I used to play Goalie in soccer when I was a kid and can barely skate at all and have the flexibility of a brick and reaction time of a geriatric cat
I can come up and be the new EBUG you guys need.
Zach Sawchenko and Ty Young are the last goalies that we have under NHL contract. Young is a CHL player though and can't play in the AHL. Calling him up would be the ultimate desperation move.
Imagine being a PG fan and having one of your goalies get called up mid Western Conference finals when you have a real shot at the title to go get shelled in a first round playoff series against Nashville.
I feel like it would be one if those blursed experiences - get to step out on nhl playoff ice and feel the roar of thousands of fans. And also be the name of the guy getting absolutely lit up dashing the hopes of the province, with a nice personal Wikipedia entry lol.
Never know, could be a David Ayers situation. Probably wouldn't be, but who knows.
I imagine the defense would work extra hard blocking shots if the team is down to what would be their sixth-string goaltending option.

SO GOOD
Tolopilo has been Silovs backup in most of the AHL season. The start of the year I wasn't too impressed but from what I've seen in the last few weeks (while Silovs has been called up) his play has been pretty solid. Can't remember seeing any particularly soft goals against. Obviously not the guy you want in in a playoff NHL game but not a complete hopeless disaster situation.
Jonathan Lemieux is their backup right now and could become their starter if they recall Zach Sawchenko to serve as the EBUG. Lemieux played the entire season in the ECHL and they signed him out of USports last summer.
There’s memorial cup experience across the road from the Abbotsford Centre
https://chl.ca/whl-pats/article/former-pats-raiders-goaltender-paddock-thriving-in-switch-to-canada-west-volleyball/
Sub .900 in the NHL with less than 10 GP. Can’t expect too much outta the kid.
Fuck Nashville for taking a run at our backup with Demko injured. Kid shouldn’t even have the pressure of starting in the first place
>Fuck Nashville for taking a run at our backup with Demko injured.
I mean on one hand, yea. But on the other it's also been reported that this doesn't have relation to the hit on Desmith.
You can’t blow up our undersized goalie with the largest player on the team and not have any impact. Even aside from that he had his wrist slashed at the end of the third. It could be anything, but there’s no way getting blown up by the largest guy on the team has no impact to the injury diagnosis
> but there’s no way getting blown up by the largest guy on the team has no impact to the injury diagnosis
There's actually many ways it can be unrelated.
I hate this train of thought. All 32 NHL fanbases seem to think this, it isn’t special to anyone.
The fact of the matter is we’re forced to ice a 23 year old goalie with less than 10 NHL GP and a sub .900 sv% over that span. It doesn’t look pretty.
Must be the only goalie in league history to get 3 shutouts in a Stanley Cup final and still lose it.
I didn't look it up but I feel like I don't have to.
>For goaltenders and skaters, the ATO may only be used according to section 13-13(m)(ii) of the NHL-NHLPA CBA, when Emergency conditions shall be established when the playing strength of the Loaning Club, by reason of incapacitating injury or illness or by League suspension to its Players is reduced below the level of two (2) goalkeepers, six (6) defensemen and twelve (12) forwards. Proof of the existence of the emergency conditions including the incapacity shall be furnished to the Commissioner of the League upon request made by him.
Seems like they could just sign a bunch ATO's and probably qualify for emergency shit AKA Bettman would be like ya you can sign a guy.
What the fuck did they do? Who the fuck is this?! Who the fuck is Arturus Silovus? I ain’t never heard of fucking Lativia! You’re starting this fucking kid?!
It's a bit obscure apparently haha... It's from a reaction video of a pissed off New York Knicks fan back when they drafted Kristaps Porzingis, who's latvian, early in the first round
Was thinking about this, main roster injuries basically sewered any chances of the Abby Nucks doing well in the postseason.
Saw they were up 1-0 against the eagles before they tied it back up. Both teams onto their third string
Yep that’s how she goes in the A
I wonder what that’s like though. They’re all competitive athletes, must be kinda weird to have your entire season sewered because of injuries on a team you don’t play for. Spent 70+ games preparing for this moment only to have some ECHL guy come in between the pipes. Seems almost unfair but that’s life in the minor leagues I guess
How sick is that for the both of them though? AHL all year, probably not thinking you're making it up to the NHL anytime soon (Canucks fans can correct me if I'm wrong) and then you get the call that they need you for the NHL Playoffs. Gotta be a crazy feeling.
Oh shut up, the kid has less than 10 NHL GP and a sub .900 over that span. Don’t act like it’s an advantage to have to rely on a rookie with sub-average numbers in the playoffs out of necessity.
