That's a really rough go. Welcome to the NHL kid, here's a ton of two on ones and shots from the slot against the San Jose Sharks! Hope he shakes it off.

Unless you consider Rick his Spirit Animal, which he clearly is.

He may never make it to the NHL and to be honest, I don’t think he’s the greatest of goalie prospects. But he’s a 19 year old kid playing a position that takes the longest to develop. He clearly wasn’t ready for a start in the NHL, and Vancouver was absolutely terrible defensively as well. It was the perfect storm. I wouldn’t use a game like that to judge any teenager, especially a goalie.

Demko and DiPi gonna be a solid 1 2?

Demko is one of the better goalie prospects around and DiPi has made a solid case for himself as an NHL goalie at some level in the future, the Canucks just played like trash tonight, he looked okay in glimpses

More great news for Ottawa hockey teams! I am sure his confidence will just be beaming when he comes back to Jr.

Welcome to the NHL. This would have to be a wake up call for him to really improve his game. He's a good goalie and can have a bright future in the NHL. This is definitely a learning experience for him.

Canucks not doing him any favours
Seriously. What is their goaltending situation that they have to start a teenager at this time? He's a good prospect and all but it should have taken a pretty dire situation in order for him to actually start an NHL game right now. :dunno:

No one could have seen this coming.
