Agree that Demko hasn't been close to his old self, but he too will be back to his old ways, just as Markstrom will. The defensive group for the Canucks lacks enough guys who can quickly get the puck up ice I their forwards. Hughes is solid, Rathbone looks like he can do it too but the rest of the mix is meh. Without more of those type of dmen, the forwards and Canucks as a group are moving up ice way too slowly.
