Injury Updates:
Sit left the game Saturday night and had a cast on his arm. Good thing we're so deep down the middle...
Bob Van Wert of EA reported Demko needs hip surgery at the end of the year but will play through it. It was rumored in the off season (August-ish) that he'd need it but he always said he's fine. Not surprising at all when you consider how big he is and watching him play.

Demko does all this despite those painful hips that are the result of those butterfly saves that are routine for any goalie nowadays. Off the ice he walks like an old man, but the BC coaching and training staff monitors him closely and treats his pains regularly. According to his father, Brenton Demko, his son with have surgery on both hips three days after the current season ends. The recovery period is three or four month and he will be ready to go again before the 2015-2016 season. "The surgery will free up his hips and believe it or not, he will be better than ever," his father said. The surgery is actually a complete cure, he explained, and it is not merely a stopgap treatment for a chronic condition. Will Vancouver keep him at BC next season?
Will be interesting to see if York goes with Demko on Wednesday. And if not, who he goes with as Billet has been the goalie scratched of late, Barone looked better in the exhibition but...
