We’ve discussed it all before. Anders Nilsson gets lit up in New Jersey and refuses to face the media after the game. The Vancouver Canucks‘ fan base began calling for a trade, including The Canuck Way’s very own Alex Hoegler, who called the trade more than a day before it happened.
Nilsson gets sent off to Ottawa and Canuck nation is put on Thatcher Demko watch, patiently awaiting the arrival of one of the franchise’s most touted prospects. Demko did not disappoint in his NHL debut a season ago against the Columbus Blue Jackets, a game that saw the Vancouver Canucks come out victorious by a score of 5-4.
