Team let him down man, the level Arturs rose to was something we rarely get to see. Bubble Demko was a thing, but he was already a backup. Arturs was third man up and was carrying the team like a vezina winner chasing his first cup.
I wonder how far he could of got if we closed out game 6 or woke up for more than 10 mins in game 7.

Bubble Demko was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. We had no rights to be in that series and he almost won it for us by himself.

I hope we keep this kid. He’ll be a great replacement for Demko when he blows his knee out this season for the 5th time.

He also played his best in Game 6 of the Nashville series as well. Not many kid has the calm and coolness to win a clinching game on the road with a shut out when the outcome is 1-0. This kid is a big game player.
I think if he can work and improve on his puck tracking, and improve on making saves from long range shots from the point, a little bit more consistency in the regular season, he will be a NHL starter sooner rather than later.

As great as Silovs was, I still can only dream about what could have been if Demko was healthy. All it would have taken is literally just one extra save (given all of those one-goal games) to have us get through the Oilers. We probably could have even closed out the series quick enough to have Boeser not get a blood clot, in which case a cup run isn’t out of the question.
Either way this isn’t shade on Silovs, he gave us everything we needed to win. We just couldn’t get it done. I’m excited to see his growth, and having a Demko/Silovs tandem for probably just over 6M next year is a very nice thing to have given recent goalie contracts.
