  1. oh gosh….*gross*

    obv hope he’s better soon but what a gamer playing like that while suffering flu symptoms

  2. Dude. That’s pretty telling to how bad the Oilers played tonight. They made demmers up chuck into the maskeroni

  3. Well, hopefully, he rests up for the next few days at the very least. If Vancouver is to make the playoffs, Demko needs to be healthy for the full season, and if he’s not feeling well, he shouldn’t play on Saturday.

  4. Tocchot: Let’s get some good passes going!

    Canucks: *pass the flu around like a hot potato*

    Tocchet: No! No! Not like that!

  5. I was at the game and we were all wondering why Desmith suddenly played in 3rd period. I thought Tocchet was just trolling the Oilers because they pulled Campbell and brought Skinner.

  6. This makes me so happy we got DeSmith, he’s a pro goalie not an AHL callup, although Demko is still better IMO, but it feels like we have the opportunity for an actual tandem system this year so #35 stays healthy

  7. Bleh we’ve been super sick over here too. It’s only October. Long fall and winter ahead.

    (Just love cleaning puke from sick babies lol)

  8. I was hoping we we’re gonna try resting Demko for little bits when we are up 4-5 goals in the 3rd. That would be smart.
