Oh my ... Demko has the worst of luck when it comes to injury !! Feel for the guy.
For sure! The yea lets lose and tank jokes aside I feel bad for him and any athlete who has had to deal with this string of injury luck of lack thereof. Any professional athlete just wants to be able to play and he can barely do that without having to be out again.

I just don't know with all this lingering injury if he can return to a rock steady form ... this is a lose lose situation. Never wish this on a pro athlete.

Stadium series game this Sunday in Tampa between the Bruins and Lightning will have a pirate theme haha.
Sunday's Stadium Series game between the Lightning and Bruins has a unique hook.
To honour Tampa's pirate history, the rink will sit atop a treasure map design which will cover Raymond James Stadium's field, the NHL announced Tuesday.
The decision behind the pirate theme ties into Tampa's annual Gasparilla Pirate Festival, which begins Saturday and runs through the end of February.
FYI. A pirate ship inside the Raymond James stadium is part of the NFL team Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I've just been on auto pilot emotionally about this team for so long and I think like many am just so disappointed and speechless.
For the first time in a long time it felt like things were moving.
Drafting Boeser and Horvat with Boeser winning the Calder.
Drafting Demko and despite goalies not usually having a ton of hype as a prospect vs other players it felt like he was the future, my friends and I kept calling him our future Jonathan Quick
Drafting EP40 with him winning the Calder
Drafting Hughes no need to say more.
With fuck ups of win now and signing bums to terrible contracts among many other mistakes along the way I had never felt so angry that all of the above just to name a few were completely wasted. Aside from the bubble run and the season we had a couple years ago it literally all went to waste. Been watching the Canucks for like 35 years of my life, I'm freaking tired. I know some other fans in this market have had it worse but shit when will this end.
Minor detail but Boeser didn't win the Calder, it was Barzal that year.
While Demko's shown he still has the ability to play (he's only 30), it gets harder and harder to bounce back each time he comes back.
I'm not convinced he's one surgery away to fix whatever issue he has. I don't know if this is an injury related from before, but whatever the case, it seems like he just can't seem to stay healthy, whether it's a new or old injury.
His trust as a starter is plummeting and unlikely any team will rely on him to be a legit #1 again. This isn't one of those "player needs a change of scenary" things. Everyone in the league knows he's good, but what good is that if he ends up playing less games than a typical backup.

^I'm not convinced that surgery will fix his issues long-term either.
The man is broken goods.

Grow up fuckin Peter Pan and get a good nights rest.
Shit luck for a guy that has really given his all to this crappy franchise. I'm sure we'd all love to be wrong about him and he comes back healthy but yeah.... doubts are valid.
Same with Boeser btw. Dude finally starts scoring again just to get elbowed in the head and dealt a concussion. I swear that's happened to him more than once.

Oh yes sorry you're right. If I recall Boeser could have made a fight Calder if he didn't get injured. He missed 1/4 of the season and still scored 29 goals. Barzal absolutely had a great one though.

Definitely helps when Sharks didn't just get any 1st OA pick, but most likely the best one since McDavid so far. He's currently surpassed Bedard.
Early 2020's had a few duds and mediocre 1st OA. I hope for Canucks' sake, next draft isn't going to be like one of those...
Nobody ever knows how one would truly play out but typical Canucks luck whoever we draft may end up being a dud lol. I'm thinking Alexis Lafreničre vibes or Shane Wright who I know didn't get drafted at #1 but for the longest time was considered to be.

This year's draft doesn't seem like there are any 'generational' talent ... Gavin McKenna is ranked #1 - *yawn*.
Even last year, there was a real solid kid Matthew Schaefer NYI who is doing quite well in his 1st year in the NHL. NYI is in playoff spot right now ... I forgot how they were last year though.

Same as Montreal back in 2022 as I was looking at historical #1 picks today like who the hell is Juraj Slafkovský and when did Montreal get a #1 pick. Granted if I still watched and followed hockey as closely as I used to of course I'd know who all these guys are but sadly I don't anymore.

Lol, reminds me of Alexander Daigle's comment "nobody remembers number two".
Spoiler!
Number two was Chris Pronger.
