The game silovs should have played is against SJ. This is just a plain mistake by the goalie coach or whoever thought he was ready to play this game. Just pull him already
It was probably worth it to play him against a decent opponent to see what we've got. Now I think we'll be on the lookout for waiver claims or calling up one of the Abbotsford guys.

Entire team sucks right now.

Defense and Silovs blow. Forecheck is weak an ineffective, terrible coverage through the neutral zone, soft and slow around the net.

Unwatchable at the moment.

Need the first responders on the ice to check for a pulse.

I'm a fan of Bains but there's no way he should look like one of our fastest skaters.

If JR was GM I could see a minor trade to shake the room.

Been a while since I whipped out this bad boy...

Only difference now is, I can do that in real life - bought a bottle of Wyborowa vodka yesterday, at a friend's recommendation. These bastards only come in 1.14L bottles, good lord...

I'm not going to sit here and pretend the sky is falling because I don't think it is. I will say this though, management really dropped the ball this off season. The only moves working out are a bottom 6 winger and a backup goalie.

Demko's chronic injuries have ruined this core's chances at a Cup. Last season was the chance.
I don't think we had any chance of winning the Cup last season with Hughes playing injured and Pettersson struggling.

But we absolutely could've knocked out Edmonton in the second round, and maybe, just maybe, Draisaitl gets fed up and doesn't want to re-sign.

That would've been back-to-back second round losses for the Oilers.

Don't remember seeing this type of effort and play ALL of last year. This type of play has been consistent this year but Lankinen has been bailing us out. The 4-1-3 record was extremely flattering but this can't continue or we will start dropping a lot of games.

The Abbotsford guys wouldn't be an improvement. You could do it to give Silovs starts in the AHL, I guess. But I don't think either of those guys would be any more startable behind Lankinen. You just have to ride the wheels off Lankinen until Demko is back.

K...i missed some of the game, but shouldn't they have scored some goals by now or something? What happened here? Seems bad.

The majority of AHL goalies could probably do better than what Silovs has done so far this year, by default.

Was watching the world series I am sure its not entirely his fault, but could Rick not have lankinen play one more game until we get sharks or ducks next.
