“I’d rather they have the juice on the ice, instead of just going for a morning skate. And while many players are often creatures of habits on game day and like to take a morning twirl — especially goaltenders — their new coach wants them to keep the gas in the tank. Lazar also left the game with a lower-body injury and it’s not expect to be a long-term ailment. “It was a good moment for me,” said Kuzmenko. In the second period, he stickhandled backward toward the net, spun and rang a shot off the crossbar before Garland deposited the rebound to cut the deficit to 4-3. “They’re more skill-based and are more patient and have better timing,” added Silovs. Miller, Conor Garland and Lazar had the other goals: Jacob Markstrom had suffered stiffness in his previous start and Thatcher Demko was nursing a knee injury.

Putting a young goalie who found his groove in the minors, and asking him to play behind this Canucks defence? That's a huge ask. You're entering that game ...

The fact he was able to pull that puck in close and get the shot off so quickly and so high? He goes hard and fast to the net and gives a slow team a semblance of speed at times. I’m worried Tocchet sees that and grumbles that Kuzmenko didn’t jump in and help fight for the puck, even though Kuzmenko is an offensive-oriented player. Kuzmenkshow is one of those players who has the high IQ and skill set to make pinches and pick off passes. Well, we’ve seen that kind of hockey played to its highest level with the Sedins! I’m sorry, but if Kuzmenko scores that goal in down low like that, it’s easily a top three goal of the year for the Canucks. Lord Byng, because it’s the worst of the high schools, and everybody knows this. Defence is more of a theory in Vancouver, and less of a carried-out function. This is the kind of goal that Rick Tocchet dreams about. It’s the only way to explain why the Canucks constantly leave a guy open and are always double-teaming people or making high-risk plays to cut off potential low-risk situations. Outside of that vacuum and under the harsh glare of reality, you do wonder about the decision. Replacing a struggling goalie with a young guy in the organization?

The level of goaltending this club has played in front of hasn't so much let this team down as it has turned the lights on.

It’s an instructive case to bear in mind, particularly as it pertains to the recent struggles of Martin and Delia. Or when turnovers like the one that led to [Artemi Panarin](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/artemi-panarin-zfBFZ3wm0mBRLAaP/)’s 2-1 goal are as common as Blundstones on Main Street in February? After a run of losses in which the run support was non-existent, Halak struggled in the middle of his one Canucks season. In February he failed to make it out of the second period in two consecutive starts, causing the club to give up on him. Despite what the numbers suggest, despite biting for a Zibanejad fake or losing a [K’Andre Miller](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/kandre-miller-rPkKZVLx06xNOMmH/) point blast in traffic, the way Silovs battled and held up against the Rangers offensive attack wasn’t a setback — far from it. Aside from one oft-cited game in Denver last season, that’s been beyond this group for years now, even if the goaltending excellence this club has customarily enjoyed has occasionally obscured that fact. The club couldn’t find a taker for him — despite their best efforts — at the 2022 NHL trade deadline. One year later, however, after a change of scenery as an unrestricted free agent, Halak is exceedingly reliable. “At this level you have to be really patient because these guys can do a lot of stuff and score some really creative goals.” There’s an old draft-floor tale among Canucks front office hands, which contends that as every Canucks draft pick approached from the third round on, someone at the table got a text from Clark beseeching them to select Silovs. Silovs was circumspect about the result. The Rangers sniper slid the puck past Silovs.
