Status: offline 		Was surprised by a few things the other night
Maybe Evanson related
Galchenyuk the choice, Rask not
Stalock the starter, Dunbnyk the backup
Soucy in, Hunt in, Donato sparse
Greenway with some prime time
Spurg back to 1st PP unit
Just some random thoughts.

Loved Al Bundy.

Al and Red Foreman are two of my heroes.

Stalock made that game 3-0
NTG would have made it a 4-3 barnburner
I have zero doubt

Every time we scored, Vancouver came like demons at us
Stalock made a couple incredible saves on reactionary chances in close that Dubnyk would have just whiffed at and did the "gee they scored" thing.
Stalock was competing his ass off. Like a job was on the line.
He still shouldn't be our #1 goalie, but he was outstanding last night.
The boys play hard for him.


My thoughts exactly.
Stalock and Kaapo would be more effective duo to finish out than Dubes and ?.

Maybe some Covid desperate team will give up something for Dubes!

I don't think there are any teams that will take him off our hands. I suspect he's a buy out candidate, or he is ours for one more year.

Ouch. It's my fault. I started watching late so I didn't have to put up with all the opening crap.

4-3 final.
Fiala with 2 in the third. Kids a playah.
Knew Vancouver would push last night
Will be interesting to see what we answer with in Game 3.

Vancouvers 3rd and 4th lines drop off dramatically

That first shot was definitely a Duby Du-oh. I wouldn't even consider changing goalies as a result. Stalock will give up one of those every two or three games, while NTG will have at least one per game in the playoffs.

Stalock ain't the guy either, but he is closer to it than NTG,

We would get the 1st and 24th picks in what is being called a historically deep draft, heading into a year where we are finally adding Kaprizov to the lineup and Fiala looking like an emerging NHL star.

I have no problem with your scenario playing out Sweens. If nothing else it would give us some hope of more than the usual one and done playoff run.
