Maybe I’m reading too much into it but with the Coyotes game being last scheduled skate jersey game can we assume he’s gonna be backing up at least? Why practice in pads that are less broken in if you’re not gonna wear them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well gotta start breaking them in at some point. It was just tongue in cheek. But…….oh I would love to see the Skate in playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why practice in pads that are less broken in if you’re not gonna wear them? He's worn them a fair bit this year, so your probably overthinking it. Tocchet noted Silovs may start the Arizona game, and they wouldn't send DeSmith down at this point just to let Demko back up. They have Demko on a progression of practices to get him ready to be back without rushing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckMan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Demko better be back for the Oilers game on Saturday. Might be one of the most important games of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arrogant Worms Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Tocchet says Canucks still taking Thatcher Demko's knee injury 'day-by-day' https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/tocchet-says-canucks-still-taking-thatcher-demkos-knee-injury-day-by-day/ VANCOUVER — Vancouver Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko says he "feels fine" as he works his way back from a knee injury. Getting back onto the ice has taken a whole team of coaching, medical and training staff, Demko told reporters after practice on Thursday. “I appreciate the staff that’s been around me kind of matching my focus level and my determination to get back," he said. "Obviously it takes a village." But when, exactly, Demko will see game action remains unclear. The 28-year-old netminder said he's long been targeting next Tuesday's home game against the Calgary Flames for a return, but head coach Rick Tocchet said Thursday that Demko is "ahead of schedule." Asked whether Demko could be in net Saturday when the Canucks (48-22-9) take on the Oilers in Edmonton, Tocchet said the team is taking the situation is "day-by-day." “At this point, I honestly don’t know," the coach said.

-Buzzsaw- Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Would be REALLY STUPID to rush Demko back into action and risk his knee for a non-playoff game. I don't care how important this game is, it is not a playoff game... the Canucks are in the playoffs no matter what. And to bring back Demko early and risk a very fragile knee would be incredibly dumb. Let him heal completely and have him fresh and ready to steal games when the playoffs start.

If he says he's as good as he'll get, wouldn't you value a bit of runway to warm up? You don't want a cold goalie facing playoff pressure.

elvis15 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Silovs still up, likely to take some reps from Demko at practice, but we'll see if there are any updates after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Silovs will be sent down with Demko back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Tocchet has hinted at leaving one player back for the Winnipeg game. Looks like it's Boeser, which makes sense considering he's taken a few maintenance days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Just rest for the players scratched, no specific injuries to worry about. The extras get in for a game in their place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
