It would indicate it’s more than just a minor injury too. Yeah, but he didn't say he was going to be shut down either, more the opposite. If it's nagging, maybe they give him a week or two off and he gets a few games at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podz may in fact have to take over for Joshua, if he's pricing himself out of the market for us as a UFA. I like DJ but he's overrated around here. And cap space is king around here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northern lights Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Thatcher might be wanting to play a bit earlier with Hellebuck not doing so well. Don't get many chances to win a Vezina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 demko being on LTIR make it seems like the injury is more serious than it thought?? wasn't the original timeline 2-3 weeks?? that'll put him out minimum 4 weeks and i haven't even heard he began skating yet.. so prolly add another week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having all but clinched a spot, the team should focus on getting everyone as healthy as possible heading in to the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player can practice while on LTIR. So he could be practicing as soon as next week in theory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how Demko goes on LTIR the same day DJ81 is in a full-contact practice jersey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes it sound worse than it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I'm not worried as of yet as I think they're trying to give Demko a little more rest, and with DeSmith playing like he is they probably feel that way is well.

BCNate Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I'm hoping Demko gets 3 games in before the start of the playoffs. That way he is rested, but not rusty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I think the timing of all this has been pretty well in our favour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
