That would explain why Silovs starts, not why Tolopilo would be the back-up while DeSmith is healthy-scratched.

Holy shit 9am?! Where yat?? Super far away, must be Chilliwack or something like that!
You think that a team would scratch the guy they started in Game 3, who played great and was the 1st star in that game, who Tocchet clearly trusts, and pull him aside and tell him that the team is inventing an injury and they're not only not starting him, they're putting Tolopilo in as the backup?
Take off the tinfoil hat, man.

I'll travel to the end of your prick tonight.
I heard Casey DeSmith's ex from college came back for revenge and beat the crap out of him so he is still ailing.
I love in that video of them walking down the hall they all have different crazy reactions. Myers intense yell, Garland jumping all around, Lindgren uncontrollable smiles, Miller basically in tears..
love it all
Yes well then why would the Canucks rush DeSmith in immediately after he was hurt enough to not be available as the backup when the goalie he is replacing just had a terrific game himself? I should have phrased that better; I don't think he is all that hurt. If they play Silovs tonight and they win I don't think you see DeSmith again unless Silovs really has a stinker.

Damn, now I am not sure if this is going to be a long night for me, or an early morning...

He clearly has a minor hand injury that would probably be a 7-10 day thing in the regular season and they're taking day-by-day in the playoffs.
Unless Silovs goes nuclear, DeSmith will be back in net as soon as he's ready to go.

I’ll be at work for this one, I’ll listen to the radio for game 5.
Please close this out.

In all fairness my only negligible hope - of waking up at 5am - as someone who is as far from morning person as possible is well timed bladder alarm. Or an explosion near our house. Altho, could easily sleep thru the latter.

If Silovs can pull this off and go on a run he'll become a legend in Vancouver.

I'll get his name tattooed on my groin if he wins us a cup.

Tocchet & Staff: How you feeling today, Casey? Being the veteran, you would of course be getting the start if you're healthy.
DeSmith: I feel great! 100%! Ready to go tonight!
Tocchet & Staff: Oh? Not feeling well again? Alright I guess we'll have to go with Silovs. It's not an easy decision to make but if you're not well we can't put you in.
DeSmith: ... what? No I just said I'm healthy and feel good, I'm ready to start the game tonight...
Tocchet & Staff: You don't have to apologize Casey, we understand. If you were healthy we'd of course go with you but we simply can not put you in that position.
DeSmith: You're not listening. I'm good, the doctor cleared me.
Tocchet & Staff: That doctor has been fired. We'll check back with you next game and hopefully you feel better then!

I suspect he had the flu possibly. Dhaliwal said he's feeling better but not sure if he backups. Just the wording but who knows.

Can you imagine if Demko returns?

The right choice if you aren't going to play him. Guy is young and needs to be playing these types of games.

Wasn't it reported that DeSmith has a lower body injury? Thought I read that somewhere over the last couple days.
I guess the hand does hang below the waist, but seems like a stretch. Regardless, no reason for Tocchet to tell Nashville who they will be shooting at before he has to. I'd prefer Silovs but not a huge difference either way.
Don't love the Podz decision. Guess it's better than him just sitting at this point of his career, but I like regularly rotating bottom of the lineup guys in the playoffs. Love to see what he would bring to a series like this, but alas Tocchet has said he doesn't think "shuffling the deck chairs" makes sense right now.
In OT (I know it was basically just one shift) but that was one of the few times we looked like us in the OZ so far this series. How many times have we tried to reset the puck, or switch sides with it, to just have the puck easily intercepted by a Pred? Like just right on their blade. Going to need to play with some urgency tonight.
We've been the better team at times, but haven't really seem the waves of puck possession we saw regularly prior to the ASB. Bought time to refind that part of our identity.

I understand Pod going down if he wont play but I honestly think we’re missing out on seeing him hit a playoff gear

It will be the most dramatic return ever.
Yeah, I will always remember a 21 year old Jannik Hansen getting his first taste of NHL action in the playoffs and looking superb.
