Rust for sure, but I think it would help a lot too if he had more exposure with Ian Clark who often stresses upon quieting movements in goal to make simple saves. Not sure if Riga has a dedicated goalie coach and what they are asking of him. But for sure would be helpful if he got some more work in with Ian Clark, because he certainly has some untapped potential I think Silovs is right in the middle of making some adjustments to his game, so there could be some growing pains, as he builds his technique. From what I recall, he has a bit of a bad habit of using a very wide stance, which is OK for lower levels, as it takes away the bottom of the net, but it’s problematic as competition levels go up, both due to the room it leaves up high, and the limitations to mobility it creates. Actually, I just remembered while writing this post, there’s a section from a recent article (including a good quote from Woodley) that gets into the issue: Quote Silovs is an athletic freak who’s long legs allow him to make the bottom of the net virtually inaccessible for opposing shooters. An area for improvement in Silovs’ game is his low and wide stance, which leaves plenty of room up high and makes him look smaller in the net than his 6’4 203-pound frame would suggest. A big change Ian Clark made in Jacob Markstrom’s game in recent years was narrowing his stance, which has become a trend we’ve seen from multiple NHL goaltenders recently as they try to adapt to an ever-changing league. Kevin Woodley wrote about this phenomenon for NHL.com not too long ago. “In the simplest terms, narrowing the stance improves a goalie’s mobility by keeping his feet underneath him and giving him more leg extension with which to push. Conversely, if a goalie is already spread out too wide with his legs, there isn’t much extension left to make a powerful, controlled push, whether it’s left to right or up and down the crease,” Woodley wrote. When you take into account that Silovs has such a wide stance, it’s almost even more impressive just how quick he is at moving side to side and how explosive his lateral movements can be. Silovs has already begun the process of narrowing his stance, recognizing that he needs to make this adjustment in order to succeed at higher levels. https://canucksarmy.com/2020/11/06/canucks-prospect-report-goaltender-arturs-silovs/ Sounds like everyone involved is aware of the issue and it’s being worked through, just might take some time before Silovs fully adopts a new stance and gains the reps and muscle memory to make the technical adjustments really work for him.

I didn’t realize that Rick St. Croix is the goalie coach with the Moose. Good to hear that he’s been working with Silovs. St. Croix is a former NHL goalie coach and also has worked as an NHL assistant coach and in player development. He’s also run his own goalie school. That’s pretty high level coaching support for a goaltender in the AHL, which can only help Silovs during this loan to Manitoba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, was his first AHL start, so a pretty successful outing, although I’m sure he’d have preferred to get the win. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kootenay Gold Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I have a feeling that Silovs is going to be an NHL goalie in a few year esp. if he stays under the tutelage of Ian Clarke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must have one of the highest-ranked goalie systems. Demko, Mikey and Silov not too shabby. Boggles my mind how many teams fail in this area, forcing them to overpay on a UFA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Let's not forget Jake Kielly, either - undrafted, but signed right out of college. At 6'2" and 201 lbs, he's not a small goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Specter Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I hope Silovs enjoys the game from the bench. He has worked his way up the depth charts through such an unconventional year! Hopefully they change his Game-Issued jersey's namebar before the next game! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's going to be the new rookie prank. Make them play their first game with a misspelled name instead of just doing the lonely lap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
