Hedman had a concussion for the Columbus series, and then he injured his knee last season and hasn’t looked the same since.
"Stopped the bleeding"
Think he's talking about the one where he went down awkwardly iirc. Not the 2019 sweep series. That was the concussion one, right?
If “flip the switch” is real (and I don’t want to discuss the validity of that) then it’s most applicable to vasy. Goalies are a large percentage a mental game, and focus is paramount. I trust that vasy can step up.
Ah yes. You are correct.
Yeah, he was noticeably worse defensively last year as well, but this year...he looks awful. I hope it's a lingering injury thing and not this level of decline already. He just turned 32, so he should have a few prime years left you would think.
No doubt it’s a low bar but we’ve gone from what coop had labeled embarrassing to this being an actually competitive game, of course with not all of Torontos players in the lineup. But like what they did in that three game span against NY, Carolina, and Washington, you had to start somewhere which was the Boston game, which was not great, but a start
He had the injury vs Philly in the last seeding game during the bubble, then the knee injury vs Columbus in a reg season game in either '21 or last year. It's that injury that must've done something, as he hasn't looked the same since that injury.
No. Cooper said he would get the last games. Expect him to play.
