So, does Chad have a few more starts to see what we have now?
I've always thought Chad would take over number 1 tendy at some point this season.So, does Chad have a few more starts to see what we have now?

I was highly critical of the CJ signing. Mostly because Buffalo aquired him to seal their tank. But last year he was good on a bad team.
He's not the most athletic goalie. Probably won't make a lot of spectacular saves. But his positioning is outstanding.
I wish, Russo is one of the best in the business IMO. Might be the best beat writer in the NHL, he should have a national gig.I agree. Man it's refreshing to listen to an analyst that doesn't sound like a jackmule. Can we adopt him?
This was Parise's first game back after missing 2+ weeks with a foot injury, prior to tonight he was just shy of a point per game.Even though the Flames played really well, Minny doesn't look that threatening.
Parise is going to be a boat anchor of a contract real quickly.
It's getting nasty in here.
Also, I was saying in the offseason people will be surprised by Johnson. He's just hitting his prime, he's got great size, he sees the puck well, his angles are great and he's hard to beat. He's actually a perfect compliment to Elliott.
Johnson is quickly becoming my preferred goalie. He seems so steady in so many of his games so far.
I know we won, but I don't think we actually played a better game than last game. We didn't get scored on, but we gave up the types of chances where we usually do get scored on. And we did score the same amount of goals as last game, but I think we had fewer quality scoring chances.
All in all, I liked the defence pairings this game. I thought Hamilton and Giordano looked like we wanted it to last season. Dougie made some nice plays on the offensive end, especially on that play where Johnny hit the iron. Wideman and Brodie was good too. Wideman looks like a pretty solid d-man right now, which is great. Brodie did some good things and some bad things in this game, but overall I liked his game. One thing I noticed is that they might write his name down on the left side of the pairing, but you'll find him on either side each shift. I think Wideman doesn't mind that either.
the good thing about Wideman and Brodie is Brodie can cover for the others skating a fair bit
Figures the night I can't watch, we win. Still haven't caught a win this season but have watchee 7 losses
