Yes, I have acknowledged this as his biggest weakness. He does have a lot of physical tools though, very athletic. He hasn't been in the league all that long, we don't know if he can fix that or not. I do think he's working from a deficit however.
Chris Osgood had the same problem until the Wings fixed it. He became a beast after that. The thing is I don't know if the Canucks have the talent to be able to apply this fix.

Can't recall a game this year where the Canuck blueline has backed in and let another team gain their blueline with ease.....I guess the forwards must be AWOL on the backcheck.

That looked like Derian Hatcher dragging down Debrusk in the 90s on that one and no penalty yet a subtle interference by Myers along the side boards is a penalty

It's not really about that though. He has to put the work in and fix his own tracking, nobody else can do it. Besides working him in all the usual hand-eye stuff and trying to get him into as many game-simulating drills as possible, the team can't really do too much,

Torenius worked well with Shesterkin before, even without Clark the coaching isn't an issue IMO especially as Clark has become more and more out of touch with the NHL game.

What the team can actually do to develop SIlovs is to play good defence in front of him. That will give him time to get used to the NHL game and having to adjust game to game to different teams instead of seeing the same guys over and over until the series is over.

This is a team that's supposed to be defence first, it's pathetic that they keep performing like this and even more pathetic that they're too lazy to show up in front of a rookie goalie. AND that they keep not showing up when he starts.

Nothing more frustrating than ticky tack calls that dont directly effect scoring chances than missing the ones that do

Soucy Brannstom and Juulsen cannot make good plays going forward and Myers often looks glacial in these back to backs

Boeser better wake up soon. Ok to have a little grace period but good grief he looks slow

Pettersson had a good 7 game run then kinda just ?

Would be good to get Boeser some time with him and see if it sparks anything
