[Irfaan Gaffar] Sounds like Thatcher Demko suffered a setback and tweaked something in practice on Thursday. #Canucks won’t know full extent of injury for a few days.

1. Sad for Thatcher. But good news for Team Tank

2. take year off pls

3. *tank noises*

   I feel bad for Demko though, hope everything will be ok with him if this is true

4. Demko should just take the L and come back next season when he is 100%.

5. Demko in it for bedard

6. Does that mean Martin is coming back? Silovs should keep playing in the AHL to develop.

7. Ends the trade talk

8. So we running Delia and Silvos? 2 AHL goalies. That’s a bold strategy.

9. Few hours ago Tocchet said Demko was fine lol

10. At this point just shut him down for the season. No sense risking aggravating an injury in meaningless games that we want to lose.

11. I’m just iffy about believing this, especially after all these reports by the media just to have them be false such as demko not being happy and “recent” talks with Toronto about Myers.

    I just don’t believe it unless a guy like dhaliwal confirms it.

12. Yes tank yes tank

13. Canucks luck folks… or a sign that Bedard is ours oh my!!!!!!

14. We’re finishing 3rd.

    Team Tank Forever!

15. I remember something about us running demko into the ground last season…

16. Lots of comments about happy helping the tank.
    How about the guys health and long term effects. Not a good sign. See you next year man.

17. Sleeper Cell Tank Agent Demko has been activated

18. This is what annoys me the most. Season is done, I get that the player wants to play as much as possible, but in situations like these, why doesn’t the org take the sensible decision and shut down the player, let him come back next season stronger. He is an important piece for the future.

19. Honestly hoping they just shut him down. Tank aside, we’re absolutely screwed if Demko isn’t able to return to form, and have no reason to rush this process. Glad to see even just this amount of care and time being taken, but was kinda surprised he didn’t start out practicing with the Abbey Canucks for a “conditioning stint”

20. Not predictable at all, lol #tankharder

21. This reminds me of when DiPietro needed to be traded to play more games – now he’s in the ECHL rather than probably with the big club after this nows. How ironic

22. This team is past needing a rebuild. They have to call a priest to excersize their demons because their house is on cursed graveyard

23. Shut him down for the year.

24. uhg that is fucking terrible…. poor thatcher, he was quite anxious for his return but you could tell it felt really good for him to be back around the playing environment

25. “Ah, fuck, I think I pulled my Bedard tendon… take me off, coach”

    -Thatcher Demko, probably
