G Thatcher Demko (2014, 36th, VAN)

[Redline]

Give it time.
I'm not worried at all that Demko will work out the kinks and show what he's all about.

 

[beachcomber]

lmao give up on him, nearly every elite goalie has a bad start to the AHL, look at schneider.

One more bad game and he is done as an NHL prospect.

Might as well retire if he lets in another goal.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Well from what I watched and heard he won his last two games? I also saw a couple of big saves from him. I think Demko will be Schneider 2.0.

 

[lawrence]

bad news.

he's starting to pick things up.



During his last seven starts -#Canucks prospect Thatcher Demko is 6-1-0 with a 1.86 GAA and 0.935 SV%

 

[BigRangy]

at this rate he'll get called up and ruin the tank

Geeez and he was almost done as a NHL prospect!

 

[WTG]

He's up to a .911 save percentage from sub .900

Trending upwards for sure.

Good to hear. I've liked his game the most from what I've seen out of the big college goalies that have come through lately (i.e. Hellebuyck and Gillies). Really impressed me in the rookie camp this year as well despite playing behind a pretty poor Canucks rookie team.

As expected

 

[The Iron Goalie]

He had an adjustment period, which appears to be over.

 

[TeddyBare]

Pretty surprising numbers considering Vancuovers farm team is garbage.


Demko looks like a keeper.

 

[beachcomber]

Slight uptick but still on the road to bustville.

 

[M2Beezy]

Excellent news. He had a pretty rough start to the season and i even remarked that his next few games would be critical. And he responded very POSITIVE from what it looks like

 

[Peter Griffin]

This is exactly the same way Cory Schneider started his pro career.

 

[nowhereman]

Slight uptick but still on the road to bustville.

How can you be on the "road to bustville" when you've already pretty much busted??

Personally, I'd cut ties with him ASAP. Goalies typically peak in their teens/early-20s and then it's all downhill from there. Demko will be no different. Stick a fork in him; he's done.

 

[wonton15]

This is exactly the same way Cory Schneider started his pro career.

Demko is basically Schneider

can confirm, am Schneider

Vezina candidate let's go

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

This is exactly the same way Cory Schneider started his pro career.

Both Schneider and Demko played 3 years of college but Schneider's AHL rookie year was in his draft +4 year while Demko's AHL rookie year is his draft +3 year.

You could easily argue Demko is on track to be better. He probably won't but it is interesting to look at.

 

[DeltaSwede]

He does a really solid Mike Tyson impression. 02:01 onwards

 

[GetFocht]

Schnieder was awful in the first half of his AHL career and then became adjusted.

I'm more impressed with Demko because it only took him 6 games to adjust to the AHL and is a year younger than Schnieder when he turned pro.

Man Subban was ****ing awful at that **** lol

 

[DeltaSwede]

Man Subban was ****ing awful at that **** lol

Yea, I thought he was goofing around at first!

 

[izzy]

I think Subban was just trying to be funny like his brother

 

[gwh]

Still 0.911 for the season and 28th best goalie in AHL. There are 7 better rookie goalies in AHL this season.
