Demko sick?
Some more context from Kate Pettersen:
*Rick Tocchet confirms Casey DeSmith will get the start tonight, noting that the plan was always to have him play either tonight or in Philadelphia on Tuesday. His thought is might as well give Demko a little extra time to recover (battled a flu bug earlier this week).*
DeSmith is leading the league in save percentage and GAA. Got to go with the hot hand.
Damn I’m going tonight and i only brought my demko and horvat jerseys
Good to get both goalies in for action early in the season to shake off any rust.
McDavid is going to make another comment to the media about disrespect, using his boring, monotone voice, isn’t he?
​
I honestly just pray for that guy’s girlfriend. The fact she has not been admitted to an insane asylum after listening to his listless and dull voice for more than 5 minutes at a time is quite frankly one of the most remarkable things in the history of humankind.
It’s great to have a backup that doesn’t cause fear when they’re starting 🙂
Why not play Demko tonight and if you want to get DeSmith in, play him against the hot garbage Flyers? He hasn’t played since Wednesday and his next game is going to be Tuesday?
DeSmith outplayed Demko last game, easy decision for Tocchet. Look at the stats. /s
I’m a little nervous, we haven’t had a stable backup since Demko and Edmonton has a lot of firepower.
I guess tonight we’ll see if defence by committee actually works.
Smart move gives Demko more time to heal and we can start Demko on Tuesday vs a weaker team
It’s a tossup who the Oil put in net.
Guess it’s a tossup 🤢for us too tonight.
