And that attention is correctly focused on the lack of pushback by the team, not the concussion itself (as you pointed out).

If management is not willing to point this out then it’s up to the fans to do it. Hopefully our message gets to the locker room.

Fans have expectations and I don’t think we are being unreasonable or dramatic.

I expect you and Booner to throw down and beat each other senseless. Now that you know my expectation will you make that happen?

John Weisbrod is working on that.

In the AHL. Put the boner away.

Gotta start somewhere

I'm all for pointing out this mgmt's ineptitude but I have a really hard time believing they are ignoring doctors advice or they have doctors okaying putting concussed players on flights.

It would be a bankrupt team if they stop listening to Doctors.

Is EP concussed?

I think every time your brain slams into the side of your skull it’s a concussion of the brain.

He couldn’t stand up after the play and that would suggest a brain concussion and not a problem with his ear equilibrium.

But I’m not a doctor, only play one on the internet.

if booner and bloats keep talking about fighting and throwing down, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect a fight when they see each other.

This is a couple days old, and I know that Botchford just did a Athletic Vancouver Article about the whole thing this morning, so he must not be the original author.

Gladly! Lol. But Booner has mellowed much in his old age.

But my reputation hasn’t recovered since the last time we went at it. Some people on here still won’t talk to me. Lol.

its hard to know the truth. Media can spin it however they want to spin it. I don't think its a "nothing" story though. I guess we will wait and see when demko is able to play again.

No need for doctors appointment. Get the wife to give you rim job . Ask her while her tongue is up there if she notices any difference in the size ?

I just watched the post game Green interview, he looked pissed, but he's a smart enough guy not to say "I'm disapointed none of our guys beat the crap out of Mathy". I'm also laughing about how the term push back is being thrown around. Like scoring late and hanging on for the regulation win isn't push back... that was supposed to be an easy 2 points for a Panthers team that thinks they will be in the playoffs. If they just miss, we can remind them of this loss all off season

Thanks. I had never heard it. (I don't think I disputed it either). I would think that talking to team doctors if there was reasonable concern from Demko that they might have not sent him. We won't ever really know what was said.

He went from pee wee straight to the NCAA

Please god no! Much rather this than line predictions. That was a dark time for me.

And here is the other part you neglected to include.
#narratives

Demko had made big improvements in his recovery and the next step from the Canucks perspective was ice time.

They believed Utica was the best place for him to start practicing again.

The Canucks deny anyone from Demko’s side suggested he could benefit if he stayed in Vancouver for a few days.

Did he ask to stay?

“No but we talked to him,” Benning said. “We needed to get him up and playing.”

its hard to know the truth. Media can spin it however they want to spin it. I don't think its a "nothing" story though. I guess we will wait and see when demko is able to play again.

I would bet if there was more to it there would be a lot more said about it.
