Player Discussion Thatcher Demko

[SeawaterOnIce]

I think this probably confirms no Demko for game 6 on Saturday if he isn't joining the team practice yet

I could see there being more will and pressure to get Demko in on Saturday if Silovs totally implodes and allows 5-6 goals tonight.

Silovs has earned another outing based off his play last game though.

I could see there being more will and pressure to get Demko in on Saturday if Silovs totally implodes and allows 5-6 goals tonight.

Silovs has earned another outing based off his play last game though.

Reading some of Edmonton columnists and HF posters, they're convinced there are 'holes in Silovs' game that they haven't been able to exploit. Specifically, they claim that he lets out some juicy rebounds, that they just can't get to.

Head cheerleader Mark Spector even speculating that the Oilers are due for a breakout 6-1 game in this playoff series. Silovs simply isn't getting a ton of respect from his opponents. But maybe he can use that as motivation.

And at this juncture, who would you rather have in net going into a pivotal game #5....Arturs Silovs or Calvin Pickard?
