BC_Hawk Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) 1 hour ago, Mackcanuck said: Report from Dahliwal on Demko Sounds like it isn't too serious, and glad it isn't to do with the groin. Maybe a slight MCL or ACL sprain?? Not a terrible time for him to miss a few games; get Desmith some consecutive starts with breaks to work with Ian. In additiuon, maybe get Silovs a game or two for playoff insurance. I'd honestly sit him for 5-7 games IF DeSmith is holding down the fort.

Gurn Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 So lucky; maybe having him dinged up for a few games will finally teach the organization not to overplay him. 1 of the biggest mistakes the team has made this year, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kettlevalley Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I would like to see Silovs get a start. Not Colorado though. We got a few weak teams coming up though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taphouse Canuck Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I have faith in DeSmith. Obviously I would have preferred Demko against COL but if our D can limit the shots on net like they did on Saturday we can still come away with a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 He tweaked his knee. He'll be back in couple weeks.. This might be a blessing in disguise. Get him couple weeks off games so he'll be fresh for the playoffs.. World works in a mysterious way sometimes these things make the stars align. He'll feel fresh and go on a streak and take us to the Cup. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudreau on record recently saying he left it almost exclusively to Ian Clark and the Demmer. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a similar situation with Tocc.

Until we here directly from the Canucks tomorrow about Demko,we don't know for sure. I posted the information from a generally reliable source of information. I'm hoping more like two to three weeks at worst.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) 8 hours ago, Ghostsof1915 said: In before the Anti Rick crowd chimes in that he pushed Thatcher into too many starts..... Not part of the anti Rick crowd, but there is valid concern around overplaying Demko. Demko has shown that when healthy he's one of the top goalies in the league. However, he has also shown that when he gets pushed as a workhorse he gets injured or his play starts to suffer or both. Demko is an incredible asset to this team and very well could end up in the Luongo/McLean echelon of goalies with this franchise. But there are very few goalies in the NHL now who can be a Luongo/Brodeur/Lundqvist style workhorse starter. A Demko on pace for 65+ games or even 60+ games seems to not be a recipe for success. For long-term success it would likely be much better to give him a schedule in line for 50-55 games and have a solid backup that can play 30. I thought DeSmith would give us that, but the coaches decided not to do that for whatever reason. Edit: Ironically it looks like Demko now will be in the 50-55 game range. This might actually be a blessing in disguise to give him a little bit of rest and have him fresh for the playoffs.
