Should they stick with Silovs?

The Vancouver Canucks beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead. The Canucks goal scorers were Brock Boeser (2) and Lindholm (2). The Oilers goal scorers were Ekholm, Bouchard, and Draisaitl. Silovs made 42 saves on 45 shots against for the Canucks. Stuart Skinner made 11 saves on 15 shots against and he was pulled for Pickard who made 3 saves on 3 shots against. Who impressed you the most in this game?

[@benh8199]

Magic happens for the oilers when Ian Cole is in front of the Canucks net

[@radek_taylor34]

Yea that's 3 times now, 2 in 2 games, idk why tocc hasn't bencher him yet

[@happysidhu5066]

BENCH him .. or get this guy out of the crease

[@tommyjack6425]

Even with the 5 goals against the team found a way to win 2 games with his incompetence. Lol 😊

[@stinkfinger630]

Cole is compromised, or something…

[@DoubleG7793]

Poor guy can't catch a break lol

[@mr_snac]

I wanna keep Demko healthy. He’s done magic for the Canucks, and Silovs is picking up the slack beautifully. Wait unless it’s absolute last ditch

[@velvetsmoooth4980]

I’m Silovs all day currently. He’s warm, in the zone and in the battle currently with no reason to switch back. Until there is a reason. I am not just talking this series. He is proving he is a world class goaltender. No disrespect to Demko or Desmith but let’s back up our current goaltender who is playing unreal. I’m running Silovs to the cup if it continues as is.

[@adidzis]

IIHFWC MVP 2023 to Šilovs wasn't awarded without reason. He has already proven himself as the best goalie in World hockey championship. Any doubts about his skills and capacities?

[@cro3678]

would be legendary

[@petrikallio2485]

That kid is not some fluke or anything, he was MVP on last year iihf wc

[@adamtajhassam9188]

Let Demko get to 100% it could be 1 game and he is injured again.

[@sincitysinnermike]

Ian Cole is one of the Oilers' leading goal scorers this series. 😂

[@kroe8596]

Sleeper agent for Edmonton.... Someone needs to put his name on an Oilers jersey ASAP

[@meljoseph2898]

I just about shit myself when the puck bounced off him into the net. The guy is cursed in this series and needs to be taken off when the game becomes critical.

[@strawpaladin213]

He has more goals then most of their team now, that's for sure... Even Mcdavid...

[@billMcKenzie-eh4tk]

When we going to replace him with Juulson?

[@danielpatterson5189]

I think you stick with Silovs for the series. He's earned the coach's faith and I have doubts if a 70-80 percent Demko is as good or better than Silovs. Plus you throw in rust as a factor who knows what you get. And that is potentially in elimination games too.

[@Rezisorss]

Putting Demko back in a such a high intensity game with Oilers is like a guy trying to catch 220 mph speed train with bare feet

[@TheZephlol]

Silov is focused and hot right now. He's now has some Oiler experience to know what to expect. Compare to a cold Demkos, it should be an easy answer

[@chrisfreeland5480]

You go with Silovs until at least the end of the series. Playoffs are all about riding momentum and Arty has shown he's got the momentum. Of course, if he's getting blown out, then you pull him for Demko (imagine that, Demko as the backup). If/when the Canucks make the 3rd round, you reassess from there.

[@BAG-es6qy]

I'm watching Canucks only because Šilovs! He is reason why VAN playing in round 2. 💯💥

[@baiqi44]

The Oiler didn't "limit" the Canucks to 18 shots. The Canucks stop playing offense once they have a lead going into the 3rd and are in constant defend mode. Not a good recipe, but it works (at least for 2 goal leads). They barely had any shots in the 1st round against the Preds as well. They're a team that goes for quality instead of quantity as well. But, Oilers took over the 2nd half of game 3 (like they did in game 2) cause Nucks just stopped playing offense for the most part.

[@MrCoda47]

Yeah, I agree which really sucks because look what happened to Edmonton when they did that they lost Canucks keep doing it it's gonna come back to bite them in the ass

[@tedcity5861]

Nucks are making " Ropa dope " hockey work 😅. I would like a bit more offense to keep the oil honest.

[@glenw-xm5zf]

Silly question imo. Silovs stopped 42 shots and is .955 in post season play

[@tommyjack6425]

They have no choice but to stick with Silovs. Even when Demko comes back. The team has rallied around the kid. This is his time. When the team loses a game because of him, and Demko is available then you go to arguably the best goalie in the world.

