GDT: WCSF GM07 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Mon. May 20th | 6pm PST | SNP/CBC | Just Win, Baby

Why do they keep saying Silovs is their #3?

If that was the case, why hasn't Desmith been playing?

Just love that storyline

You probably haven’t watch the Canucks at all this year.
Silovs is the #3, it’s a fact

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Really hope we get a great game! Lets go!

 

[Skolman]

Because…he is…?

Is he? What's wrong with Desmith?

 

[TheYardMachine]

The only story i wanna see is Dallas / Canucks in the WCF with an epic comeback from Kessel with the Nucks

 

[Team_Spirit]

Please show up Canucks last game was 1 sided

 

[Rowlet]

Is he? What's wrong with Desmith?

Hand injury g3 vs Nashville, he's backing up Silovs but probably not well enough to start.

 

[BMOK33]

ESPN bout to make some serious enemies...

 

[Skolman]

They've been cheering Oilers. Here in Kelowna, I'm seeing Canucks and Oilers car flags around fairly equally and this town is full of ex-pat Albertans.


deSmith took over starter duties when Demko went down after the ASG, while Silovs backed up. Silovs got into a couple of games, but it was deSmith's net.

Tocchet didn't like something he saw from deSmith in Game 3 vs the Predators, so he went to Silovs. Silovs *is* the #3, it is just that Tocchet has no confidence in their #2.

So, basically what you're saying is Silovs is the current #2 on their depth chart.

Things are allowed to change as the season goes on

This basketball game better not go to OT

This basketball game better not go to OT

I imagine they'll just begin on ESPN2

DeSmith got injured g3 vs Nashville which is where Silovs took over

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Puck at the net should be Vancouvers only worry

20+ shots and they win. Skinner will crack

 

[Dust]

As long as Canucks beat the Oilers today, thats good enough for me. No Boeser for the rest of the playoffs and no Demko and injured Hughes and sleepy petey, we have gone as far as we possibly can. Just win one more game and i will be in cloud 9


Edmonton was one vegas regulation win in regular season away from a 1st round exit. They are very lucky to face LA a 3rd time.

You should know by now, everyone is hurting, what is this terrible excuse of a Hughes injury. Get outta here with that nonsense at this stage of the playoffs.

And we'll never know but I think Edmonton beats Vegas in round 1. Vegas wasn't the same team this year, they just caught Dallas off guard the first couple games.

Desmith continuing to not be 100% could also be a factor. Not a tough concept.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Finally! Why's this game starting so late? People have work tomorrow. 9pm is ridiculous

 

[Skolman]

Yes, I'm sure.

 

[Canucks LB]

I wish Bob cole was around to call this game. Would be absolutely perfect

 

[Hammer79]

Hand injury g3 vs Nashville, he's backing up Silovs but probably not well enough to start.

No, they said he was healthy and available for Game 6 vs Nashville. His sitting due to a coach's decision.

 

[cotillion]

lets go canuckles

They should have taken an afternoon nap for 4 hours.

 

[Czechboy]

Because there was an east coast game... Wait, nope.

Because the NHL is stupid.

It's starting early in Vancouver

 

[Fishy McScales]

Eric Desjardins?!
