Losing Demko sucks a lot. But we are going to have to deal with it. I don't think Silvos is the answer and he will probably have to wait for a bad game out of DeSmith to see some action. He had a crappy 1st goal but what can you do. He could have also played the 2nd goal better but even then.
This isn't the time to come up with excuses it's time to come up with solutions.
Last night was a hard game to watch. So many blocked shots ( Give Nashville a lot of credit they did a great job ) Too many extra pass's and missed nets. Petey needs to shoot the damn puck! and Hit the damn net! .
On to the next game. No need to panic yet. It's a 1-1 series and I said from the start that this was going to be closer than most people thought. Just gotta keep the pressure on and play our game.
I don't think we need Demko to win this series but imo we need to start Silovs game two. CDS or Silovs have a team in front of them that has been excellent defensively for months now and have allowed almost nothing through two games and to see 3 very stoppable pucks go in on 13 shots and on the first shot is unacceptable.
The entire forward group looks off and I wonder how many are dealing with what Myers is dealing with because even Quinn looks like he's skating in mud , they just look off.
That being said it's clear they play scared to make a mistake with CDS and make the safe play every single time.
The reason I start Silovs is if CDS shits the bed again then your throwing Silovs in down 2-1 and basically the season on the line.
No need for panic yet as bad as we played a few bounces and a save and we're up 2-0.
It's also time to load up the top six, Nashville has a top line and not much else, unite the best third line in hockey and unite the lotto line and put Hogz with Lindholm and Mikheyev or Podz.