[@esperago]

Last year, Lyon came in and saved the Florida Panthers playoff hopes and stole the show in the first game or two of the semi finals. However, as soon as Bob was 100%, Lyon was dropped like a hot potato. It worked out well. Bobrovsky was sensational. If Demko is totally healthy, I think the Canucks need to let the man cook.

[@matains88]

No, let Šilovs go play for his national team and become the world championship MVP again.

[@tedcity5861]

Ya, oil would love that. 😅😅

[@HuntingBuzz]

Heres the argument that will happen win or lose for the oilers. “We had a rookie goalie in net the whole series and not demko” or “shouldve kept silovs in net demko is still injured”

[@alexandermacdougall7873]

Of course they should. Stupid question. Right now, it's his job to lose. Save Demko for the next series, after they take out the oilers

[@hmoney123]

Keep him. He’s got what it takes

[@user-in7th5uo1m]

Tochet will always reward a player for his good performance. Silovs starts!

[@imann871]

Silovs. Ride the hot hand. If Silovs has a garbage game or shows signs of exhaustion, bring in Demko.

[@primekiller5729]

It's Silovs net to lose!

[@jeffreygreen8668]

He’s done an amaaaazing job, no doubt. But think, if Demko is actually-actually fit for the Western Final, it’s an auto-intimidate for the other team. “They’ve burned through the first and second rounds with their *third string* GT. and now their no1 is back…” And then we can sub in Šilovs if we need to…

[@Enruler]

Silovs has earned his shot I think, at least for this series. If he has a bad game switch it up, but he's earned his spot.

[@broughtonparkade5381]

He’s proven his worth.

[@nolankuffner3573]

I'd say there's a better chance for Pickard to start than Silovs not playing game 4, regardless of whatever else happens, Demko back or not. Fact is, he is a massive reason they're up 2-1. If it was 2-1 Oilers, yeah, in a heartbeat. No one was taking Adin Hill out last year 🤷

[@yanbing2465]

id say they need to keep arturs silovs in net, he already experienced 3 games with the oilers and holding it down hard. buddy is warmed up and knows what to expect from the oliers. keep him in for the rest of round 2 and switch out to demko for WCF

[@AdityaKaul-dm8fk]

Simple calculation. If Demko had performed the way Silovs has, would you be happy? If yes, then don't fix what's working.

[@martinsandersons1614]

Stick with hot one. 🎉

[@nolankuffner3573]

Crazy thing about the Oilers? If they were in Vancouver's position, it would be Jack Campbell in net right now 😂

[@rajendprasad1034]

Let Demco recover fully and have Silovs in net to takeover he is fast and furious he is a MVP in all the games

[@gordon7306]

Yes and make goal posts smaller

[@TraderK67]

SILOVS !!!!!! HOT GOALIES WIN PLAYOFFS......Stick with SILOV 💯💯💯💯💯

[@ruckinehround6965]

He is steady and calm in the crease….he stays as long as you can ride him.

[@thelastcarnival]

i started watching Hockey because of Thatcher Demko, but at least for the rest of this series the Canucks gotta dance with the one that brung em.

[@sheamatheson560]

Silovs is mvp right now, he kept them in that game 3. I'd for sure play him over Demco, even after Demco is healed up from whatever injury he has. That young Olympian has nerves of steel

[@joycenkenes]

He doesn't get overwhelmed from anything . you figure he's played on some crappy teams before.

[@ianmackie8959]

It's the playoffs folks you ride the hot horse.

[@Xyy2387]

It's Silovs net until Demko is 100% healthy.

[@benh8199]

Demko may in fact actually be made of glass

[@glenw-xm5zf]

????????????????

[@Sam-2468]

When vancouvers backup backup is better than the oilers starter

[@theevilascotcompany9255]

Third string backup, I might add.

[@Sam-2468]

@@theevilascotcompany9255 yea backup backup

[@TrendingUpdateCentral]

Demko is only taking shots from the goalie coach, not going to his knees, he's not even close to coming back.

[@McWerp]

Demko at 100% hes in. Hes just steady and reliable in a way Silovs isn't quite there yet. Demko at 80%, let him rest up and heal. No crazy pressure yet, and Silovs is performing well.

[@tedcity5861]

Unlikely Demko will be 100% til oct.

[@McWerp]

@@tedcity5861 then you ride the hot hand til you’re forced to make a hard decision.

[@lucaslung284]

Silovs has been great there is no question that you start Demko if he’s healthy.

[@johnison76]

Keep it with Silovs at this point and give Demko all the time he needs to fully recover.

[@SouthernMichigan]

Silovs is best goalie in the nhl right now

[@Paul-eb9qj]

Time. Silvos gives Demko and the Canucks the luxury of time to properly heal.

