Nuxfanabroad Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Wonder if they give Bachman a shot, next yr?(el-cheapo tandem) Demko & Garteig on the farm. Maybe sign/draft 1 or 2 more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCanuck Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think Markstrom and Bachman next year would be fine. Markstrom needs a shot at number one and I think he may be the type of guy that needs to play a lot to succeed. Time to cut ties with vets and get younger. Even if we lose more games. Plus one more year at the bottom of the league would be good for us, next year is looking like a very good draft! Plus with Bachman up he can try to prove he's an NHL backup and Demko gets to be number one down in Utica. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I hope that Demko has 2 good seasons as a starter for Utica before easing him in to the NHL very slowly. The only way he should be on the Canucks over the next 2-3 years is to either call him up for a day and let him have an NHL paycheck or if somehow all of our goalies get injured. I really want to bring him up slowly. Demko is a smart guy, he knows that staying in the minors for a while will only benefit him. This recent run has been great news. It looks like he's just about if not already proven himself as a starter for next season. Like I said, I want him to string together a couple of good seasons as a starter with consistency being the main focus. Overall, he might be one of the prospects I'm least worried about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Ben Birnell @OD_Birnell 15h15 hours ago More Thatcher Demko is 7-0-0/1.00 GAA/0.965 SV%/2 shutouts in last seven starts. He's stopped 191 of the last 198 shots he's faced. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what shocked me and I seen it mentioned on cdc yet is his puck handling. He handles the puck alot. And he's damn good at it. Not like smith/Brodour alot but miles better than Luongo/Schneider Good observation, I never really focused on this but since you posted this I realize how right you are. Makes it so much easier for D to break out if the goalie can pass the puck well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 question is. when Markstrom returns. do they ride the hot hand in Demko or does it go back to Bachman? and if they do switch and Bachman fails to get them in what does that do for the teams confidence.

They have to ride Demko, no way they can't with the way he's playing and how tight the standings are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 4 sets of three games in a row to finish out the season. At this point you gotta think Demko will get the first and third games while Bachman will get the 2nd game. He definitely gives them a better chance to win than Garteig right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. could see we Markstrom sidelined for the remainder of the season though? I have been crazier things. is his injury day to day or week to week.

BaerBoBoeser Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 As a comparison as there are many similarities in their path's to the NHL and previous success in US College and the WJC Cory Schnieder who we all loved first season in the AHL 36 gp 21 W (3 SO) 12 L2 2 T (yes they had ties back then!) 2.28 GAA 0.916 sv % Thatcher Demko thus far 33 GP (2 SO) 16 W 11 L 1 SOL 2.57 GAA 0.909 sv% If Thatcher pushes us into the playoffs his numbers will look very close to one hell of a goalie in his first year, and Thatcher had a tough patch in there mid year I believe. I always look at save % and the quality of the team. Those matter most to me when evaluating goalies. GAA is more a team stat and even save % to a certain degree but clearly goalies have better control there. However, if you're on a weaker team, other teams will get more and better looks leading to more goals. Regardless, he seems to be having a solid start to his pro career. Let's hope they make the post season to get some more experience, then see him take the next step next year! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been crazier things. is his injury day to day or week to week. He's back skating but they're still testing him to make sure he's ready. We'll see him before too long I think. But for Demko, he'll split games with Bachman once he's back. Bachman hasn't played as much so they'll ease him in but he did get back to playing a fair bit after Demko put up gaudy numbers while he was out injured earlier in the year. It may be more Demko by this point, but I still expect they'll use Bachman a fair bit if he plays well when he gets in and then look at moving to more starts for one come playoffs.

EagleShield Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 In his AHL starts in 2017 he's 10-3-1 with 2 SOs and a SV% of 0.930 If he can replicate and improve on that next year for Utica, he'll be ready to move up to the big club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
