What about the Canucks. If Demko is healthy do they risk taking out a red hot Silovs for an untested Demko?I hope it's Skinner. We know he is awful, but Pickard could come in and stand on his head and steal a game.
If I'm the Canucks, I don't play Demko in game 4 unless he is 100% ready, and I don't think he is, or he would have played yesterday. I would let him sit to heal up some more, but if Edmonton wins game 4, I seriously consider starting Demko in game 5.What about the Canucks.

If I'm the Canucks I play Silvos till he loses, and Oilers play Pickard till he has a stinker game. But knowing the Oilers they'll go right back to Skinner.
I have to think the day that Demko is cleared to play he plays. Silovs is a nice story, but this series is 3-0 with Demko in net. You go with your superstar goalie the first chance you can.What about the Canucks. If Demko is healthy do they risk taking out a red hot Silovs for an untested Demko?

Ugh. I felt the same way last season about Game 3 or 4 vs vegas. It was clear that he wasn't up to the task but they kept going back to the skinner well.I think it will be Skinner unfortunately, I hope I am dead wrong though. I realize the Oilers do not have any other ideal options but the Oilers just need a goalie that can at least consistently make average, routine saves, I would hope even Pickard could do that. I don't expect all-world goaltending.
