I know for some it was a jolt of excitement when they heard that Thatcher Demko had been recalled by the Canucks the other day. With the memories of the Boston game still fresh in everyone’s minds, you can’t blame some for thinking perhaps they were going to see if he was the answer. Since then both Anders Nilsson and Jacob Markstrom have performed well, and the Canucks were simply using a loophole in the CBA to call up Demko and give themselves some cap relief by doing so.
He was able to get some 1 on 1 time with Canucks goaltending coach Dan Cloutier, and has since been returned to the Comets.
