I fell asleep after the first but the highlights seem to indicate another rough night for the defense. It's really looking bad lately.

Jack on the other hand is just on another planet. What a player.

Defense was better after the 1st, well, at least definitely NOT like Nashvillle game.

One of the better back and forth games (without the excessive scoring) we've seen in awhile. Very level for 2 teams. Felt like a playoff game.

Vitek was unreal....

Also about Vitek:

Really happy to see a goalie on our team that gets pissed off when opponents start crossing bounds. He dishes out shit when he feels they cross a line. Fights for himself/team visibly. Not just about the Benn stuff, other games he will push or swipe even mid play. Havent seen that on this team from a goalie in awhile. Kinkaid maybe was last goalie that did that a little bit.

And he doesnt go full Binnington.

Eh, I forgot that even happened this year. But that's probably something NJ wish they had for Hughes/Nico come playoffs, imagine what the idiot Trouba is going to try to pull if we match with the Rags round 1. He already almost tried to put Nico in a wheelchair this year and missed. Kinda hoping Brendan Smith puts Trouba in his place game 1.

Ranger fans already saying you have to play Hughes physical.

Siegenthaler being so shitty really is a problem

Dougie already not the best on his own zone and now Sieg has been a giveaway machine, terrible development for our blueline. Hopefully, with some days of rest he can get back on track.

Did I miss something? I felt he was better than Blackwood, but the team is in love with him so here we are, with Blackwood as the #2.
Yes apparently you did if you're perplexed as to why a good amount of people here (who don't make excuses) would rather have Schmid (who had another shutout last night, I believe) over Blackwood.

I mean...Blackwood was immediately re-inserted into the lineup when he returned from injury and Schmid was sent back automatically because.....reasons.

At that point, Schmid had shown he could be a very effective #2 to Vitek but screw him apparently because.....Blackwood.

Jack Hughes is the best player in the NHL not named McDavid.

What a difference good goaltending makes. We wanted league-average and got WAY more than we were expecting from Vitek. Big points to Fitz for that acquisition.
The Tkatchuk-Huberdeau deal was the big ticket trade in the off-season, but in terms of turning a team around none has had more impact than Fitz trading for The Vitek™️. Total robbery.

Matthews is, but Jack is inserting himself in that convo.

You think Jack hates questions with substance? Wait for his reaction to Erika's next "So how does it feel to score the game winner in overtime?" or "Did you think you'd get the hat trick tonight?"
yeah. With Matt, at least he gets actual Hockey-related questions.

With Erika, it's just about feelings.

How did you "Feel" when this happened?

"I felt like sh-t, Erika. How the F did you think I felt after scoring that game-winner??" /s

Good, let them say that. They're mostly likely gonna land a winger for Hughes which will make life hell for any team that plays them round 1. Play the body on Hughes and someone like Meier or Horvat will wreck that team,
