[Meuracas]

Jazz and Funky with their best Vasy impersonation

Hahahaha I knew Google Translate was wrong. How do you say "Big Cat" in Russian?

Drop the 'a.' «кота» is a different case of the word that usually denotes possession.

He could use the time off.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

He could use the time off.

Fredward andersen is hurt

 

[Stormbreaker]

He could use the time off.

That's what I was hoping for.

 

[DFC]

So does this mean no MTL players in the ASG?

Correct.

 

[Hoek]

He could use the time off.

Lightning have the whole week off before the All Star Game and then 3 more days off until their first game after. Pretty well timed bye.

Last night is what I think Vasy's going to look like when he's fully developed. Not only did he make big saves, but he controlled the game for the most part. Everything was calm and collected and I can't think of any pucks that got lost directly in front of him. Workmanlike.

D played well too, second period included. Outside of the Panarin shot above, I can't think of a single Grade A chance (and even then, Panarin needs to lift that puck).

Yeah he was pissed after that 3rd goal

 

[LightningStrikes]

F'ed up his GAA in the last minute of a game he had previously dominated for 59 and a half minutes. On a more or less unscreened shot from far out. I get why he's pissed. He's probably aiming to get it down to around 2.00. TBF though that shot was a well placed rocket.

 

[Hoek]

He was down too early I guess.

 

[Rschmitz]

Sharks fans asking why he didn't act like this after the second goal and calling him a baby. I think it's pretty clear he acted this way because he lost focus, and not because he made a mistake. I can understand the frustration.

People are idiots who don't think this is a good thing, the anger is directed at himself. This is how you build intrinsic motivation....same if you reward yourself having accomplished something.

Safe to say with 40 seconds to go next game Vasy is going to remember this and stay focused.

Does anybody know what he just said?

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Tried using my google translate app and after playing it 10 times the best I could come up with is.

Hello this is Andrei from the all star game. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow you can watch the best players in the world play. I am waiting for your support and hope you watch.

That or something about wanting support and cutting cartoons???

Does anybody know what he just said?

Please get me out of this shithole of a team I hate it here.

Kevin Weekes gave an anecdote on NHL Network that he was talking to Henrik Lundqvist last year at MSG and Hank was saying that Vasi was the best goalie in the league.