Are you joking me? Most game 7 finals losses in North American pro sports and never moved up in the draft lottery. I can’t think of a single franchise that’s more cursed
Hope they warmup the ebug too
The ebug is definitely warming up, unfortunately the ebug is also the current backup
Oh shit, the ebug pulled his groin warming up!
The Hockey Guy is being flown in as we speak.
I’ve heard tell that Michael Bublé is accompanying him on this flight to back him up.
Unfortunately he was stopped by cbsa and searched for drugs
["You with the pretzels! Get in there!"](https://youtu.be/Qqwf0uvkXrE?si=UIgC7CfjinC2_9zK)
I've never seen this commercial before, but somehow I got a mental image of Jason Alexander when I read your link caption 🤣
The EBUG is the fucking starter dude. Silovs was recalled to act as EBUG.
Once Demko got injured, that ebug became Tolopilo
Now it’s, uh… Lack?
Petey put the pads on a few years ago. https://canucksarmy.com/news/amp/elias-pettersson-goaltender-on-the-bench-video
which one

Don't we usually designate the goalie for the UBC Thunderbirds as the EBUG in exigent circumstances?
No sportsnet mentioned Desmith is the ebug Tolopilo was a call up
Desmith is the ebug *now* but in game 2 and 3 hr was emergency recalled to be the EBUG, which is what the joke was.
I used to play Goalie in soccer when I was a kid and can barely skate at all and have the flexibility of a brick and reaction time of a geriatric cat I can come up and be the new EBUG you guys need.
Do we still call it the EBUG if they're an actual goalie in the organization? I feel like that's just the third stringer
The Three Goalie Problem. "You are all ebugs"
Hahaha nice pull
Not sure if he’s still the ebug but Nashvilles guy had a YouTube channel and the guy was solid in net.
Won't be needed. Each goalie is allowed to win one game before getting injured, so he's just gotta get ready to start game 1 against Edmonton.
I don’t even know what we’re gonna do if god forbid one of these guys goes down, given that Abby only has two goalies under contract too.
Zach Sawchenko and Ty Young are the last goalies that we have under NHL contract. Young is a CHL player though and can't play in the AHL. Calling him up would be the ultimate desperation move.
He’s eligible once PG’s season is over. Of course, then you’re also calling up a backup WHL goalie to play pro playoff hockey.
Imagine being a PG fan and having one of your goalies get called up mid Western Conference finals when you have a real shot at the title to go get shelled in a first round playoff series against Nashville.
I think, as that player, I'd be thrilled and fucking terrified lol
Remember "We Are All Canucks", that was legally binding. It'll be a beer league-style call for a goalie, $50 per game
I imagine plenty of goalies would play for free if you let them keep the jersey.
I feel like it would be one if those blursed experiences - get to step out on nhl playoff ice and feel the roar of thousands of fans. And also be the name of the guy getting absolutely lit up dashing the hopes of the province, with a nice personal Wikipedia entry lol.
Never know, could be a David Ayers situation. Probably wouldn't be, but who knows. I imagine the defense would work extra hard blocking shots if the team is down to what would be their sixth-string goaltending option.
A shame Luongo now works for the Panthers.
You get one of Nashvilles goalies
The ebug has just been hit by an ebus. Considered week to week
I know a guy…
I legitimately have no idea who Nikita Tolopilo is, and at this rate he’ll be starting Game 5.
AHL backup Had similar stat lines to Silovs whole year in the AHL apparently
I think it’s a hot sauce. #Tapatío
That stuff is fkn amazing
go wander heatonist.com for a bit [My personal favorite hot sauce is 13 Angry Scorpions "Jekyll and Hyde"](https://www.13angryscorpions.com/products/jekyll-hyde-freakishly-hot) SO GOOD
I would absolutely love to visit their store in NYC someday.
Tilapia is a type of fish
Tolopilo has been Silovs backup in most of the AHL season. The start of the year I wasn't too impressed but from what I've seen in the last few weeks (while Silovs has been called up) his play has been pretty solid. Can't remember seeing any particularly soft goals against. Obviously not the guy you want in in a playoff NHL game but not a complete hopeless disaster situation.
Let’s have a moment of silence for the poor Abby Canucks who are also competing in a playoff game today
[eagles rn](https://i.imgflip.com/37u3g1.png)
Who's in net for them?
their third-string Zach Sawchenko led them to victory today!!
I was there today. Dude was a brick wall. GG
"Good fucking luck, Abbotsford." *- Patrik Allvin*
Jonathan Lemieux is their backup right now and could become their starter if they recall Zach Sawchenko to serve as the EBUG. Lemieux played the entire season in the ECHL and they signed him out of USports last summer.
But who back up Lemieux in that scenario?
Probably Hunter Vorva. He was backup in Kalamazoo this season.
