Getting hit in the face with killorn’s shot? What’re the odds?

 

[RussianGuyovich]

The joke is he has a very bad shot

 

[Stormbreaker]

Another 2 points in the bank. Way to bounce back after last game! Vasy with another shutout too, leading the league (5).

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Great win.

 

[DaBolts]

I don't mind Killorn saving his goals, as long he saves 1.5 per game in the playoffs.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Good win, Vasy now leading the NHL in shutouts (5).

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Vasy with the shutout he was spectacular

 

[DaBolts]

I've got to watch the Torts presser. This will be another CLASSIC.

 

[JoVel]

I'd say that was a good way to start/end the year.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Fun game! Wish TJ could have gotten the hattie, but soooo happy for Vasy's shutout!!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Up to +51 in goal differential

 

[Stammertime91]

Torts post game

 

[Hint1k]

Vasy almost did it. It was a good game for him. He made several great saves, especially in the first half when Colambus was good enough, but it was not the whole game. The outcome became obvious somewhere in the middle of the second period.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Expecting something like this from Torts:

 

[TampaBayLightning]

what a nice way to start the new year!

Almost did what? He did get the shutout

It was a special comment for a couple of people. Who think that Vasy is some sort of superman in real live. And can win all alone any game. I asked them for proof. For at least one game. They failed to show it. So that is why this comment is here.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Vasy is Superman though

 

[The Macho King]

Missed game for a dinner party. Damn.

 

[These Are The Days]

Seems like whenever I have work during a game we kick the shit out of the opponent extra hard. Gotta say it's always nice to come home to.

It doesn’t matter if he is winning all by himself or not. He is making the saves that he has to make and he is winning. As long as he is doing that I don’t care if he’s doing it by himself or not. Actually would prefer that he isn’t doing it all himself. Very happy that we have the team around him that we do. Also very happy with Vasi too. He’s made a lot of key saves and sometimes that goes unnoticed in wins. Remember earlier last season he didn’t look good. Granted it was his first season as starter and the team around wasn’t as good but the play of Vasi is also greatly improved since then. He was coming along at the end of the season but now he is so much better all around. From positioning to his puck handling. Our team is really good right now but so is Vasi.

 

[MattM92]

Flashing back to all those people who doubted Vasilevskiy last year. I'm not right very often, but when I am it feels good.

 

[Stammertime91]

I definitely doubted his evil twin brother:

3GAA-ilevskiy

 

[Lightning1995]

Utter domination in the 2nd period. Against a good team on the road.

Impressive

Go Bolts!

 

[Brie]

Great game with a great result. Happy for Vasy and I’m glad to see that the TJ we’ve all missed seem to be back.

Now we have four games on the road against division opponents so we need to keep playing well.
