DeNiro Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 4 hours ago, N7Nucks said: 21, poopy stats, AHL depth if Demko can take a spot on the big boy roster. Goalies develop oddly, maybe he can find a more permanent spot in the AHL. Or even find his way to a NHL game or two. He had great numbers in the USHL. I'm guessing that's where the Canucks started watching him. He briefly was a teammate of Rathbone's. If he can get back on track with Clarke he may still become a serviceable AHL goalie.

I thought his lateral movement was off the charts - the problem was that there was too much of it as he is "too active" or at least was. Where did you see him and was he trying to stay more still on purpose? Not sure that is something Ian would have coached into him but I didn't see him at all last year so who knows.

At 5"6 and 180lbs Palmu won't be squeezing through cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Mentioned on 650 this morning that he's from CBJ's system, where our now ours again goalie coach Ian Clark was working FWIW. I'd not be surprised if he had input on this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they moved on from Michael Gartieg. Did they? that makes me sad. I liked Garts lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulbakov is unlikely to see much AHL action and he isn't likely to push Demko up the depth chart ahead of Markstrom and Nilsson.

GF 196 GA 295 The team went from a final 8 finisher to a bottom dweller. What else do we see here? ECHL 1. Branden Komm 1 2.04 .929 | 2. C.J. Motte 28 3.45 .910 | 3. Ivan Kulbakov 22 3.63 .902 | 4.

Jake Reed 0 - - | Based on the goalie stats, it's clear that the entire team got slammed with goals. Context is everything. My statement was in regards to his numbers. They're bad. Like really bad. But its obvious he plays better in big game scenarios with a better team in front of him. Still...those numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that he doesn't need to improve as a goalie or what not. I'm just saying that before you jump to conclusions based on his number, you need to consider why they are bad. All the goalies on his team posted bad numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
