Canucks President Confident in Goalie Situation

Title: Canucks' Goalie Situation: Confidence Abounds Despite Injuries

In an exclusive interview, Vancouver Canucks President Jim Rutherford expressed confidence in the team's goaltending situation despite injuries to Thatcher Demko and Arturs Silovs. Demko is recovering from a slower return to health than expected, while Silovs had to miss Olympic qualifiers due to knee inflammation. However, both goalies are working hard towards being ready for the start of the season, according to Rutherford. Last season, Demko finished second in Vezina Trophy voting with a 35-14-2 record and five shutouts. The Canucks' backup for the upcoming season is Silovs, who stepped up admirably during his relief role last year. Rutherford acknowledges that depth may be necessary, as injuries are common in the goalie position, but he remains confident in the team's ability to overcome these challenges and succeed this season.
