Scorevat Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 WOW im impressed, not making a comparison but thatcher has quick-like athleticism in the crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 First time I've really had a chance to get a look at Demko, this kid is awesome! He's the only reason that its only 2 - 0 Canada right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearloch7 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Another top prospect to get 'excited' about .. he moves very well for a kid his size and stays square to the puck .. he will only get stronger and quicker one would hope. Reminds me of a young Schneider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 So, does he still need hip surgery at the end of the season??? Not seeing any holes in his game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_Burgundy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Holy shit. Demko looks absolutely phenomenal in net this game. If it weren't for him, Canada could easily be up 4-1 or 5-1. He couldn't do too much about the first goal (bang-bang play in tight; still almost managed to get it with his blocker). The second goal was also near-impossible to save: a very well placed one-timer with DeAngelo screening the puck's path. I'm really impressed with his grand and quick vision of the play. He seems very alert and active, constantly moving his head on a swivel when the puck's moving around. Demko almost looks "Miller-like" in that he's like an artist in net whose present to all of the minute details that are going about in front of him. Combined with what seems like an exceptional athleticism, Thatcher has been able to make some incredible reactionary saves. All this and the kid's only just turned 19. I'm extremely excited about his future. I may be jumping the gun in saying this, but it looks like #30 is shaping up to be a superstar goalie with potential to be even better than the player he's often compared to, Corey Schneider. In my opinion, the selection of Demko in the second round was our best draft pick decision over the past few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2SKATES1STICK Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) nothing he could do on any of these goals. stellar play. total stud. Edited December 31, 2014 by 2SKATES1STICK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 nothing he could do on any of these goals. stellar play. total stud. This is actually the best case scenario for me. Canada wins and Demko plays well. All the goals that Canada scored were pretty unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yea he'll still need it. From what I understand, reading in past about other goalies that have had the same surgery, they have better flexibility and mobility after they have recovered. Really impressed by what we're seeing of him in this game, facing a really high powered, Canadian attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'd say he was better than Comrie. It must suck to lose by an empty net goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Player of the game for the US. He reminded me of Grumpy Cat when he collected his award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Demko has looked awesome so far. USA player of the game against Canada and well deserved. Had to interfere with him on the 3rd goal to get it past and no chance for him on the rest. Exciting to see the future looking so bright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
