Ossi Vaananen Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Ah, you just beat me. He's been a monster down there lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I hope he gets a game or two. 55 shot shutout in his debut! (Fingers crossed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 For the experience? Is Bachman back in Utica already? I'm concerned for Utica's game tomorrow without Demko and Bachman if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Fingers crossed) I agree let the kid play. I always think adjusting as a goalie from the AHL to NHL shouldn't be that different. Doesn't have to worry about size, speed, and physicality of the NHL game like forwards or defensemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Leave it to HFBoards to bitch about something this banal. Although it would be cool, I doubt he plays. If Bachman was healthy, he'd still be in Utica. Nice to see him up for a couple of games, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knucklehead85 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Comets have called up JP Anderson, they now have 2 ECHL goalies. #Canucks just copied and paste from twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Don't expect Demko to get any action up here so why not leave him down in Utica lighting it up like he has recently instead of having him warm the bench up here? Garteig should have gotten the call IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to worry about size, speed, and physicality of the NHL game like forwards or defensemen. I think speed and skill of players is to a much higher degree as well as the quality of shots from elite-level snipers. Passing could be much crisper as well, making lateral movement and the ability to follow the puck really crucial. That said, goaltenders who dominate in the AHL can often translate to at least some degree of NHL success and Demko has been dominant lately in Utica.

Chronic.Canuck Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Miller must be worse off than I thought... Do we have any back to back's coming up where Demko might get a chance to play? He definitely deserves it with his 7-1-0 record lately, kid's been tearing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed of shots and speed of play will be an adjustment, but he's our Carey Price and won't have any problems! (What Homer glasses? Pipe down...)

Green Building Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hmm. If Miller is out for a game or 2 he'll probably just back up Marky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
