie]

Canucks will probably need to extend Markstrom to get him to come back at anything less than 110% condition. Since it's a relatively minor injury, Markstrom could be walking into UFA on a high note like George Costanza leaving a meeting...especially if the Canucks crumble without him.

With extended games here, we will see those Demko numbers improve. I'd put money on that.

How much money? ouch.

I would suggest that's why people are making the point - because Flames fans know it all too well.
So not really glasses houses, but more informed opinion.

[Moneyhands23]

I would suggest that one or two of those drafted players may surprise you in the futre.

[djsFlames]

Pettersen and Zav look like steals.

Round 6> is the Flames' new 4th round.
