You can tell from the way he speaks that Tocch prefers Silovs. Team needs continuity in net too and Silovs style is more akin to Demko. They donāt have to adjust their game plan as much.
Goalies havenāt been the problem this series so far anyway. Every single one has out performed Sarros. The boys need to start connecting play and breaking out way better.

Is this bad news for DeSmith? Maybe his injury is more significant?

After his strong showing at the 2022 championships, Å ilovs rejoined the national team for the 2023 World Championship, which was jointly hosted by Latvia and Finland. Å ilovs relieved goaltender Ivars Punnenovs early in the team’s first game of the tournament, and thereafter started every game for Latvia, leading them on an unexpected deep run to the bronze medal game. There they defeated the heavily-favoured United States national team, winning the bronze medal, the first of any medals for Latvia at an IIHF World Championship.[7][8] Å ilovs played more than 60 minutes more than any other goaltender in the tournament.[7] In recognition of his pivotal role in the team’s success, he was named the championship’s best goaltender and most valuable player (MVP) by the IIHF directorate, as well as to the Media All-Star Team.[9] Following the historic result, the Latvian Saeima declared a public holiday.[10] Å ilovs later finished second in the voting for the inaugural IIHF Male Player of the Year award, behind Connor Bedard.

The Canucks have three playoff-caliber goalies. That is the dilemma that every team wants, and a dilemma that every team hates. No way they will be able to keep all three if they continue to play like this. Let’s all stick together until this run is done, but let’s also wish the very best for whichever one of these guys ends up departing for better playing opportunities.
Lock down that net tonight, Your Majesty!

Silovs is basically that ice pack on his head.

Iām not sure I buy that Silovs is a better choice than DeSmith. Silovs tends to be better than DeSmith against hard to save goals but also gives up some really soft goals. Our defense has some of the fewest high danger chances against in the league while letting our goalies get the easy ones so I think DeSmith fits a bit better

Honestly, my take is play Silovs until he has a bad game. Dude was very calm in game 4, and took the goals against him very well (and made 27 saves with a sick canucks team in front of him). Dude has history of managing pressure well. Not at all though throwing shade at DeSmith! DeSmith has been doing great. However, DeSmith was a little shakier than Silovs. He still got through it, but as a goalie, id go with the less shaky guy. Regardless, Canucks are lucky to have 3 great goalies in there roster. Goaltending will not be an issue this playoffs. The canucks as a whole just need to show up and give it everything they got! GO CANUCKS GO!

The honest truth is that having a healthy goaltender is infinitely preferable to an injured one, I think it’s the correct decision to play the healthy one when he looked perfectly fine.

Fun fact: only three times in history has a team had three goalies win a game each in a single series.
Once in 1917. Once under Crawford’s Canucks. And once now.

I think it’s the right call. Give DeSmith more time to rest and if we lose, go back to DeSmith in Nashville.
