After being drafted by the Vancouver Canucks nearly seven years ago, Thatcher Demko is finally thriving as an NHL starting goaltender.
That might be hard for some people to digest. After all, the Canucks goaltending has been part of the reason why this team is near the league basement.
However, Demko’s game has been trending in the right direction for quite some time.
The first three games of the season did not go well for Demko. He gave up a combined 16 goals in three games — including seven against the Montreal Canadiens behind the Vancouver Canucks Comets defence.
