After a tough 5-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, Vancouver Canucks coach Rick Tocchet discussed his team’s lapses. He pointed out goaltender Arturs Silovs’ struggles, particularly in the first period, where he allowed four goals.
Tocchet said Silovs was “struggling” and needed to “battle” more in net. He also mentioned that Silovs needed to improve his positioning.
“He's struggling, he's gotta battle," Tocchet said. "He's got to get bigger in the net and battle, that's the NHL. It is what it is. He’s got to work tomorrow and get his game.”
Tocchet also noted that Silovs' body language showed a lack of confidence, which was affecting his performance. He explained that the goals allowed reflected a deeper issue.
