Arturs Silovs Has Got That DAWG In Him...

Scientists will tell you that there is no such thing as "The Clutch Gene", but I present to you an athlete that has the ability to take his game to remarkable heights when the stakes are highest. His name is Arturs Silovs, and he is the Vancouver Canucks' third string goaltender! He has carried them to the second round against the two best players in the world, how far can he possibly go?

The best way how a small KZbin channel can attract swarms of Latvians is to create a video about our hockey players 😊

[@Dani27289]

Team left him out to dry tonight, only player that gave a noticeable effort was Garland…Silovs has all the makings of our “next Demko” he looks so comfortable in the crease and the fact he’s performing at this level in such high stress situations proves Ian Clark is the GOAT goalie coach

[@TheBluelineHockey]

Garland was the only one to give it a 60 minute effort. On the powerplays, which were pathetic, he was the only one that looked dynamic. Once Silovs improves his puck tracking and long distance shots, look out. He has prime Vasilevsky/Bobrovsky written all over him.

100% I’d like to see your Latvia 🇱🇻 hockey history breakdown.

[@TheBluelineHockey]

Thank you! I’m thinking of doing it in the offseason, a lot of playoff content right now

[@Siborlv]

As a Latvian, I would also like to see it, love the content. Hope Silovs can help you get at least to the finals in the playoffs :)

[@R85544]

@@Siborlv in Silovs we trust 🙏!

[@VentsJansons]

@@TheBluelineHockey 6:10 slight detail you can include if you make the video: After the miracle on ice, the only soviet player to go congratulate the us was latvian. It was Helmuts Balderis (also the oldest NHL rookie ever)

[@Brock_Boeser]

Silovs balls are HUGE. A rookie goalie going for a poke check like that down 0-2 in an important playoff game! IF YOU’RE A GOALTENDER, BEAT KANE IN A FOOT RACE AND STOP A BREAKAWAY!!!!

[@ChiknNugg3s]

I screamed so loud!

[@The-Dom]

From the very first moment Silovs took the net he had a profound swagger about him, especially for the situation. I noticed it immediately as i was checking him for nerves... the complete opposite, he looked eager to go and in complete control.

[@pth6060]

He will get caught pulling stunts like that.

[@adrianpoesiat]

That was entertainment. Silovs in a sprint with Kane for puck possession. As John Cheech Garrett said, as Silovs came out, he kept control and played it perfectly, low crouch to avoid collision, kept his balance and skate brake and was aware of possible rebound to another oiler

[@The-Dom]

wow that one commenter actually crushed it. Silovs thrives on big games.

[@TheBluelineHockey]

I hope he is right about the SC final 🙏🏽

[@robertaandersone2363]

Big respect from Latvia, all the stuff you said about my country is totally true and I'm surprised about the research of our hockey history. Great job! P.S. I must say that the statue of Šilovs was temporary for the summer, but I sure hope he will bring the Cup to Vancouver AND another medal for Latvia one day so we will build a permanent one. 🤞

[@TheBluelineHockey]

Thank you! If and when they build it, I will personally make a pilgrimage to Riga to see it

[@Crimson19977]

As a Latvian, I’d like to see you make a separate video on our ice hockey history, I actually don’t know much about it myself, so it would be educational video for me as well. I subscribed :)

Gotta try and lighten up the mood after that stinker

[@DeathrashWhiplash]

Not the brass.. the chrome

[@Brock_Boeser]

Regardless of what happens this year a tandem of Silovs and Demko means the nucks might have the best goalie tandem in the league.

[@peytonluvscanucks]

As both a Latvian and a Canucks fan I couldn't be more proud of the dude.

[@ascent1on716]

I remember that original video and at that point I hadn't seen him play but when I look over at his performances on team Latvia the only thing I saw was CLUTCH

[@kanepesfilms]

Do not forget another one great Latvian NHL player - goalie Artūrs Irbe 😉

[@prtauvers]

What a great video- history, facts, fun, humility, excitement- it’s all there! As a lifelong hockey player born of Latvian parents in the US, your narrative was riviting and gave me goosebumps and proud for 🇱🇻. I’m a Ranger fan and hoping (beyond hope) to see Šilovs vs Shesty in the Cup finals!

