Demko injured and potentially out for rest of series UPDATE: Demko is done?

[End on a Hinote]

F***.

 

[Warden of the North]

That sucks.

Sorry Canucks fans.

 

[Canucks LB]

That sucks.

Sorry Canucks fans.

This is absolutely f***ed

 

[Folignos Helmet]

What’s with players being injured mysteriously. He played full game. No issue then out.

Nylander. Full season. Full last game. Then out.

Weird stuff.
Is this a 3 body problem?

 

[Romang67]

Might be time to crack each others skulls open & feast on the goo inside.

(Think we can still beat NSH but that'll be it without Demko)

Yes, I would say so, Sergei.

 

[Divine]

What’s up with these phantom injuries this year?

Nylander mysteriously out, now Demko.

I don’t think the Canucks need Demko against the Predators so if they can get him back by round 2 it shouldn’t impact too much. Probably an advantage to extend the series because it doesn’t look like the Oilers-Kings is going more than 5 right now.

 

[VanillaCoke]

That's game

Phantom injuries all the time. Regular season or playoffs. It's a very fast physical game and sometimes things that look innocent just catch guys in the sweet spot and cause an injury.

Just wait til teams start getting knocked out and they sometimes announce all the shit guys were playing through.

DeSmith has played 1 game in the playoffs in 2022:
.941% stopped 48 of 51 shots.

I wish we had Desmith

Usually it happens in-game.

Both Nylander and Demko played their last game and then all of a sudden on game day they’re out for multiple games. Seems strange.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Why are we not allowed nice things?

 

[Grigowski]

Good lord.....That sucks major for the Canucks. Damn....

 

[Zanon]

depression setting in

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

he's injured every year FFS...Nucks need to invest in a 1B

shouldn't be a problem for the popgun offense of the Preds though

 

[Duodenum]

Haha yea, this is Canuck luck. Hopefully the team can pull through until he's back but it's a big loss.
Let's go Casey!!

 

[trellaine201]

I think Canucks will be fine for the Nashville series. Beyond that I am not sure.

Agreed, but beyond that they need Demko.

 

[DimitriL07]

What else, we can never have nice things. We gotta hold the fort I guess and hope Demmer recovers.

 

[red devil]

 

[joestevens29]

I always wonder about these injuries that say it's not the same injury.

If he didn't have the original injury would he have gotten hurt this time around?

Once you start compensating for one thing it often opens up potential injuries elsewhere.

 

[Summer Rose]

Ouch. That’s a tough thing to hear. I feel bad for Canucks fans. I also wish Thatcher Demko a speedy recovery.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

McJ is gonna break the single series record for playoff scoring against DeSmith, if VAN even makes it out alive.

DeSmith had his best games of the season against us

 

[T REX]

Brutal...Desmith any good?

 

[Kranix]

Further proof that Canucks are the most cursed team in NHL history.

 

[PavelBure10]

Not going to lie. This one hurts, hurts a lot. Demko is the most important player for the Canucks going into the playoffs. Somehow I'm not at all surprised, first time Canucks make the playoffs in 9 years and their starting goaltender gets hurt. Canucks luck no doubt about it. I still believe that the Canucks have a opportunity to squeek by the Preds, not sure if they're going much further without Demmer after that.
