2/3 of our thirst line missing training camp early
This doesn’t sound good for Demko. I hope it’s not bad.
Curious about the Demko situation.
>Demko will address his injury Thursday.
That’s ominous
“Demko will address his injury Thursday” …fucking terrified
This Demko injury shit is getting old *sigh*
I’m real tired of the Demko injury arc. Stop it NHL writers, STAHP! 😭
Might be time to move on from Demko if this is some long term issue.
Anyone else feeling a little doom and gloom? Seems like we’ve been lucky with injuries these past couple of seasons and that’s about to change this year.
Demko probably missing 1-2 months to start the year. Hopefully the boys start like last year and they don’t feel the need to rush Demmer back.
I cannot believe I’m saying this, but this doesn’t worry me at all. We got more prospects in the AHL that can take their place.
Does this mean Silovs will be ready?
We sure monkey clawed that last season.
Demko on Thursday: “I’m injured. that’s all, conference adjourned”
Jeez. Injuries happening before we have started wishing camp.
In my opinion it’s likely a good idea to consider trading demko once he’s healthy again.
Too injury prone.
Not sure how to take the Demko will address his injury Thursday. If it was long term why even bother having him talk about it? Then again if it’s short term why not have Patrick address it.
Silovs, you are the starter now
Demko thing doesn’t sound ominous at all, I’m not even worried.
I’m going to go scream into a pillow about….. something……else. Unrelated. ^fuck
Just sell the fucking team already.
Allvin mentioned “privacy” as a reason for not discussing Demko today so I wonder if we’ll finally get confirmation of an offseason procedure that Demko wants to disclose himself

Blueger NOOOOOOO
Something tells me Demko will be seeing a tandem in his future, whether he (or we) likes it or not.
Is Demko going to retire? Why wouldn’t mgt just say what’s going on today? Weird way to announce things
Imagine if we just didn’t react to Demko speculation and waited until there was an announcement giving clarity to the situation?…
It’s hard not to feel trepidation towards this situation but ultimately worrying about something we know almost nothing about is as useful as sitting on your thumb and spinning.
So this pretty much guarantees LTIR?
I really hope Demko’s injury situation isn’t going to turn out like Pearson’s… I had that thought for the first time today.
> Demko will address his injury Thursday
Fuck man when we were talking about Demko being ready for the 3rd round I thought it was the 2024 playoffs not the 2025 ones.
Why do they lie to us?
If Demko is out long term, just move onto Silovs. And for crying out loud do not trade both of them like we did with Luongo/Schneider.
I’m actually terrified for demko’s health now
Well, there’s only a few things to be done here in Canuckland. And that’s to remain positive and hopeful and hoping the team only commits to playing until they’re actually healthy and well rather than play with issues, even if they may not appear immediately problematic.