[@kroe8596]

Play Demko for game 6/7 if it comes to it

[@meljoseph2898]

Superstition wouldn't allow the Canucks to put Demko in even if he was 100%. But with that said getting back to full form will more likely get DeSmith put aside and have Demko game ready for the the third round if they advance.

[@CerroZimm]

Playing Silovs is good idea, knowing there is no backup available the team will only have on focus, is to win.

[@andreaskaphengst8121]

The guy just stopped 42 out of 45 shots from Edmonton and you’re asking this question. Have you lost your marbles?

[@MrCoda47]

Unless he suddenly takes a big nose dive, I'd leave him. Where is let Demko get real healthy for the next round

[@quakzl181]

Keep him artyparty 100%

[@deanstevenson1649]

there's an unwritten rule in pro sports: you don't lose your starting spot if you get injured. if that weren't true, then athletes would think twice before putting their bodies on the line. if you want guys to leave it all out there, you need to put guys back in the lineup when they return from injury, full stop. he might be competing for a job after that, but he/she doesn't sit on the bench first game they are 100% ready to go. occasionally a team/coach breaks this rule, but it's a big deal when they do, and sends a very bad message. it's not a sustainable way to run an organization.

[@nauris9383]

worked for patriots with Brady

[@Orpheusftw]

If it ain't broke...

[@davidtran2683]

In the case of Demko being healthy, you play King Arturs Silovs until he loses or has a night where he's

[@geronimo9595]

stick with silovs until his magic runs out. extra time for demko's knee wont hurt

[@Pottan23]

Silovs has proven himself capable of holding down the fort, if a goalie is hot he is hot and should play.

[@YPM-fx4yj]

yes silovs he was fkn amazing tonight

[@Brockxz]

Silovs is one of the main reasons Latvia got bronze medals last years World Championship so stick with Šilovs as he is hot now

[@teleportrobin]

Our Latvian King forever

[@mayykit7855]

In my opinion, I still need Demko he is still no 1 for me, and I know Silovs is doing very well but it's not meant to throw Demko away while he is healing. Silovs he's doing well but I think he needs more experience in the playoff games and I know this is a good opportunity for Silovs to shine and bright like a diamond 😊😊

[@sineirsnapic]

For this series stay with Silovs

[@spartan4196]

Let silovs close it out

[@nicpete492]

the post and silovs is the only reason edmonton didn't win last night

[@toesly]

Arty Party

[@Mori_mee]

keep him in for playoffs let demko get healthy

[@douglepong]

I don’t think it matters who’s back there for Vancouver. Skinners the liability for Edmonton.

[@user-yt9gy4wp7b]

Demko should play period.

[@thebiglobotomy5157]

Silvos is the Brock Purdy of the NHL… If ya know, ya know.

[@KM-fl5jq]

Silovs was world championship MVP last year.. Let the guy cook.. xD

[@twifightsparkill]

Silovs has saved this franchise, however Demko is a bonafide Vezna contender - on the matter of basic sense, you can't help but put Thatcher in out of simple logic: he's a number one goalie in the NHL. Silovs deserves to be one day, but he isn't. Yet. Love him AND his pink shirt but yannow. Common sense means Demko.

[@tedcity5861]

No it doesnt make sense at all. Even if Demko is healthy, he wont be playoff sharp. Tocchet didnt get to where he is by making rookie mistakes.

[@bananian]

Good goalies aren't going to help against dryseidle and Hyman anyway. 😅

[@meljoseph2898]

Bad goalies aren't doing the Oils any favours either.

[@aartidevi4499]

Play silovs and keep demko healthy and get even better

[@kwpoint]

Demko needs more time ⏲️ sad to say, but it's true to leave the kid in.

[@billMcKenzie-eh4tk]

Silov is pronounced SEAL-OFF!!!

[@Beachbum16]

If Cans take the cup would Arty Party name even be on the trophy even if he plays all the remaining games?! Because of lack of total game count

[@AndyCandy13]

I think you only need one game in the playoffs to get your name on the cup?

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

Yep all you need is 1 playoff game played regardless of regular season

[@dingbatrambozo7749]

Stick with the guy who brung ya. the team plays like they trust him

Wtf kinda question is that? Should we change the goalie who is winning everything? Sure why not, winning isn't important in the playoffs right? Oh wait, are you a leafblower why you think winning isn't everything in the playoffs?

Definately stick with Silvos

Sorry, but Demko is brittle, injury prone. If he was a racehorse…
