  1. Reading the Irfaan Gaffar is reporting that Demko suffered a setback and tweaked something at practice on Thursday. I don't have twitter to copy post but saw posted on Reddit.

     

    Anyone read/hear of confirmation on this?

    I disagree man, as a goalie myself you want to be put in these positions.

    You need to know what the next level is like. 
    you need to know what level you are at compared to where you want to be. 

    This is a good team vs a bad team and whoever is in net will not change that. 

    he will learn so much from this game and be a better goalie for it in the long run. 

    As a goalie myself, playing with the tire fire defense the Canucks have in front of you can destroy your confidence, feels like every shot goes in.  This isn't the line up to get those learning minutes with.  If this was at least a half decent defensively sound line up I'd agree but it isn't.

    Demko has a GAA of 3.93 and a SV% of .885 this year.  He also hasn't played in 3 months.  The only heater he is getting close to is the heat pack they are going to put on his groin after each game...

    You don't know goalies if you thought he was healthy to start the season. His movement wasn't smooth, laterally it was obvious he was either scared to push or was hindered, turns out he was hindered.  Demko is a top end goalie when healthy, when he comes back he's going to steal games like he did last year.

    Remember back when Martin got us points in like 9 straight games and people were speculating that we might not even need Demko? And then a bunch of other people pointed out how terrible Martin's underlying numbers were and we were only getting points because we were unsustainably out-scoring our problems? Those people were right!

    Yep, I was one of those people calling out the lunatics. Demko obviously wasn't moving right before he went on IL, Martin is a decent goalie on a terrible team. Hopefully the AHL rebuilds his confidence because giving up 5 a night can't feel good.
