Poor guy 🙁 what could have been were it not for injuries. Time to LTIRetire and enjoy your physical mobility with the kiddos.
Sell assets high OR way till the car breaks down?
Allvin is playing 4D chess against a dumpster,
Hopefully Medvedev develops well 🙁
Wowwow
Dude is made of glass, its so unfortunate for him dang. Hope he has a good recovery

He’s done.
Sucks but this is his second go at hip surgery. Not sure how many times you can resurface those bad boys and still come out able to walk your kid to school. Just sucks to see how much effort and passion he put in ontop of the talent for it to be derailed outside of his control.
F for Demko
Injuries have done nothing but destroy this guy’s career lately.
I dunno guys this seems bad
So why did we re sign him a year early???

“Seravalli said a league executive told him he would trade Demko right now.
Seravalli said he almost fell off his chair when he heard that.
Executive didn’t know if Demko’s body is going hold up because of his hip issues and said « he’s going to be the next Cory Schneider ».”
Was tweeted in June of 2022
Crazy
Goodnight sweet prince.
Feel bad for Demko. Tough look from management for extending him
Everyone knew he had chronic lower body injury problems and he still managed to finesse $25 million American dollars from a « Management » team.
Salute to him and his agent!
I am convinced Demko would have won a couple Vezina’s if he played lots.
And maybe this is unpopular, but Demko would have got the Canucks past the Oilers that year.
Wait, I’ve heard this one before.
Nah… He can still play.

Well at least it’s not his knee but this doesn’t exactly make me hopeful he’ll return to form either. I hope he can make a full recovery, such a shame for so much talent to go out to injuries.
No surprise, whatsoever.
Called all of this back during the summer when Rutherford and Allvin foolishly decided to keep Demko and give him an extension instead of trading him and promoting Silovs to be the Canucks number one goaltender in tandem with Lankinen.
Got repeatedly criticized and downvoted for it by the usual dim-witted Canucks crowd.
Watch and learn.
Next.
time for him to retire. for his family/enjoyment of the rest of his life. Sami Salo 2.0 with all the injuries.
Thatcher Demko more like Injured Demko cause damn
who could have seen this coming
Should’ve kept Silovs.
Re-signing him in July of 2025, basically a year before they had to, was at the time a monumentally stupid thing to do.
Do we get cap space from LTIR for this? If so, we could take on a bad contract or two, correct?
Ah, what a magical season it’s been.
Full-tank sequence initiated, Tank Commander Footer. All systems are a go and LIVE. Boeser-Buium out, killswitch engaged. Turbo time.
Allvin was like We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster
Thats not what a rebuild means Patrick…
All the promise he had is now gone with injury after injury after injury!
Though I’m sure he’s happy to be getting paid no matter what.
Well done Canucks!
Happy retirement Thatcher 😢
$75MM for Boeser and Demko.
This happened 6 months ago.
The.actual.fuck.
