Thatcher Demko has been rehabbing from a major injury suffered during the Stanley Cup Playoffs and now a new report has confirmed the injury is unfixable.

The Vancouver Canucks season came to an unfortunate end after they lost to the Edmonton Oilers. A big reason for their series loss was the injury that Thatcher Demko suffered in round one against the Nashville Predators.

Despite this terrifying news, there is a silver lining for the Vancouver Canucks, Thatcher Demko, and fans. While the injury cannot be fixed Thatcher Demko is expected to return in the near future.