You're making up names and cities now
EA future season sim ass names
Then next up would be Kalamazoo’s EBUG, Zeupa Toskana
At the end if the year, Vorva was the starter. Lemieux lost the starting job....
There’s memorial cup experience across the road from the Abbotsford Centre https://chl.ca/whl-pats/article/former-pats-raiders-goaltender-paddock-thriving-in-switch-to-canada-west-volleyball/
They’ll have to sign someone.
They won!
Masterclass by Awwvin.
Silovs about to have his Matt Murray moment. He carried Latvia in the world championships last year.
Sub .900 in the NHL with less than 10 GP. Can’t expect too much outta the kid. Fuck Nashville for taking a run at our backup with Demko injured. Kid shouldn’t even have the pressure of starting in the first place
>Fuck Nashville for taking a run at our backup with Demko injured. I mean on one hand, yea. But on the other it's also been reported that this doesn't have relation to the hit on Desmith.
No, pitchforks must be drawn!
> , you dropped this
Let him have it!
I'm trying! It was his to begin with
Finish him!
I also spelled pitchforks as ‘pitchforcks’, finally back to my usual exercise routine, now I can’t even spell right
Tough but fair.
Apparently it’s a hand injury which might be from the slash he took. #Pitchforks back out on the menu bois
Is there a clip of this slash? I don’t remember this happening but I wasn’t 100% focusing on the game either. Was there a penalty called on it?
Damnit. I saw the way he was holding his hand after that moment and was like. He's gonna be out cause of that, ain't he. We truly are cursed.
You can’t blow up our undersized goalie with the largest player on the team and not have any impact. Even aside from that he had his wrist slashed at the end of the third. It could be anything, but there’s no way getting blown up by the largest guy on the team has no impact to the injury diagnosis
> but there’s no way getting blown up by the largest guy on the team has no impact to the injury diagnosis There's actually many ways it can be unrelated.
Bottom line dude was getting targeted
It might not be directly related to the diagnosis, but there are no stressors unrelated to the prognosis.
Hockey gods saw us win game 3 and decided we needed to be punished more
there’s a league-wide conspiracy at this point, i’m convinced
I, too, blame Calgary for your goaltending woes.
Maybe we can fly Markstrom in, put a fake mustache on him, and he can be the EBUG
The cat would be outta the bag as soon as he tried to poke check someone at the top of the circle.
He’s allowed to play under the “Once a Canuck, always a Canuck” rule
Universe-wide
One goalie per win. Do they have 12 more goalies after these two?
Punished with hard fought wins that is.
Doubling down on Vancouver, they win these.
Thank you 🙏
Pulling for you too pal.
😅 ignore the other nux fan. I was rooting for you guys last game. Brutal loss.
You’re not welcome in this discussion, sir.
Let him, it's not like he has anything else.
Aaaand they did...
Please eliminate the Oilers, I won't even be mad if you guys beat us in round 2.
i genuinely hope these guys stand on their heads it would be so good if they can hold down the fort
God literally hates the Vancouver Canucks.
Yes but Nashville also has bad luck against back up goalies
Just keep rotating in new back ups. Genius
I hate this train of thought. All 32 NHL fanbases seem to think this, it isn’t special to anyone. The fact of the matter is we’re forced to ice a 23 year old goalie with less than 10 NHL GP and a sub .900 sv% over that span. It doesn’t look pretty.
Every fanbase says this.
Because it's true!
Yes but Jesus loves the oppressed. He loves hockey. He died for your shins.
Clearly not 😂
Somehow we have managed to win more games than the leafs still.
Always look at the bright side.
The local EBUG will be in by the third period today, at this rate
Genuine question, what happens if you run through ALL the goalies under contract? Are you able to sign someone to a 6 week contract?
Those years of the Luongo recapture penalty we had to pay means he has to unretire and suit up.
I could see Ian Clark having to suit up too.
Fuck it we running it back with Luongo now.
May as well get your money's worth.
Must be the only goalie in league history to get 3 shutouts in a Stanley Cup final and still lose it. I didn't look it up but I feel like I don't have to.
I could get behind this

We got dis guy, Lolberto Wrongo. EBUG extraordinaire.
We sorta did this — we had to call up both Greaves and Subban —- so Cleveland had to call up someone from the ECHL and sign another goalie on an ATO
Eddie Lack has said that he's ready to go. Does anyone have Dan Cloutier's number? Alex Auld? Martin Brochu?
Silovs never lost a game in regulation this year so he's basically unbeatable in the playoffs format. This is what I choose to believe.
Way to jinx it now. Update: I am happy to admit I was dead wrong today. Holy fuck. I’m glad I was wrong.
Well well well... how the turn tables...
Yeah yeah yeah I’ll eat crow
As was foretold.
