Demers was a great dman, a warrior. Played the game the right way. Probably a bit under the radar playing in the west. He played a Lidstrom style. Sacrificed some offense by doing all the little things defensively that often go under appreciated, while still putting up some points. Great story about overcoming adversity and getting that 700th game. Tocchet a real scumbag move to scratch him for rest of yr at 699. Very Babcock-esque.
