Cory Schneider on Thatcher Dekmo’s second hip surgery, personal recovery for him and more
Former Canucks Goaltender and NHL Network Analyst Cory Schneider joined the guys and talked about Demko’s second hip surgery and what he went through when he had hip surgery.
Cory Schneider's career was derailed by repeated injuries so I'm sure he can really relate to what Demko must be going through now. Sadly for the Canucks, I think the trajectory of Demko's career would be very much like the last few years of Schneider's… at some point, you just hope that Demko will have a clean bill of health for himself… hockey becomes secondary when your mobility becomes limited and you are constantly in discomfort.
Time to release Demko or find a way to buy him out. Hes done. Hes averaged 29 games played per season since he started in the NHL. It's over. Time reality gets faced.
Nice to see Tolopilo's shut out last night. Vancouver might just emerge okay with their goalie situation. Demko is done. If he does come back for one more try, he won't last more than 10-20 games. Let's not kid ourselves.
