whew!

 

[DFC]

We basically took the end of the game off.

 

[dechire]

Vasy for Vezina tbqh. What a ****ing performance.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

That was a shockingly perfect tableau of the first half of this season.

Boring, frustrating, underachieving...ultimately, could have been much, much worse, though.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Thank you Vasi for playing 60 min while the rest of the team stopped at 20.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Congrats Vasy! THat's a shutout well earned and 2 points thanks to you.

Made momma and pappa Vasy proud

 

[Brie]

Oh come on.

Not that I'm sure we deserves that but oh well, Vasy deserved this shutout.

 

[Bolts265]

Was that Vasi or god in net?

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Look ma, No Goals

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

That's all for the month of January. 9-2-0

 

[berlin]

Move his parents to Tampa now!

 

[Stammertime91]

At least Vasy showed up tonight. Can't believe we could only get one goal by them. Bernier was good but tampa just dropped their effort after the 1st. I can't believe this is the same team as last year...

 

[These Are The Days]

Edit: Ah screw it I'm not even gonna get started.


I'm just glad we won

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

New mask did the trick tonight

 

[dechire]

Credit to Bernier for a solid performance but the rest of the Leafs were crap and they still managed to outplay the Lightning

 

[Brie]

I want send an apology to Vasy for any doubt I had about him before this game, he made me eat my words which I'm more than happy to do.

Thats funny i had no idea a safety pin was considered good luck.

 

[Hoek]

What an annoying game. Happy for Vasi though.

 

[The Macho King]

Gosh Vasilevskiy totally isn't ready for the NHL!!!!

 

[berlin]

holy crap Engblom head looks huge right now.

 

[Brie]

That made me smile, there was no one else that could have gotten it.

I really admire that kid and his attitude, I mean he just always wants to get better, will he always play great, no, but he is always willing to work for it. He didn't come to the NHL expecting a starting job, instead he even said that he wanted to play in the AHL to learn the game. I also love that both Vasy and Bish are the type of goalies that like always smile and if they have a bad game they are really good at shaking it of and regroup fr their next game.

I feel like I've been obnoxiously defensive of him lately but man a game like tonight just shows what a superstar he has the potential to be in a couple of years. Makes me feel pretty good about the future.

 

[The Gongshow]

Game shouldn't have been this close

 

[The Macho King]

This. Remember his age - allow him his growing pains. The talent is there.

Also - wow these refs were garbage tonight. I mean - the last thing we need is more PPs considering how bad they are, but ****.

Engblom said before the game it has to do with Russian superstition
