Speculation: Doug MacLean: Demko not happy in Vancouver

[eviohh26]

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.

Who knows what happens with Demko in net. He was insane last year for us.
Still doesn't change the fact that the Oilers won by 1 goal in 7 games against Silovs who looks like he may never been a NHL regular.

Bad look, man. Edmonton won fair and square

I never said we would win. Simply stated who knows what would have happened.
If I was a Oilers fan I'd be laughing at the Canucks right now.

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.

Not going to back and fourth over it. Silovs was good and bad.
Go win your cup with your 4 1st over picks already.

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 .

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I’m gonna assume this was taken out of context. I’d bet he’s not happy cuz he can’t stay healthy. That’s not the Canucks fault.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

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?

...now you know...

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

 

[VanillaCoke]

doug mclean lol

 

[Breakers]

Bad look, man. Edmonton won fair and square

So did Florida

 

[HuGort]

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

 

[Canucks LB]

Doug McLean has as many sources as my dog

Awful mess in Vancouver

And still tied with the Habs……kinda telling eh?

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...

 

[qc14]

People should know better by now than to put stock in a rumor coming from literally anyone in the entire league not named Elliott Friedman but at the same time -- lol vancouver

 

[Jovavic]

f*** Doug MacLean

They'll trade Hughes before they let him go anywhere near Free Agency. Could happen as soon as next summer.

And if/when this happens, and I've seen Quinn say he wants to play with his brothers, it will happen sooner than later.....

Demko not happy in Vancouver as as true as Santa clause is real. Why do people take Doug Mcleans word as gospel? Demko literally just came back from injury. He literally said, he knows he will get to back to form, and suddenly Doug Mclean, whos since stuck with broadcasting work and not a real NHL job knows, Demko is not happy? throws in the we are looking for a top 4 dman?

He called New Jersey a dump.

 

[centipede2233]

The problem is Aquilini does not and will not do a rebuild. He always is trying to force his management team to compete. Bad ownership leads to bad team decisions, who knew

Nice try with that one....any NHL/NJ fan knows Quinn was joking saying that if NJ didn't take Luke #4 in that draft...

Vancouver is the dump right now if anything and I'll leave it at that. Not trying to start anything, but I've seen it all over social media.. if Quinn doesn't sign an extension soon, he's gone..the word is he wants to play with his two brothers.

NJ has far more to offer right now
