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

[Zanon]

The hockey gods are giving us a sign: Put the unknown Latvian in net.

Latvian goalies in the Playoffs do magical things.

Silovs doesn’t sniff the crease unless DeSmith gets hurt or sieves hard

 

[nucks88]

we'll be fine against the Preds. really worried about the next series tho

Yeah the Kings really have their number this season…..

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Sounds like Demko was rushed back from his injury. Would have been better off to stay out for Game 1 and join the team later in the series. It’s not like Nashville is some offensive juggernaut.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

You’re f***ed now with DeSieve in net…

 

[Coffey]

Georgiev you can’t seriously argue with

I don’t agree with any other ones though

Haha ya exactly. That dude is delusional.

hockey gods hate vancouver. cant always have nice things going for them. but desmith is capable of stopping the pucks.

He played the last two games of the regular season too.

 

[Raistlin]

while he may not be the be all and end all for Canucks, he is crucial to get out of the tough west. Other than McDavid and McKinnon, he is the third right in front of Hughes in terms of importance to the team.

He really wasn't. He was practicing before he was even taken off LTIR on April 6th and they still gave him an extra 10 days after that before they played him against Calgary. Maybe they should have given him the game off against Winnipeg.

 

[VanCanucks53]

Got injured with 40 seconds left in the game. Canuck luck.

[lawrence]

Didn't he just come back from an injury absence?

nah bro. He was sitting out like Mark Stone. Not injured at all

 

[North Cole]

The reverse Vegas?

 

[Another Empty Netter]

who’s the underdog now Nashville ??

 

[syz]

Did he re-aggravate whatever he was out with previously, or is it something new?

(Probably answered already, sorry, only skimmed the thread a bit.)

Same knee, different issue with it

 

[red devil]

 

[McFlyingV]

Looks like an MCL sprain. Players can play through that, but goalies can't.

 

[DRW895]

Sad and unfair

 

[Mighty Makar]

Brutal news for Van.

irbe’s revenge

 

[archangel2]

this could be fun

 

[Connor McConnor]

DeSmith is a good backup and they are still a better team than the Preds.

 

[Satire]

Tough loss for Vancouver. Wouldn't wish an injury in anyone honestly. The playoffs are better when all players are healthy (yes, even you Mark Stone).

Yup that didn't look good at all. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm just assuming he's out for the duration.
