Carol Schram: Backup Spencer Martin recalled as Canucks hit the road against the Wild With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, the Vancouver Canucks face a virtual must-win on Thursday in Minnesota, where Spencer Martin will back up Thatcher Demko after Jaroslav Halak was injured on Tuesday against Ottawa.

Thanks Carol

Just a quick point, I believe Demko may have been sick on Tues, a fan posted a video of what appeared to be him puking into a bucket during a TV timeout in the 3rd.

Could be that he thought the odds of him having to play were low and he felt comfortable sitting on the bench so they sent Martin back down.

Thanks Carol!

Thanks Carol!

I suspect that could be what happened, even though Boudreau denied it.

Many Thanks Carol. Here's who I've got.

Halak has been the worst goalie in the league this season.

14 starts 17 games played and 4 wins.

Matt Murray might be the only goalie worse than Halak this season.

Thanks Carol!

Canucks are going to need to win a close one tonight. 1-0, Boeser with the lone PP tally. Need to keep the shots against in the 20’s I think, and even though the Wild PP isn’t as good as the Canucks, staying out of the box is a must.

Halak has been the worst goalie in the league this season.

To be fair, he played pretty well early in the season and should have 3-4 more W’s easily. Team was just trash early on and couldn’t score.

Win or lose, I hope this game will be as exciting as the last 7 or 8 have been.

Most of these games are 9PM local time, tonight 7PM which is way better.

As you said I'm not concerned with the result as much as the entertainment factor.

Just outright false. His win/loss looks bad, but he was getting no goal support for at least half of those starts.

How is Petey unsung? He's been the most talked about player on the team for like 2 months now

I’m afraid the playoffs are all but dead, however, since Boudreau took over the hockeys been fun and exciting again. Looking forward to next season under Bruce Boudreau.

How did Minny get so good seemingly so quick? Most likely a 105-110 point season with 50 wins.

Thank you Carol

Also got rid of the old guys, that were making too much money.

Well done Carol.

TBH I think the season may have been toast when we dropped those games to DET-BUF-CHI not sure if we got 1 point from those lol.

But it's been exciting to watch the club play games that mean something.

.668% winning under Boudreau.

lol I have a Minny-NYR SCF as my backup in my pool and I will clean up if it happens. COL-TBAY was my other but I think I should have taken FLA.

Everybody is talked about on the roster daily. Most don't have an impact in every facet of the game that Petey has.

Mike Tyson speed bags some clown on a flight, had it coming.
