Not sure if anything significant but looks like his confidence is gone, he actually started the 1st really well but then it waned. I think once he starts scoring the mojo will be back, that’s the hope.

Sloppy game. Like Ray said in the broadcast, this is a october game.
People need to f***ing chill on Silovs, the kid is just a prospect. He's going to have stinkers, he problably needs another year up and down in the AHL, but once again, he is being called on to preform over his level. No need to flame the guy he has 20 NHL games.

Lucky to get a point. Out-played for the most part and couldn't get anything like a key save.
Good
Boeser - was skating better than at almost any point in the past. Should have moved the puck over to Hronek in OT but was getting on the end of plays and causing turnovers in the Calgary end.
Miller - some sloppy passing and not totally up to speed but without him we've got nothing going on in this game.
Blueger - not always successful but had to carry his line and was good on the PK.
Bad
Forbet - Deharnais - couldn't, as predicted, move the puck. Both are so much worse than Zadorov. Lumber around their end chasing the play. Team must get a puck mover on the botton pairing (maybe Friedman - maybe McWard). You can get no overall continuity in your play with this pairing and team begins to breakdown. Just can't run good shifts consistently. They're out and we lose any forward momentum and end up spending most of the time trying to fight our way out of our end.
Aman - couldn't get the puck out of his end and zero offensively. Big cause in why his line got tied up in their end so much. Bad on the PK.
Ugly
Heinen - if they can get someone to play with MIller and Boeser could be a strong line. Outside of last year in Boston player has always been fringe. Did nothing in this game and was often behind the play. Missed some good set ups. Hated how he laughed about it. Don't want to see Bains in the line up but would prefer him over this player.
Pettersson - maybe needs to see a new 'shrink'. Looks exactly like he did most of last season. Looked very weak and confused so much of the night. Way too much game time.
Silovs - exposed badly up high again. Word is out on Silovs and team is likely cooked unless they get some good work out of Lankinen or Demko returns
Raty - can't skate well enough. Nuff said. Didn't think absence of Suter would be that profound.
Others
Hughes - a game well below the standard he has set. Defense, in general, was poor.
Hronek - poor on the OT winner
Hoglander - good first but faded after that.
Strong - made some good plays but out of sync with Pettersson. You like Strong on many shifts but you wonder if he contributed to the lack of cohesion in the Canuck play.
Team must do something with third defense pairing. Might be better with Friedman - Juulsen although such a pairing is probably is also very questionable. Heinen needs to move down the line up and rather see Sassons here than Raty.
Maybe good we see the warts early so maybe they can do something about them.

Sharks eat fish and they are older than dinosaurs. Dinosaurs just one-and-done in history.
Yeah I think once Demko comes back, he will be back in the A to work out the kinks. His weakness right now is way too easy to exploit which is a big problem. If his weakness is like moving across the crease then at least we can tighten up and stop that’s. His weakness right now is literally weak shots from the point.
I still think if Hoglander-Garland can work, that putting Joshua with Miller-Boeser after he’s back might be the right move

It's also a completely different scenario now then it was when he first came in. There were absolutely 0 expectations on him when he came in last year. Compared to now, where people are treating him like a veteran.
It's a completely different environment to play in.
Tocchet was saying before this game that he wanted to get Lankinen in frequently to start the season and see if either can grab the bulk of the starts. Even after this putrid game by Silovs, I figure the plan was always going to be Lankinen on Friday.
Yeah he needs time to develop and work on tracking pucks. He’s not ready for the role he has right now.

Perhaps but I wouldn't be worried about that pair until they put together a stretch of poor play.
Both guys were pretty consistently solid all of last season.

I think Hoglander was the teams best forward last night, advanced stats back that up for the most part. Seemed like one of the few forwards that were engaged and battling to make things happen. Hoglander had an xG of 1.05 5on5. The entire flames team had an xG of 1.43 5on5.

Yup. Demko had time to bake in the AHL before he was a backup here. Silovs needs a lot more AHL experience, but without Demko ready yet, he's going to have to learn under fire in the NHL. Thankfully, we have a vet in Lankinen to help with the load until Demko returns.
Watching in person and a few things were extremely obvious:
- Forbort Desharnais are unplayable. They looked absolutely dreadful against Calgary so I can’t imagine how we can put this out against legitimate teams
- Pettersson is not dialed in
- Sprong blew the zone like 1 out of every 4 shifts. Just straight up cherry picked
- Calgary was obviously exploiting the point shots. Every long shot had our entire section with our buttholes puckered
- Garland was good but didn’t look 100%
- Hoglander is insane along the wall but he doesn’t have consistency in his overall play
- Raty was… ok.
