Even though we lost the game yesterday, my favorite highlight was Silovs coming out of the net and going for the aggressive poke check
I was watching the game when that happened, that confidence, that aggression, I loved it. The backup role is Desmith's to lose next year and right now Silovs looks like he's getting it.
There's no next year for DeSmith... he's UFA in July. Silovs 100% is the backup next year...
Silovs is also a RFA, but he will certainly be cheaper than DeSmith's $1.8M... nevermind DeSmith will for sure want more than 1.8, he proved he can be a 1A goalie this year. Not a full-time 60 game starter I think, but a very viable 30-40 game guy.
Tocchet seems to be hinting at a Demko return, saying he has "improved immensely over the past 72 hours"
Not that Silovs had anything to do with the loss yesterday. It was his best game yet, although there are still a lot of weird communication issues with him and the defensemen when it comes to how to handle the puck in front of and behind the net.
I like to think that the Canucks play more aggressively with Demko in net, but realistically we will play Silovs tomorrow. Goaltending isn't really our issue right now. Better to rest Demko more so he doesn't reaggrevate his injury.
Can't win many games hitting the net less than 20 times.

It almost doesn't matter how good Silovs is, you still go to an available Demko if there's an available Demko... nobody can ever question that move and you're bulletproof as the coach making that call whether the team wins or loses because it's the only salient choice if presented with one.
Demko is much less exciting to watch, but that's a good thing. Silovs is getting there but he's still young and learning Clark's methods.
Oh yah I forgot to say, at the viewing party last night, I left my seat during the 2nd intermission to take a piss and when I came back the row in front of me had decided to leave and they took all of our towels?!?! Seriously... what the fuck is wrong with people in this city nowadays. Gonna try to sell em on marketplace or some shit?
First time in van? Never leave anything unattended in this god damn city lol.
If Demko is ready you almost want to put him in ASAP now no? Putting Silovs in you risk losing and then you're throwing Demko in on a possible elimination game as his first game back which isn't ideal.
It's a tough decision because Demko would be coming in rusty, it takes a few games to get your timing back, games of which we don't have.
On the other hand, Silov has been playing great and he's in the groove right now.
Very tough decision to make. I'd have Silov start, but put him on a short leash, if there's any fuckery afoot you put in Demko and keep him there for the rest of the series.
I think bottom line is we can't lose this series with a healthy Demko on the bench, so whichever way they decide to go about that is up to them but I'd rather it not be game 7 when he hasn't played since game one of the first round

Canucks might have to open up their offence more rather than sitting back. Maybe this gets Petey going...who knows..
they can't afford to not play him, so it feels like this was his punishment. make him answer the hard questions and hopefully light a fire under his ass. "if you don't want to put up with this shit, then do better"
Head of PR is in full damage control after that one, almost couldn't have gone worse.
Sedins have to sit his ass down and tell him what it takes to be seen as a leader on and off the ice.
If this was at work and I put him in that spot to take on some accountability in front of his team or the company I would be pissed at how he decided to show up.
