So, for most of Sunday night’s game between the and , there were two parallel narratives — one on the ice, one on social media. On the ice: How Vancouver was badly winning the goalie battle, rookie , playing exceptionally well . Silovs stopped 41 of 44 shots. He was the absolute difference maker in a 4-3 Vancouver win, which gave the Canucks a 2-1 series lead in the ’s Western Conference semifinal.
The Canucks acquired Zadorov just for these playoff moments — he understands that in playoff hockey, someone needs to play the role of the villain for Vancouver, because if no one does, then the McDavids and Leon Draisaitls will eventually make you pay. Zadorov can also be crafty about it. Presumably, he understood his blindside postgame cross-check to McDavid was just borderline enough to escape further NHL justice. So thinking strategically.
