Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko had a pretty good game in Vancouver’s opener against the Oilers on Wednesday, especially when you consider the circumstances.
Demko faced 22 Edmonton shots and only allowed one goal, but he was still pulled from the game in the third period. Why? Because he vomited into his mask, Canucks coach Rick Tocchet revealed after the game.
“He started to feel dehydrated,” Tocchet told reporters. “He didn’t really want to come out, but then when he puked in his mask, I said ‘you got to come out.’”