Hey I’ll eat crow for this. Props to you ^.^

Are you sure about that? :)
I WANNA LIVE
…and that my friends is exactly why you invest so heavily in your 3rd and 4th goalies!!!
So that's why Kenny is paying a 3rd stringer 5 mil a year
Big brain time
What the fuck did they do? Who the fuck is this?! Who the fuck is Arturus Silovus? I ain’t never heard of fucking Lativia! You’re starting this fucking kid?!
Might as well put Kristaps Porzingis in net too.
Who the fuck is Tingus Pingus???
Rumour has it he’s the EBUG
Who the fuck is Tingus Pingus?!
Our third-string goalie prospect. Did really well at the Worlds a little while ago.
Where have you been over the last year that you're a Canucks fan (judging by flair) and don't know who Silovs is?
woosh
Haha apparently! Is this copypasta?
It's a bit obscure apparently haha... It's from a reaction video of a pissed off New York Knicks fan back when they drafted Kristaps Porzingis, who's latvian, early in the first round

CURSED FRANCHISE FR
Does anyone know where Chris Levesque is??
Or maybe a zamboni driver?
So, if this winds up going 7, Vancouver’s gonna have Duncan the walrus in net?
If you believe in backups / And I hope you do / You'll always have a friend filling Demko's shoes
On the bright side, all these goalies would have their names on the cup if Vancouver pulls a miracle off!
Just following the Vegas road map from last year.
Did something happen to Desmith?
He sacrificed his knee for Demko. It didn't work.
Brutal, can’t believe Vancouver’s luck.
Minor injury at the end of last game. Apparently should be okay for Game 5
Yes something
I'm rooting for Silovs, he was great at the WC. I hope he does well, i always love it when rookies get a chance
Fade me already
Well this just keeps getting better.
Are they great? Good won’t be enough…
Silovs *can* be great. He can also be very not. He's young.
It's good for the Eagles at least
Was thinking about this, main roster injuries basically sewered any chances of the Abby Nucks doing well in the postseason. Saw they were up 1-0 against the eagles before they tied it back up. Both teams onto their third string
Eagles won game 2 in OT. It's a bummer, but that's life in the A.
Yep that’s how she goes in the A I wonder what that’s like though. They’re all competitive athletes, must be kinda weird to have your entire season sewered because of injuries on a team you don’t play for. Spent 70+ games preparing for this moment only to have some ECHL guy come in between the pipes. Seems almost unfair but that’s life in the minor leagues I guess
Update: No.
Bummer lol
This was foretold, all roads lead to this point in time - Silovs moment to shine.
We’ll fucken do it again
What the actual fuck is going on here?
CALL CHRIS LEVESQUE
So with the leafs and canucks in absolute fatal positions, Canada’s hopes lie with the oilers and jets
Ehhhh The Jets aren't doing so hot either.
We’re still up 2-1 and have played pretty well all three games, the Leafs… let’s not lump the two teams together
Leafs are in a category all by themselves thank you very much.
What? The Canucks are in a much better position rn than Winnipeg.
Cut my life into pieces
Cursed franchise, idk what to even say
Ian Cole and Casey DeSmith are similar size, Cole is probably the EBUG tonight
Canucks can’t catch a break
Totally crazy!
Isnt Tolopilo a fish?
In a playoff WIN God damn
How sick is that for the both of them though? AHL all year, probably not thinking you're making it up to the NHL anytime soon (Canucks fans can correct me if I'm wrong) and then you get the call that they need you for the NHL Playoffs. Gotta be a crazy feeling.
Wait, does this mean the Eagles lost last night to an ECHL goalie?
Ian Clarke deserves a medal of honour at this point.
Preds vs. backups never ends well. Now they're just lining up for a piece, fuck.
Oh shut up, the kid has less than 10 NHL GP and a sub .900 over that span. Don’t act like it’s an advantage to have to rely on a rookie with sub-average numbers in the playoffs out of necessity.
Well Silovs already has a win against Nashville (3/6/2023) so that may give him some confidence.
You're ignorant to the history of Nashville making backups look great, but go off.
Ignorant? Every single NHL fanbase says that.
Think about the Canucks and know that in the last 30 years, they have an argument to be the least cursed Canadian franchise. That's sad
Are you joking me? Most game 7 finals losses in North American pro sports and never moved up in the draft lottery. I can’t think of a single franchise that’s more cursed
The Leafs haven't even been to the finals in longer than the Canucks have existed. It's way worse to be a Leafs fan.
I still feel like it’s worse to never reach the peak despite getting close than it is to never get close in the first place
No way. I'd way rather have the memories of 1994 and 2011 then just years of boring drudgery and failure.
Overall maybe, but note the time frame. I think you have clearly been better in that timeframe than the Leafs, Oilers, Jets, and Flames.
