Winnipeg proving that even if you have the best goalie in the world, that goalies are still a wildcard in the playoffs.
Same point as I made the other day:

Average goaltenders can:
  • keep you in a game
  • shit the bed

Star goaltenders can:
  • win you a game
  • keep you in a game
  • shit the bed
Just because you are a star goalie, it doesn't make you any less prone to have really terrible runs. Luongo.

Atleast silovs is much larger than cds, and surprisingly tolopilo is older and even larger at 6'6".

Lets hope this is not a repeat of Mikey DiPietro's first NHL game. I remember feeling kind of excited and curious to see him in NHL action after his strong performance at the WJC. And it was a nightmare start.

I know this isn't Silovs' first NHL game, but it is definitely his biggest, and his first playoff start. And it feels similarly rushed to have him be called upon.

Just saw on Reddit that Silovs has a statue of him in Latvia. He's primed for a cinderella story.

Still think it’s dumb we gave up on Dipietro so early. Has good numbers in the AHL right now for Providence, while we’re basically left with the remains of a fourth round pick after trading Studnicka.
