typical experience is $200-$300 + food cost. tmrw will be $15 + food cost. that's how I look at it. I'll probably buy something since I won't have time to do it before arriving.

Not if you show up late. Bunch of them went missing and some people around me were pissed they didn’t get one.

Had opportunity to buy tickets to game 7 and round 2 with the season ticket presale code. Seemed like they were getting snapped by quickly

Too poor after that game 1 though lol

Silovs definitely was a bit more shaky in game 5, but I wouldn’t expect much more from a young goalie still finding his game in the AHL. For the amount of chances Nashville had, if I remember I believe the canucks his 2-3 posts as well.

That's results oriented evaluation, it's pointless. Excessively pointless in a team game like hockey

He looked how he looked, regardless of the score

I don't know why people are pretending he is this phenom who has taken over the playoffs.. He's not. He's an AHL goalie who got called up, and is doing enough to keep them in games, with some shaky play at times.

Goaltenders can be shaky and barely get scored on, or even get shutouts. Sometimes the opposing team will barely miss, hitting a bunch of posts that got by the goalie. I thought Saros was shaky with his rebound control; the Canucks just weren't able to capitalize on it last game.

I don't think anyone is saying he's the second coming of Christ in there but as a third string goalie he's exceeded expectations given the situation he's been thrown in.

Did you miss some of the massive rebounds he gave away? Forget if it was in the second or the third but the one rebound he put ten feet in the front middle of the crease, just got lucky and the Nashville player had it bounce on him.

They were saying on the radio in advanced stats he’s actually doing quite well when it comes to high danger chances etc.

I don’t really see when you keep saying “shaky”

I’d consider Shaky is when you’re bobbling pucks or not controlling the puck after you’ve given up a goal or just generally looking hesitant in challenging, which, I don’t feel like we’ve seen yet from Silovs?

I don't keep saying shaky, I just said there were times he was shaky. I don't see how you could argue against that unless you don't watch.

I do keep saying that he is not as good as Demko, as Demko is one of my favourite goaltenders I have ever seen, and watching DeSmith and Silovs makes me appreciate him even more.

I keep getting told that the expectations should be low.. Well of course they should, he's a 3rd stringer AHL call up. But actual performance has nothing to do with expectations.. You watch him play, and see what you see - solid at times, great rebound control at times, but also out of position and flopping around after the first save a lot. It doesn't matter if he's a callup for a 10 year former Vezina winner; that's how he plays right now.

And they were able to win a game with a miracle comeback, and lose the next by a goal. He's not costing them games, but he still plays like he plays. I don't know why that's so controversial.

I still think if DeSmith is healthy, he will get the call over Silovs. But obviously the team knows better than we do!

Nylander put this team on his back

Bruins now face another 3-1 reverse sweep.

Pretty embarassing from both teams if you ask me haha.

I don’t get why you quoted me to lecture about Silovs being a phenom lol… where did I ever say that or that he is better than Demko?

He’s been perfectly capable though.

I'm preparing myself for the heartbreak if the same happens to the Canucks. Let's hope they get the job done tomorrow and clinch the series.
