Pure961089 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 No Demko, Blueger, Joshua or McWard. Thankfully they have Aman, Di Giuseppe and Blais, some depth on the bottom 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Tocchet was gushing over Alriksson, he loves the kid. He remarked on all of his development. Also he wants to see Lekke play with really talented players, maybe he gives him a chance with Petey. If they hit it off and Lekke comes out of the gate like Kuzmenko did in his rookie year, you never know. All he needs is a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allvin not addressing it and Demko wanting to do it for media seems like worst case scenario stuff. They did say he was there and “working hard”, so that is some hope.

Popular Post Provost Posted September 19 Popular Post Share Posted September 19 It isn’t the worst thing to have some non-core veterans out for some time early in training camp and pre-season. it gives a chance to look at some kids. it will be interesting to see who gets mixed and matched with the set duos. A “veteran” roster with (current) injuries Debrusk-Petterson-Sprong Heinen-Miller-Boeser Blais-Raty-Garland Sherwood-Suter-Hoglander ”Give kids a look” lines… Debrusk-Petterson-Lekkerimaki Alrikkson-Miller-Boeser Blais-Sasson-Garland Sherwood-Suter-Karlsson I don’t see much playing around with defence duos as we need them to be set pretty fast. Pairings of minor league guys will likely be together as fillers rather than playing alongside a veteran. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Taking my educated guess on the Demko injury since it's been so quite around him. I'm going to predict he has a Popliteus strain or tendonopthpy. I've only ever treated it once before, and it was in a curler, but my gut leads me to making this guess based off the limited information we have been given. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 It's crazy how all these injuries came out of left field..completely blindsided ..Just the luck of being a Nucks fans. I hope Demmer is OK, Seems the closer we get somehow we are cursed and have to take 10 steps back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consideirng he says it's a muscle injury, does it sound consistent with a Popliteus muscle issue to you? Would that be as rare as he says his issue is?

But the way they are talking about it, being possible the first hockey player to have this injury, seems like that might be a step too far. That being said, I've worked in sports rehab my entire career, and only seen it once. So I guess it's possible? I don't have any better guesses at this point. Man.. I wish I know. I'm a injury nerd, would love to have more information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a injury nerd, would love to have more information. Well I found a recent article on popliteus injuries in athletes that reviewed the existing literature and concluded that it's a very rare injury for an athlete to sustain in isolation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8894959/. They provide a table showing which types of athletes the injury occurred in most often and the majority were soccer or American football players. There wasn't a single instance of a hockey player. You may just be onto something here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked a very fortunate career, and did have the opportunity to work with some sports teams. Unfortunately there is no money is 95% of sports team gigs, and the professional teams jobs are near impossible to obtain. You can only work so long on free tickets to hockey/rugby games and thank yous. I've long since moved on from that dream. Now I teach the futures generations, maybe one of them can pick up where I left off and get that Canucks job I always dreamed of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may just be onto something here. It's more common in those sports due to the action of the muscle. It's primary job is to help lock and unlock the knee. When you fully straighten your leg, your knee kinda clicks into place. Meaning you can have you leg fully extended and most of the big muscles don't need to do a lot of work. Hockey players do not spend very much time with their legs full extended, but when you're kicking you often fully extend. I'm still going with this as my guess, cause I don't have anything better. 2 hours ago, JeremyCuddles said: How many mommy kisses to fix an ouchie of that magnitude? We kinda need him. I think he's past mommy kisses. Sounds like they tried to baby it over the summer and hit a roadblock. This actually might be a dad's job and tell Demko to walk it off.
