JASON DEMERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Jason Demers return for Sharks in Game 4 and play forward
Sharks defenseman Jason Demers has been out of the lineup since April 18 with a sprained left ankle, but he could return to the ice for Tuesday’s Game 4 against the Kings.
Demers says he’s ready to play, but the ultimate decision is with the coaching staff. If he is inserted back into the lineup, it may be at forward, with Adam Burish still unable to play, Raffi Torres suspended...
PLAYOFF PREVIEW PARTY - KNOW YOUR 2ND ROUND OPPONENT: SAN JOSE SHARKS
*THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE ROYAL HALF,
BUT RATHER OUR RESIDENT CREEPER AND OPPONENT-PREVIEWER, ONE GIRL, ONE PUCK*
Let's do this one more time shall we? So much has already been said about the Sharks, but there is something that has always been kind of creepy about them. I'm not talking creepy, like me creeping on the Red Wings in Anaheim, I'...
Brent Burns back to blue line for now with Jason Demers out
After taking a big hit in Thursday’s win over the Red Wings, Sharks defenseman Jason Demers will miss Saturday’s tilt against the Coyotes.
With no other defenseman remaining on the active roster after the team shipped Douglas Murray to Pittsburgh, that means Brent Burns, the Sharks’ hottest forward for the past two-and-a-half weeks, will have to slide back to the blue line...
Dan Boyle returns for Sharks vs. Oilers Thursday; Jason Demers still out
The Sharks blue line is getting a boost Thursday vs. the Oilers, but it won’t be the double boost they had hoped for.
Dan Boyle will return to the team’s defensive lineup, but Jason Demers will still be held out after returning to the team’s active roster on Wednesday.
Boyle missed Tuesday’s shootout win over the Ducks with some type of undetermined illness. From David Pollak...
All good things
Jason Demers is ready to play. He took slapshots Tuesday and Wednesday, and spent some extra time working with both Larry Robinson and Jim Johnson after Tuesday's practice. Wednesday, he was practicing with a power play unit. That would argue for Demers being in sooner than later. My guess is that sooner would be even sooner if Boyle is still out Thursday. Today, Frazer...
Pre-game notes, Ducks @ Sharks 1/29/13
The reports about Jason Demers and Brent Burns should be considered positive developments. The reports I mean are things like:
Jason Demers practiced with the team and took line rushes with Matt Irwin this morning while Nick Petrecki and Brent Burns skated together. Still, McLellan stopped short of declaring Demers good-to-go. -Working the Corners
Even if Demers isn't expected...
Demers and Braun on Finland
Two Sharks defensemen went to play in Finland during the lockout. Oddly, they both returned with hand injuries and probably won't be available to start the shortened season. The only thing that would make it more odd would be if it was the same hand. It isn't. Jason Demers has a soft removable cast on his right hand, Justin Braun has a cast with a port hole for...
Sharks injuries: Brent Burns’ status uncertain; Jason Demers’ wrist not as hurt as thought
Now that the start of the season has become a very real thing in sight with the lockout tentatively coming to an end Sunday, the Sharks have some very real injuries they need to deal with now.
And as it turns out, all of those hit by the injury bug are defenseman.
First there’s Brent Burns, who had had surgery in May to correct a sports hernia and groin injury that hobbled him...
Jason Demers and other game day thoughts
This morning, Brent Burns was skating with Colin White. No one skated for long, but that’s what I saw. Predictably, the other two pair were Boyle with Vlasic and Braun with Demers. Forward lines pretty much the same as in the last game. From David Pollak’s observations, don’t expect to see Douglas Murray. Niemi starts. I mean, I assume he will. He left the ice first...
The Ballad of Jason Demers
As many of you know from this posting, I try my best to stay sane, coherent, and as creep free as possible when spotting players in the wild. I started my working life in Hollywood, and have literally rubbed elbows with some big names, all of whom I might have been somewhat excited by, but was able to keep a cool, mostly professional demeanor around. Not so with hockey players...