[@TheBluelineHockey]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@AlistersA]

Minor correction - he didn't steal the net from Elvis in the world's, Elvis didn't join team Latvia that year. Interestingly enough, Latvia won Bronze against the US. Who was in the net for the US? His current teammate Casey DeSmith.

[@sktoh4469]

Interesting!

[@trevortomah8508]

This guy's gold, he's got heart, go Arturs Silovs go.

[@pirats73]

It is strange you forgot Artūrs Irbe...

[@healthcaredotgov3097]

Saw someone calling Silovs Demko’s Heir Apparent and I couldn’t agree more. He took ostensibly the best offensive team in the league to 7 games, some of the best development a goalie could ask for.

[@joeylal89]

I was in the house for the game, silovs was unreal. I was the only Canuck fan in my section 😂😂 I was saying let’s go boeser every time the crowd was saying let’s go oilers 😂😂

[@bransonb.v.ehrlich1699]

[@MajorCanada]

Would love to see a researched piece on Latvia hockey history. Really cool stuff!

[@adrianpoesiat]

I didn’t know that the Latvians introduced hockey to the Russians. Or that they had a hockey culture from the 1930’s. Back to tonight’s game. I agree with Ian Mckintyre’s synopsis. This version of the team hasn’t fully plugged in to playoff mode. Partly because half the roster has no playoff experience. Tonight’s game was crucial for the Canucks and they didn’t play with the same desperation as Edmonton until the third period. Learning curve

[@vikinginsane6770]

half the roster doesn't have playoff experience? Cole has 2 rings, he looked brutal out there.

[@TheBluelineHockey]

Cole has been horrific, he has to go. I know Juulsen made a bad mistake, but his is easily correctable and otherwise he was solid. You can’t fix whatever is up with Cole right now.

[@adrianpoesiat]

@@vikinginsane6770 true. Fatigue? Plus brutal luck

This team has been blessed with amazing goalies the past 15 years or so....Luongo,Schneider,Markstrom,Demko, and likely now Silovs.

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

@@TheBluelineHockey Hmm interesting. Harold Šneps is actually Latvian, his parents fled Latvia during WW2, same with Mike Knuble. Helmuts Balderis is an oldest NHL player drafted at 36, if Latvia wouldnt be occupied by soviets, Helmuts would be legendary striker in NHL.

[@Nna-kv9wd]

as an oilers fan i actually fear this game 7 because hes in net he has been damn near stnading on his head the whole series game 6 wasnt his best but the rest of the games he was really good

definently do a latvian hockey history video. But id say leave till after the playoffs so you can focus your attention here for now

[@douglepong]

I agree. Canucks are opposite of the Oilers. Almost every goalie I see does well in Vancouver.

[@TheAdemiuslv]

5:52 you forgot the brick wall Artūrs Irbe, amongst the legends. Zemgus Girgensons still is a thing, not talking about new ones Kristiāns Rubīns Rūdolfs Balcers. There are more that even I can't name, so no hard feelings.

[@TheBluelineHockey]

Arturs Irbe! The Canuck legend, I mentioned him in a previous video titled "How The Canucks Went From Goalie Graveyard To Goalie Factory", I will make sure to bring him up again

[@MrCoda47]

He's the only one that kept the Canucks from being annihilated, 12 / 0 in that game

Canucks should trade Demko, free up that cash and get some faster skating offensive players on the roster and they'll be a more complete team. Shilovs to me can become a very very good starter in this league.

[@TheNewGreenIsBlue]

Śilovs has been playing great, but we have yet to see how he bounces back from a bad night. He's been fantastic, but there are still questions... as he hasn't had a bad game... yet. It'll happen and when it does, we'll see what he's made of.

[@valentineazimov7768]

FYI hes not "Silovs", hes "Shilovs". H got lost due to in Latvian "sh" is written as a single letter š
