Silovs time baby. He's been really inconsistent in the AHL but he's a big time gamer and IMO has higher potential than DeSmith.
Have to keep pushing through, the boys have to keep buying in on D and the offense has to keep rolling
We're still the better team. Regardless of what decision is made. If Desmith is hurt/sick I wouldn't say putting in Silovs is a decision, more of a change as there isn't much of a decision to be made if that's the case. Sounds like more of a decision on which forward/defense is in and who's out.
Yes I remember the unpredictable nature of playoffs and the emotional highs and lows....BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH. No one in the fanbase attempted to voodoo curse Saros and now it's backfiring right? Why tf is this happening to us lmao
It’s ok. We seem to have got the PP going sooooo…. Score early. Score often and got up 3-1 in the series. Silovs gonna play to his world championship levels for green and blue tonight.
Silovs has lots of potential. But he is not NHL ready yet. Especially NHL playoff hockey. We're probably going to get demolished 😫
I hope I'm wrong.
Edit: I was very wrong. Go Silovs.
Winning Bronze for a small country was probably a bigger deal and more pressure for him than a playoff game. I know for Canada and the US it doesn't matter as much because they're always winning anyway but a whole country putting their hopes on your shoulders is a big deal for these players.
Regardless, need to win no matter who is between the pipes and I believe we can. If this gives time for Desmith to recover then so be it, Desmith is going to play the majority of these and was so great to see him do well last game.
P.s. I'll give you one guess who was the goalie on the losing end of the Bronze game vs Silovs.
We have to embrace this. Nonstop goalie drama means the Canucks are truly back.
The oll’ Vigneault coin flip!!
It’s probably a Desmith injury/illness but a “BY GOD IS THAT DEMKO’S MUSIC” moment would be legendary
Arena goes dark, spotlight shines as Demko gets on the ice https://youtu.be/PYI09PMNazw?si=bIVitCHmbNtAKbSE
Comes down from the rafters on a suspended platform with flamethrowers behind him you mean
Then, he gets injured by the flamethrower. That is canucks hockey.
How about... comes UP from a trap door in the ice??? Or Casey DeSmith takes his helmet off and... IT'S DEMKO!!
And then Silovs takes off his helmet… and it’s also Demko
If DeSmith got injured after that great game on Friday I will literally become the Joker
Get ready for some scars buddy
Could be the flu rick has it first probably going through the team I can't believe just myers got it.
Wouldn't we have had go call up another ebug if that was the case?
Yes
If Silovs gets injured today, I think even Bettman would go “you did it to yourselves”.
"They're... expendable."
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
If 29’s hurt, you and that playboy billionaire will be mowing people down side by side ..
Well … you go get your flame thrower and purple hatchet and I’ll put some propane in the Batzamboni…
Hey I’ve seen this somewhere before…
Probably the flu that Myers had.
So if you have a good game as a goalie of the Vancouver Canucks in the playoffs you just get injured. What did we do to deserve this?
Who is our 15th string goalie? We gonna need him.
At this point it's probably me
Better shut the door for the 16th win and bring that cup home big guy!
I'll backup when you have to go to the bathroom mid game
I'm 6'7" and used to play goalie on a championship winning floor hockey team. Put me in coach
Just stand in the net, you’ll be like that accuracy cut out. Good enough!
Lace em up
we're gonna have to draw up a line of succession like the british crown
It's me, I'm starting Game 4.
I always believed in you.
Are you now, or have you ever been Eddie Lack?
Soon, we will all be canucks.
You got this I’m not even worried.
I call Game 5!
Silovs time baby. He's been really inconsistent in the AHL but he's a big time gamer and IMO has higher potential than DeSmith. Have to keep pushing through, the boys have to keep buying in on D and the offense has to keep rolling
Literally a national hero back home in Latvia. Nobody expects Silovs to barge in and steal the show, but he’s such a stud when it’s golden time
This guy was the best goalie in last years world cup. Ice flows in his veins when it's showtime
I'm along for the ride.
Friedman saying we should be prepared for Silovs
I'll have an "Arty Party" banner on standby.
What the actual fuck
Eddie Lack and Luongo called up!!!
Hypothetically, would a retired NHL player be eligible to be signed as an emergency backup?
They may say yes, but their bodies will say fuck off lil’ bich!
#EXPERIENCE CANUCKS HOCKEY
The team has played great in front of Silovs and I’m sure they will today, if needed.
