You can win with an amazing group of talented defensemen and mediocre goaltending, but you can't win with great goaltending and mediocre defense. Defense is the most important position in hockey....#checkmate

Tim Thomas, Braden Holtby, Jordan Binnington, Johnathan Quick x2. If you want to go further back, Patrick Roy's cups with the Canadiens. None of these D corps screamed Cup Champs. A hot Goalie trumps all and can cover defensive warts like no other position.

In the end, there's more than one path to a championship. Good Defense is a team effort, period. Great Goaltending stands on it own. 🖕

I'm sticking with my theory, even though I know it's wrong, I just wanted to oppose you.

If you're making the hot goalie argument I think Adin Hill and Jordan Binnington are better examples. Average goalies who get hot for a month and win cups

Dhaliwal said Canucks called on Chris Kreider but he's guessing they're on his no trade list.

Binnington is on there. I didn't include Hill because I liked Vegas' Defensive game going into that playoffs. Personal opinion.

Fair enough, they did have an above average D corps. Matt Murray in 2016 is another. I know the Penguins were good but the man had a .930

You'll have to be more specific. There's 2 Matt Murray's now.

Just kidding. Another good example.

Just 15 more points and EP40 will pass Todd Bertuzzi to become 9th in Canucks "All Time" scoring. Kids such an amazing player.

Looking at the opponents over the next 3 games I think the logical game to start is tomorrow, give Lanks TB and then let Thatcher decide on how he feels about the Blues on Tuesday.

Jim Rutherford on JT Miller rumours to Patrick Johnston : “Don’t start making stuff up on someone in his situation. That’s disrespectful,” he said. “People that do this for fun, or for a living, just go back to making up trade rumours.”

“No, we are not trading him. We stand by him.”

Couldnt agree more, quit pecking hens!

Those teams all had great D corps, actually.

That's because the Goaltending made them look better than they were.

Agree to disagree on that one Hill and Bennington aren’t that great, very solid D in front of them though.

Sounds like Demko is applying a bit of pressure through the media to get back in the line up.
