Pears Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 So is this the part where we fire our coach and ride Demko to the cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrible.dee Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I don't buy the idea he's being called up to warm the bench, When has this regime ever done anything except for what they think will make the playoffs, developments be damned he's being called up to play, the way management looks at it, he is our #3 on the de[th chart and 1a is down, we have back to backs this weekend so that means a split. They may have another motive in hoping he has a great first NHL game as it is highly likely he is being discussed as part of some possible trades, but the Canucks don't like how he's being valued, one good NHL start and the hype machine is off and running, if it's a bad start, then it's not like the offers could get any worse.

Beary Sweet Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Demko has been really solid for the Comets. Kind of surprised that he got called up. I wanted him to spend this year down in Utica and keep his rhythm going. He has NHL calibre goaltending for sure though. I have a feeling that he will do just fine though on Sunday or whenever he is called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh It may even have something to do with we have a 168lb netminder who's 36 years old playing in the NHL. Yes, he's going to get injured eventually, I find it hilarious people are surprised by it in any way shape or form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh Canucks Now @CanucksNow 11h11 hours ago As per @NEWS1130Sports, the #Canucks have called up Thatcher Demko due to Ryan Miller's lower-body tightness. Canucks have called up Thatcher Demko due to Ryan Millers lower body tightness? I always figured it was Millers wife that had more lower body tightness.

I think Miller needs to spend some time alone over the weekend to get rid of that tightness in his lower body... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has got to be the most ridiculous ruling ever... a back dated penalty for working within the rules. And yet losing on purpose is considered 'smart' management....

ice orca Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 5 hours ago, apollo said: So what's happening with Miller? As soon as he starts to dominate, he gets injured?... Sigh Just like last year, the guy is getting pretty old. Miller is not the biggest of guys and i think he got too many games in a row and got dehydrated and stiffened up leading to injury.

Looks like we have two ECHL goalies in the AHL. At least Garteig will get in some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. He's just getting a taste of real NHL atmosphere. I think it's a good motivational move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Luongo's agent should have asked for the length of term to be cut as it was stupid to go that far in advance. I guess Luongo isn't complaining now that his contract "sucks".
