Oddly, Vitek played a great 3d period or we don’t get those 2 points tonight. I didn’t like either goal on him but that 3d period was the best and the most confident I’ve seen him all year.
I don’t really agree with this. He faced like 5 or 7 shots and I don’t think any were particularly dangerous. Maybe one when they had the goalie pulled?
The best I’ve seen him this year was the 1st period of the Boston game last weekend. And then the 2nd period happened and he did his usual implosion.
I see no reason to champion him over allowing 2 goals to a team that didn’t look at all threatening (probably because of how terrible their team is) all night. He shut them out for a period? That’s pretty much the equivalent of a shutout for him this year, since he only has a single game of even allowing just 1 goal against.
I still think his best game was the opener against Detroit.
