Arturs Silovs has rocketed up the Vancouver Canucks' depth chart this post-season, going from third-string goalie to starter in pivotal elimination games.
“You just have to be always ready," Silovs said Sunday."A lot of things happen in life like accident, someone gets hurt, right? And you just have to be ready to embrace your moment.”
Getting called into action in the playoffs hasn't rattled him, though, said Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet. One of the rookie goalie's mid-game rituals embodies his calm demeanour: between periods, Silovs sits in his stall with an ice bag on his head to cool down. “I feel like especially playing at home, it was more like a pressure to because like people are hungry for hockey there," he said."We don't have like any major team who’s playing a full season. So I felt like this was the chance to show the people, to give something back. And I'm glad we managed to do it.”Tocchet ruled Demko out for Game 1 of Vancouver's second-round series on Sunday, but said the star goalie is improving.