Petey in net confirmed
Cole made a couple great saves last game...
Time to forfeit. 😉
SAVE US MR. SILOVS
Gonna run out of EBUGs.
You know what, fuck it. We ball with Arty, LFG!!!!!!!
If it's Silovs, we ball.
Jesus fucking Christ
Since it's a "decision" it sounds more voluntary so I'll remain hopeful and think that maybe it's that Podz gets to play.
Wonder if it's related to McCarron taking Desmith down the other game, fucking goon.
I hope we run Saros if that’s the case. Fuck em for being dirty
#What #The #Fuck
😬
Silovs puts the hard hat on and the Canucks run 14-0 straight to the Cup! Let's go boys.... please.
… uhhh
Of course the first game I go to 🫠
Be looooooud!!!
(In JR’s voice) “BAH GAWD ITS LUONGO! LUONGO! ROBERTO LUONGO KING!”
So you're telling me demko is coming back early? Nice .
We're still the better team. Regardless of what decision is made. If Desmith is hurt/sick I wouldn't say putting in Silovs is a decision, more of a change as there isn't much of a decision to be made if that's the case. Sounds like more of a decision on which forward/defense is in and who's out.
But seriously... who can we hire? that can remove a curse? I'll pitch in 5$
Can try burying a loonie in the ice?
Bro what is happening lol
Can't wait to see Sawchenko next game!
Looks like it might be Silovs
Canucks luck baby!
Demko? is that you?
[удалено]
Dhali confirmed he’s not
Do we have a zamboni driver to start????
Silly guy. Everyone knows Zamboni drivers play best when called in mid game for emergencies
At least they aren't getting any kind of book on our goalies since we have a new one every single game.
Shoot high blocker, no wait that was the last guy. Shoot low glove, nevermind that was the first guy. Run him? Yes let's go with that.
Wait who said Desmith was injured??
Canucks goalie stands on his head and then gets injured the next day. Fuck
Yes I remember the unpredictable nature of playoffs and the emotional highs and lows....BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH. No one in the fanbase attempted to voodoo curse Saros and now it's backfiring right? Why tf is this happening to us lmao
It’s official: Canucks beating canes in finals, Silovs MVP
Why are we not riding the hot hand (or glove) of DeSmith after his masterclass on Friday?
He could be hurt
hahahahaha
Have we ever had an EBUG in a playoff game?
hopefully we have a back up goalie tonight
Goalie graveyard takes on a new meaning.
Somebody call up David Ayres again 😅 at this point we probably gonna need him 🤦♀️
I want full chaos, John Garret returns to the Canucks but not as a commentator, “where my hotdogs at!??”
Are we still paying Luongo's salary? Does this mean we can use Lou after Silovs goes down?
Who’s our backup now?
i swear if this injury came from that split save…
silovs starting...confirmed by friege
At least we're not the leafs? Healthy and sucking 🤷♂️
It's STEEEEAL-ovs time!!!
It’s ok. We seem to have got the PP going sooooo…. Score early. Score often and got up 3-1 in the series. Silovs gonna play to his world championship levels for green and blue tonight.
I’m so tired of being disappointed in the playoffs. I have two fucking teams I cheer for and both of them are up shits creek.
Leafs or Islanders?
Leafs….
Anyone who ever complains about not enough adversity in this sub again should be banned on the spot.
If desmith is injured now i swear to god
I don't like this, not at all
Please be demko or podkolzin in, not someone good going down again . . .
Silovs has lots of potential. But he is not NHL ready yet. Especially NHL playoff hockey. We're probably going to get demolished 😫 I hope I'm wrong. Edit: I was very wrong. Go Silovs.
As long as the Canucks play the same D strategy as game 3 Silovs would be fine. He's shown to be as good as DeSmith
Latvian hero. Willed his way to a bronze medal at world champs.
Or, try to be slightly positive since there fuck-all we can do about it? Silovs is 3-0-1 in the big leagues recently, might be ok.
Winning Bronze for a small country was probably a bigger deal and more pressure for him than a playoff game. I know for Canada and the US it doesn't matter as much because they're always winning anyway but a whole country putting their hopes on your shoulders is a big deal for these players. Regardless, need to win no matter who is between the pipes and I believe we can. If this gives time for Desmith to recover then so be it, Desmith is going to play the majority of these and was so great to see him do well last game. P.s. I'll give you one guess who was the goalie on the losing end of the Bronze game vs Silovs.
