Via Drance:

The addition of Kevin Lankinen was a timely one for the Canucks. And it’s provided significant returns in the early going, especially as Artūrs Šilovs has battled through some early season inconsistency in his two season-opening starts.

In his three starts this season, Lankinen has managed a preposterous .970 save percentage at five-on-five. He currently ranks fifth among all NHL goaltenders in goals saved above average, according to Natural Stat Trick. Only Jake Oettinger, Connor Hellebuyck, Filip Gustavsson and Lukas Dostal rank higher by this metric.

Lankinen has performed at a high enough level that the Canucks, having rotated starts between their two netminders through the first four games, broke that rotation and started the veteran for a second consecutive contest on Saturday night in Philadelphia. And Lankinen responded with a shutout performance.

So has the club reached the point where it may roll with the hot hand in net?

“Oh yeah,” Tocchet said after Saturday night’s victory in Philadelphia. “I mean, listen, we have good goaltending here and it’s still early. He’s put three good games together. Even when we were running around a little bit he looked big in his net, he wasn’t flip-flopping, he was just really steady.

“It was a huge acquisition by Patrik (Allvin), to grab him out of nowhere. It’s huge. He played two exhibition games and three games right now and I don’t think he’s had a bad start.”

Don't think Silovs will get a game for a bit if Lankinen can keep it up.

Well I feel suitably terrible for piling on Myers all these years after that Ian article ... had no idea about his son.

Let's go chaos giraffe!

Poor Podz. Feel bad for the kid. By christmas he won't be with the oil. Might not even be in the NHL. Just looking at his stats, specifically games played and TOI. Since the 21-22 season his NHL games played and time on ice has dwindled significantly.

He sure seems like a player destined to play in the KHL.

Yeah I was somewhat disappointed to lose him, but I watched an oilers game and it's the exact same thing. He gets close but no cigar.

He scored some nice goals for us and I liked his work ethic and physicality, but at the end of the day you need to be able to get in the right spot and finish in the nhl ... and unfortunately he's always missing the former or latter.

Yup. I think Drance is putting out articles with interviews on RT and Petey.

He said RT was going with Lankinen as #1 for now. He also said Petey bristled at questions about his play. He seems to take the wave of emotion to heart.

Guess he’ll have to adjust to the noise and focus. So as to put out the expectation and pressure and get his A game going.
