Scientists will tell you that there is no such thing as “The Clutch Gene”, but I present to you an athlete that has the ability to take his game to remarkable heights when the stakes are highest. His name is Arturs Silovs, and he is the Vancouver Canucks’ third string goaltender! He has carried them to the second round against the two best players in the world, how far can he possibly go?

Latvian hockey history highlights in short here with some Latvian commentators from Men's World Championships – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uvq_RLPuuY
What a great video- history, facts, fun, humility, excitement- it’s all there! As a lifelong hockey player born of Latvian parents in the US, your narrative was riviting and gave me goosebumps and proud for 🇱🇻. I’m a Ranger fan and hoping (beyond hope) to see Šilovs vs Shesty in the Cup finals!
Loved your video, thank you for posting! Subscribed! 😽
Silovs probably isn't going back to the AHL
It is strange you forgot Artūrs Irbe…
I love how latvia loves our sport as much as we do
w vid
5:52 you forgot the brick wall Artūrs Irbe, amongst the legends. Zemgus Girgensons still is a thing, not talking about new ones Kristiāns Rubīns Rūdolfs Balcers. There are more that even I can't name, so no hard feelings.
yess, please, make that video.
Forgot to mention Arturs Irbe. Both names are Arturs and both are goalies, coincidence 🤔
Finally you covered him
Silov's <3
Would love a history video! This is well made. Subscribed
Big respect from Latvia, all the stuff you said about my country is totally true and I'm surprised about the research of our hockey history. Great job!
P.S. I must say that the statue of Šilovs was temporary for the summer, but I sure hope he will bring the Cup to Vancouver AND another medal for Latvia one day so we will build a permanent one. 🤞
+1
meanwhile Casey DeSmith is watching his world fall apart.
Thanks for this great video. Silovs is MVP 😉
Minor correction – he didn't steal the net from Elvis in the world's, Elvis didn't join team Latvia that year. Interestingly enough, Latvia won Bronze against the US. Who was in the net for the US? His current teammate Casey DeSmith.
Canucks have 2 latvians in their team, so pretty much Canucks for now are latvian team as well.
This team has been blessed with amazing goalies the past 15 years or so….Luongo,Schneider,Markstrom,Demko, and likely now Silovs.
Do not forget another one great Latvian NHL player – goalie Artūrs Irbe 😉
Śilovs has been playing great, but we have yet to see how he bounces back from a bad night. He's been fantastic, but there are still questions… as he hasn't had a bad game… yet. It'll happen and when it does, we'll see what he's made of.
Great info! I love watching that kid play and a Latvia hockey history doc sounds cool 👍
…….and Arturs Irbe.
Artūrs Šilovs
That Latvia Bronze run definitely played a big part in Silovs confidence and progression.
Love it
God I hope so.
As both a Latvian and a Canucks fan I couldn't be more proud of the dude.
sad we dont have our brick wall this season iihf 2024 latvia :((
NOT SEA LOVES , ŠILOVS(SHILOVS)! KROPLI
We need a video about Latvian hockey history ❤
my coch was Arturs silovs old coch fr.
Uhh Sergei Zholtok is dead too bud! R.I.P. 🪦
as an oilers fan i actually fear this game 7 because hes in net he has been damn near stnading on his head the whole series game 6 wasnt his best but the rest of the games he was really good
Video on Latvia to soviet union ice hockey would be cool
FYI hes not "Silovs", hes "Shilovs". H got lost due to in Latvian "sh" is written as a single letter š
Latvia mentioned RAAAAAHH, fyi the correct way to pronounce his surname is shilov.
What an amazing young goalie with a bright future
Canucks should trade Demko, free up that cash and get some faster skating offensive players on the roster and they'll be a more complete team. Shilovs to me can become a very very good starter in this league.
Saw someone calling Silovs Demko’s Heir Apparent and I couldn’t agree more. He took ostensibly the best offensive team in the league to 7 games, some of the best development a goalie could ask for.
im simple Latvian man . I see Silovs , i press like .
