-AJ- Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Rougher couple games from Demko lately. .839 in Minnesota and .833 tonight in Calgary. Halak's injury requiring Demko to play might've factored into it. Exhaustion could be coming into play with his heavy workload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I hope Demko's injury is not serious. The season ending conference where he basically said they are still trying to figure out whether his injury can be heal on its own or needs surgery is a bit concerning. This team needs a healthy Demko to be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 You could tell Demko wasn't himself near the end of the season. I hope Martin or whichever backup we get can reduce his load for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so lucky to have a top 10 goalie and Demko is only 26 years old..So many good years left and only 5 million X 4 years.. Imagine Oilers with Demko or how good Demko would look on a team like Colorado.. With Colorado he would have stats 2.20 GAA - SA% 922 win them a cup.. Oiler must go get a top 20 goalie..They will have to give up a good asset.. Husso or Billington,(Blues) Ducks - Gibson 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husso or Billington,(Blues) Ducks - Gibson 28 Heard the Canucks' goalie coach saying he wants to see Demko play around 57 games during next season. So our backup will be playing 25. Can't have it where Demko is supposed to get the night off and the backup does a "Halak" and gets yanked forcing Demko to come in. Plus, we need to have a good start to the year so we aren't forced to play Demko too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, we need to have a good start to the year so we aren't forced to play Demko too much. It depends on the schedule, but I think he should get every back-to-back off (only play 1 of the 2), There are approximately 12-13 games a month, so he should play 8 or 9 out of the 12/13 games a month. However, I think he will probably start out heavier (to get into form), and then get more rest nearing the end of the season so he can be fresher for the playoffs.

That's the one consistant positive thing (whether the goalie be a drafted prospect or a UFA) going thru multiple GM's now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's amazing that Brian Burke's one weakness was his inability to get us a starting goalie. Cloutier was close but he seemed to always fall apart in the post-season. The single Cup win Burke has on his resume (as a GM).........the previous GM got that legit starting goalie. Nonis not only acquired Luongo via trade but was also the GM that drafted Schneider.

4petesake Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I love their dog! TD’s reaction time is dialled down in the off-season, can’t even catch a gentle lob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Demko finished 7th in Vezina voting this year. Pretty excited for this guy to get better and better. He can become good enough to be a finalist someday soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably top 5, but would have looked and felt a bit different had he played behind a better, more structured team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
