Now Pac gets tackled from behind on a power move to the net, but no penalty. Uh-huh?

This 3rd string goalie is playing really well. Not even the saves. He's not giving anything up whatsoever. Keeping the play completely under control.

Kind of makes you wonder if it's just a Lightning/backup kind of thing. I mean, the guy backs up Lindback. He can't be this good all the time.

Refs are doing us a favour.

Hard to say if the Yotes wanted to compete "for real" until they found themselves unexpectedly in the race. There's no reason to acquire Lindback in the first place.

Well, he's supposed to be a ticket for a sure-fire top 10 draft pick...

I swear JT Brown's motor never stops.

He's the Lightning's energizer bunny

Tampa is doing that thjing again when they are trying to hold on for dear life and forcing Bish/Vasy to save their behinds. Need to work on that mentality even if it works this time as well because it won't always.

Hey, hey man, it's crazy man, it's crazy. Just keeps going and going, man.

 

[DFC]

This kid has seriously good rebound control.

In Soviet Russia, puck saves Vasya?

Every team in the league does this when holding onto leads. Ever notice how, when we're behind, we tend to put a lot of pressure on? It's because teams go into defensive shells to protect leads.

Not talking about Vasy. Can't spell the other kid's name. But he gloves everything. Barely uses his pads.

 

[berlin]

BIG 2 points!!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Another win! Keep on streakin'.

 

[Brie]

We win, but it was way closer than I felt comfortable with, but they held on and that's good, risky but good.

 

[ThunderAlleyNomad]

Whew!

That was exciting.

Ohhh, sorry man. Yeah, Domingue isn't bad on rebound control, I owned him in a dynasty league at one point, a while back. He was doing very well until recently but what I remember from watching some Yotes games earlier in the season was that his reb control was erratic, depending on the game. Good and then it'd suddenly be below average. Pretty clearly more of a focus issue.

 

[DFC]

Even with the late game sweat, that was one of the easiest wins of the year.

 

[Brie]

And with Detroit winning as well it made these 2 points even more important.

 

[Steazy Doo]

I thought Stamkos and Callahan were probably our best players tonight.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

GG Arizona, GG. Domingue is going to be a smart and good goalie.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Lo and behold. The Wings have gone to overtime.

detrOiT Red Wings, eh?

Domingue is inconsistent, but really good when he is on. He had a pretty fair stretch of like .950+ save percentage I think. But he also had a fair stretch of like 4-5 GAA, and like 2 out of 3 games where he let in a goal from center ice.

Good post too. My thoughts exactly.
