Crunched a guy for a boarding. Wasn't through the numbers though. The guys left shoulder was next to the boards and Silayev hit him through like the backside of the guys right shoulder and drove him face first into the boards.

So he cheapshotted someone? Can he play with NJ starting tonight?

Thing is it wasn’t a cheapshot. He seems like a bit of a gentle giant. He’s not like Dougie or anything as he will will throw the body around often but he doesn’t have a mean streak in him

Well he can stay in the KHL for now in that case.

this was good. i could pick apart a couple minor plays, but i saw things i liked all over the ice

• took my hard to play against critique to heart, boarded the crap out of a guy in the 1st (and i dont think he really went that hard on him either lol)
• nice off zone play on the ensuing shift. took the puck down the right boards and cut to the middle for a decent shot attempt. confident possession. couple other pinches today (and an extended carry off an entry) that didnt really go anywhere but showed good willingness
• specifically liked his intent to follow up on a rebound opportunity late 1st. saw his teammate intercept the puck, recognized he had space in front of him, and booked it to the net. couldnt get a stick on the puck but he was right outside the crease for a chance. great idea/awareness here
• on the NKH goal he effectively ended up double covering a guy, but i dont think its on him. Fs were really light on the backcheck and let a streaking attacker shoot from the slot, and from silayev's pov i dont think he trusted that his partner was gonna cut off the backdoor opportunity in time
• defensive stick is always good but he was straight money with it today, clean contact on first poke attempts over and over
• also seemed extra sturdy/proactively physical. at least 5 separate instances of an attacker trying to challenge him and winding up on the ice. really steady/more contact focused outside the crease, too

we're still not at the execution/results stage yet, but this is the type of game you look at and start to think his projection could be greater than just defensive specialist
