I read that as well.
Sounds like Silovs (as the heir apparent) is most likely to be recalled.

Hopefully it's a short enough absence that Desmith can just play every game.

Obviously not complete.

Obviously Canucks want to face the Preds in first round.

Obviously the rest doesn’t matter.

Most likely recall, though Patrick Johnston said this yesterday, so not sure about the heir apparent...

With just one game this week, will the Canucks take the cautious approach and rest Demko on Wednesday, handing Casey DeSmith a start and bringing in Arturs Silovs to back up on an emergency basis?

If it were an opponent with less firepower than Colorado, you do wonder if Ian Clark would considered bringing up Nikita Tolopilo.

Tolopilo has passed Silovs in the organization’s long-term view; his first season in North America has been excellent, his growth has been impressive.

Silovs, on the other hand, has stalled out a little bit. His year in Abbotsford hasn’t been great.

But he does have the advantage of having played NHL games and shown he has the mental makeup to fill in a pinch, as he did last year.

In the long term, though, Tolopilo seems a more likely option.

Obviously you need to STFU.

Also Twitter is not a person

Whaat, Twitter isn’t a person, nooo don’t tell that.

In all seriousness there are legitimate individuals on twitter, but the vast majority are just fabricating bs to get guys like some here to overreact.

If a Friedman link is posted, then legit, if someone posts something like “sounds like Demko out for a while in other words long term not 2 games is not legit.

100.
I like how the he team has confidence in his ability to hold down the fort in then short term.

Good to see there is some Sunday hate overflow.

I missed out yesterday, you know floods and stuff.

Myers 7th dman now? I hope so.

You do realize a vast majority of the guys here do not follow twitter, so I kinda agree with neem a quote for substance would be nice.

I’ll try and do a better job of quoting the actual source of the information, or person who posted it on “X”… beyond that, you can both go (frank) your hats.


PS: when I’m on my phone it won’t let me copy and paste the person’s handle who posted the info but when I’m on a laptop or desktop I can, strange. Usually I’ll just manually type it in, in this case I was too busy with other things.

You have more excuses than Benning did.

It appears demko made a good choice to pull himself and not finish the game.

@BuckFoston_

Dhali says Demko will likely miss less than a month. Not a groin. Not hearing hip related.

3 weeks from now is only 8 games. Not terrible. Let him come back on the back-to-back against the Coyotes as his warm up for the last 7 games.

I can't remember if it was a fan suggestion, or from some blogger, but I heard a mention that if a player is LTIR for game 82 of the season they become ineligible for Playoffs as a solution for the next CBA.
