Give it a break. As demonstrated this year, Demko does nothing for you coming off injury, but go ahead and keep the excuses going and pretending your team is the only one with injuries - it’s exactly why everyone is enjoying see it all crash and burn.
Not an excuse. Just pointing out that the Oilers could barley get past a goalie that doesn't belong in the NHL. That will always be funny to me.

Silovs played lights out and kept you in a number of games throughout that series. A few stinkers doesn’t change that.

And clearly a Demko that is not the same as before doesn’t either. Enjoy your season.
 
I think the Ian Clark situation would be included in this discussion if Demko really does want out. If another org was to find a way to have the Canucks and Clark agree to a contract termination, the acquiring team could make a play for Demko and be pretty confident that Demko would be able to turn his performance around.

I can see teams giving Demko a shot but no one is going to put all their eggs in 1 basket with him. He can't stay healthy .
 
Wow - it’s funny because it’s all cap dumps for the team you like and doesn’t actually benefit Vancouver at all.

You’re kidding! The same type of joke that’s in every single trade thread? How could I have ever known?
Difference being that this is spiralling so much for the Canucks (at least the online discourse) that the scadenfreude is getting bigger returns. It's a comment on the overall craptacular situation more than the typical Halak, Ryder, and a 2nd.
 
Doug Maclean is past retired man, I heard the show today. He's borderline incoherent, albeit I find him funny in small doses.

This is a total nothingburger. Demko is also a vault and says nothing to anyone, and would not use Doug to out his frustrations.

Totally a weird, throw gas on the tire fire type of move by Maclean

update:- Just re-listened to the podcast (link in previous page). He says that he heard a unsubstantiated rumor that Demko is not that excited to be in net right now.

Apparently to the OP of this thread, that translates to , "Demko not happy in Van" lol

He said it today on Sportsnet with kypreos. He's hearing that Demko isn't happy in Vancouver. Unfortunately his health is still an issue. Any Offers on Demko? Canucks could continue to run with Lankinen and Silovs as a 1A and 1B.

Canucks looking for a top 4 dman.
Awful mess in Vancouver
 
I'm not being facetious, but is there something to certain American players not wanting to play in Canada at this time? M. Tkachuk wanted out of Calgary... there are rumors his bother may be traded by the Sens to an American team (a lot of Rangers chatter)... and Miller and Demko in Vancouver? Probably nothing but...
