Because he had a major setback. It's such an odd and rare injury he's dealing with that it's been a discovery process for over six months now. He could be dealing with this for the rest of his career too.
@@gocanuckurself1 absolutely, not a huge follower of his, but always hearing about him injured. Sucks especially since he’s quite a good goaltender when on his game.
He came back from the blood clots when everyone would’ve on his side if he retired. You hate to see it but he is done physically. He can still play but his body is not in a good place. Honestly he needs to retire so the Canes can move on.
"When he's healthy" has been the curse for Freddie Andersen. One of the local sportscasters said that he'll be out "8-12 weeks plus two more weeks of 'Freddie tax' since he never returns until he feels at least 100%."
In fantasy, if you lost Anderson, try to snatch up Dustin Wolf from Calgary. He's been sneaky good. Big test tonight to determine if he's auto start from now on.
That Whitecloud hit wasn't great. I mean he absolutely elevated into it, even though it wasn't a jump. But hearing the Leafs announcers trying to draw comparisons between it and the Reaves hit, and Leafs fans acting like they'd been done some great injustice was infuriating. Like the two aren't even in the same plane of existence. There's no comparison. Reaves' hit was much, MUCH worse.
I like that Berube simply said it.was ruled a clean hit and nothing more to say about it. He's seeing the bigger picture of we still won the game with a shutout to boot, moving on to the next game
It was a clean hit. Tucked his arm in, didn’t jump (momentum propelled him upward) and hit through the body. Even LeafsNet agreed it was a “good, clean, hockey hit”
I am buying all Kochetkov stocks I get my hands on. Shannon, when video about goalies in the market? I am sure its gonna be a majestic video. I think Blackwood would spark a lot more interest than Vaneczek.
Andersen reminds me of my Avs’ Pavel Francouz. He was great when he was healthy, but sadly he couldn’t stay healthy, and injuries ended up ending his career. 😞
I expected to read that Newsie was canned and it was Montgomery instead, this is the last year of his deal, hopefully Yzerman is not going to let it run out, which would destroy this season
THG,the game is so fast,as fast as it ever has been,sometimes it is on avoidable,nothing intended!Pleasedont embellish that it may be a dirty hit!It still is and let’s hope it always will be!Thisaint golf!Contact sport,end of story!
Even if we get Demko back, what are the chances he'll ever be the same at this point? This season has been just bad news after bad news for the Canucks.
If you’re the Canucks GM do you see if anyone would trade for Demko? I understand that his value is obviously the lowest it’s been but is it worth it to risk the ifs? If he comes back, if he’s still as good. Also doesn’t his contract end soon?
I think the canes might go after a 3rd goalie, bc right now it's Perets behind Spencer Martin and he's not nhl caliber at all at the moment. So bring somebody in now or you're an injury away from having to make a panic move.
Bro, I have Matthews, Point, Boeser, Grubaurer, Sprong, Slafkofsky and Gibson all on IR/bench, I'm at.500 right now but I won't be for much longer if they don't get healthy
I find it funny that for a while now you've clarified that you read the board from top to bottom because "That's how boards work." This implies there are people watching who don't know that.
As a Canes fan....I'm glad. He single handed lost the playoffs for us last season. Give the crease to Kochetkov and don't look back. Maybe this is the last time Anderson gets hurt as a Hurricane. I hope he never see the Canes crease again.
1:32 they're calling that an illegal hit all the time. He left his feet. The rule (unwritten) has been, if they leave their feet, even after the hit, even after they stepped off the ice, if they still leave their feet, illegal. LOL 2:06 It's been proven time and time again that you just have to make the playoffs to win the Cup. You don't have to be the best team in the league when the playoffs START. So as long as Demko comes back during a time that the Canucks are still in the playoff picture, whatever.
I dont think the hit will divide the hockey comminity, its obviously a clean hit, just leaf fans wanting to somehow equate reeves turning nurse into an owl to this and giving the woe is me shtick.
I think if there was some "program" or training that could take place to extensively show the AI what to call and what not to call, I think it could work. It'd probably lead to a lot more penalties but it'd also be something interesting.
Can't wait to see Askarov in teal tonight. I hope he is mentally prepared to be on a losing team, though. It's gotta be tough to go from good teams all your life to the Sharks (I feel it's still taking its toll a little on Will Smith).
we went from "demko might be ready for the next round of playoffs!" to this..
Because he had a major setback. It's such an odd and rare injury he's dealing with that it's been a discovery process for over six months now. He could be dealing with this for the rest of his career too.
@@TheHockeyGuy John Gibson... you are a Vancouver Canuck!
@@brAnd7onX87 I believe in Lankinen/Silovs more than I would in John Gibson.
I have 0 faith in Demko.. within 2 months he will be injured again, I'd work on trading him and shop around.
@@InfectedElite 100%, if Demko does return he's the backup moving forward in my eyes. He won't be any better than what lankanen has served up so far.
Freddie just can’t stay healthy good lord
Hate to see it 😔
Thought i was smart to pick up demko on waivers and stash on ir
Have ingram and freddie as my two goalies 😢
@@gocanuckurself1 absolutely, not a huge follower of his, but always hearing about him injured. Sucks especially since he’s quite a good goaltender when on his game.
@@unoriginal7392yup, he’s very good. Definitely sucks that he’s so injury prone.
He came back from the blood clots when everyone would’ve on his side if he retired. You hate to see it but he is done physically. He can still play but his body is not in a good place. Honestly he needs to retire so the Canes can move on.
Thanks for the video! I appreciate your regular updates and info!
Sharks fan, very excited to see how Askarov plays
…let’s just hope the d-core doesn’t let him down
"When he's healthy" has been the curse for Freddie Andersen. One of the local sportscasters said that he'll be out "8-12 weeks plus two more weeks of 'Freddie tax' since he never returns until he feels at least 100%."
I was wondering if you were gonna cover the Kapanen waiver claim. Kinda surprised the Oilers went for him
In fantasy, if you lost Anderson, try to snatch up Dustin Wolf from Calgary. He's been sneaky good. Big test tonight to determine if he's auto start from now on.
If you're in fantasy and wolf isn't owned you need to join a more competitive league
Wish there was more info on Eberle, that crash into the boards looked nasty.
Thanks for your work
Thank you.
The Canes should have known the human ace bandage aka Freddie Andersen would get injured
If Freddie could just catch a break from the injury bs.

