We already knew that it wasn’t a secret. Boeser has been injured for awhile and has been receiving treatment for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Everyone takes some bumps and bruises by this point in the season. Boeser has had some maintenance days so we know he is dealing with something fairly minor or can't be helped with a bit of rest. Feel free to let us know when you have something specific though.

elvis15 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Hopefully nothing in this and just a precaution as Abby doesn't have a game. Demko is on the ice for the optional skate. DeSmith is there too, along with Silovs. Edited April 21 by elvis15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if they would try and carry three goalies all the way through. They'll surely ride Demko so why handcuff Abby like that when their playoffs start Wednesday? If Abby doesn't go far then Vancouver can call up Silovs right after without the emergency recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have him as EBUG when Abby isn’t playing and the Canucks are at home. Tolopilo has established himself as a starter so he’ll get some games too.

Definitely just something they did as a precaution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how deep Abby is going this year, they’re in tough against Colorado with all the games being played away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownky Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Maybe a sore groin from that first period save after so long of "not playing"? I know how that feels. Took me like 2 weeks to feel better. But he's a better goalie and in actual fit shape, so if that's it, he'll be fine. They can with with Silovs / DeSmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I hope Demko is able to return .... My biggest concern is his injuries are starting to add up ... Im concerned about his long term health and ability to keep playing 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I wonder if it's something to do with really accelerating and rushing his rehab. Obviously he had to do it to make it ready for game 1 but to get injured after 3 games is a sign that he clearly wasn't ready. Not an easy situation.

hockeyville88 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Demko’s injury history has got to be a major concern for the Canucks beyond just this season. He has not been very durable the last couple of years, and it’s one of those things where you almost hope this does not become a factor in having to retire early 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Tweets and reports, of injuries that start with: Rick Tochett says Canucks say Kate Petterson says and so on.... make me sad- can't believe a word of it. They have been so wrong before, and are so sparse with info-even before the play offs--- no point in believing an f'in thing they say about injuries. Other than the guy won't play tonight- and even then I'm sceptical; after a player went from week to week, to playing the next night.

-Buzzsaw- Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Tocchet overplayed Demko throughout the season. Despite his history of being fragile and injury prone... from the previous year when he was overplayed and got injured... So they ignore his history, play him like he has no previous history... and he gets injured.... but luckily comes back... just in time for the last two games of the season... on one of which is important. So he wins the needed game... and it was suggested he sit out for the relatively meaningless Jets game... but no, Tocchet plays him. They sit out Miller, they sit out Boeser, etc... but sit out Demko, just back from a serious injury.... no. So one game into the playoffs he is injured again... supposedly not related to the previous injury. But since no team will ever be specific about injuries during the playoffs... do you really believe them??? Track record for handling of Demko is not good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