Waiting on red wings news on either trading players out for draft picks or firing the coach
I expected to read that Newsie was canned and it was Montgomery instead, this is the last year of his deal, hopefully Yzerman is not going to let it run out, which would destroy this season

Or Yzerman getting fired
@ that won’t happen, he’s gotten one of the best players each year of the draft despite getting shafted in the drafts
Is Demko treated in Germany too :P?
Zing !!
Great channel
Really happy jbd gets the call in. If ottawa doesnt want him to play here full time we need to let him go, we're ruining his career.
Hyman is ruled out for tonight's game, so Caggiula likely to be in the lineup.
Looking forward to a silky smooth game from Sasson.
Fredrick Andersen is money, but man he gets hurt every year!
Even if we get Demko back, what are the chances he'll ever be the same at this point? This season has been just bad news after bad news for the Canucks.
Hi Shannon !...
Well as much as I like Demko, I am lacking the faith in his longevity. Good for the Canucks that his contract ends end of next season.
If you’re the Canucks GM do you see if anyone would trade for Demko? I understand that his value is obviously the lowest it’s been but is it worth it to risk the ifs? If he comes back, if he’s still as good. Also doesn’t his contract end soon?

My fantasy team is a graveyard
Which player do I pick up next to get injured
Kuemper, Andersen and Ersson were my goallies ...
Bro, I have Matthews, Point, Boeser, Grubaurer, Sprong, Slafkofsky and Gibson all on IR/bench, I'm at.500 right now but I won't be for much longer if they don't get healthy
@@klompsauce Well, only Matthews remains on the IR so better days are coming for you, good luck !...
I felt it was at most borderline, same with the Nurse hit. It could have had the same result, but thankfully that seems not to be the case.
The Leaf coach is saying that because he has to, the players and coaches are not allowed to critise the refs and leauge or they get fined.
I have my doubts, that Demko will be back this or next season..
Lol demko ain't ever coming back
Spoiler alert, Ken Johnson did have a good night in his return and CBJ did in fact beat Tampa
KJ has got his work cut out for him. Hoping it brings a spark to Columbus.

I find it funny that for a while now you've clarified that you read the board from top to bottom because "That's how boards work."
This implies there are people watching who don't know that.
Andersen, just can't get a break. Demko, has had way to long a break, Ingram gets a bit of a break
That feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow
Im assuming we probably wont see lekkerimaki for more than 8 games this season so that his rookie conctract doesnt kick in
Demko isn’t coming back. I just don’t see it.
As a Canes fan....I'm glad. He single handed lost the playoffs for us last season. Give the crease to Kochetkov and don't look back. Maybe this is the last time Anderson gets hurt as a Hurricane. I hope he never see the Canes crease again.

Now that europe leagues are using AI to call penalties how do you think this will benefit the NHL when it comes here?
LOL, every consipracy theory would just get so much worse. I hope they never have AI calling penalties.
I think if there was some "program" or training that could take place to extensively show the AI what to call and what not to call, I think it could work. It'd probably lead to a lot more penalties but it'd also be something interesting.
@@HarryRiceHockey at least it would always be consistent
I'm from Finland, and I follow European hockey quite a bit. I've never heard of AI calling penalties, do you have a source for this claim?
This video is literally just injuries
Can someone explain to me how Assdeep Bains is on the team? 17 games in the NHL and only 1 point. He's on the PP as well. Buddy stinks...
I’m sorry but if Georgie’s being the upside for the Avs goal tending is…not great. He is nickname is forgiev for a reason.
Big core test for the Caps tonight. They hold thier own and it will be eye opening for the rest of the league.
Can't wait to see Askarov in teal tonight. I hope he is mentally prepared to be on a losing team, though. It's gotta be tough to go from good teams all your life to the Sharks (I feel it's still taking its toll a little on Will Smith).
This would stop ✋️ immediately with a rule that keeps the hit-er out as long as the hit-e. Keeping the cap hit on the books for the offending team.
But it was a clean hit
