I actually hated to see Elvis leave the game. And that's saying something since everyone knows I'm not his biggest fan. He had settled down and was really seeing the puck well.
Elvis was still in goal when the winning CBJ goal was scored so technically he gets credit for the W, not MartinAnother positive is Martin got in and got his feet wet for the win
That was intended. You had a cold goalie out there and Pascal wanted a hold the line defensive setup for pretty much the entire 3rd period.Only watched the last 30 mins of the game, but every line of ours seemed to be pinned in our zone no matter who was on the ice for NYR.
Shots still most definitely matter. This team will lose 90% of the leads if they turtle and go -15 shots/period. Not a valid strategy to hold a lead.
Illness...take that as you will.I dont think it was strategy but only option after goalie change, that said I did not have change to watch the game, what happened to Elvis?

Its a shame because he played so well you hate to see it end on a brown note.
He left the ice after the second in clear distress.So he played two periods excellent and said hey coach im not feeling very well.. sounds extremely suspicous to me, hope its not serious
what a shallacking!! yet you won! congrats
There's chemistry with these libest. Don't change a thing for the next game.
Jiříček is our best RD.
The entire third period, no hyperbole, was played in the CBJ zone. I think we had 2 or 3 shots to their 15-16. They were all over usHow did Jiricek manage to get such dreadful on ice stats?
I have a mixed feeling about this game. We take two points, but we largely got outplayed, thankfully Boone scored everything he could score and we capitalized on the only chance we had in the third.
We might not get this lucky next time
This is one of the mysteries of statistics. Compare Tex's.I was out tonight and missed the game, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like the 4th line got acceptable results.
I'd get our scratches back in there and see how they react to it. Or in Bemstrom's case he was legit fine in the first game, seemingly much better than Foudy and Olivier were tonight. I understand Olivier might not be 100%, but all the more reason to rest him.

Provorov is under contract for this season and next season (could not tell if you knew this based on your post). CBJ hardly have to rush into anything with him.Provorov looked good last night. We probably won't be able to resign him next year so I hope we get a good return at the deadline.
Eh, he has another season. He'll be safe this year. They might look to move him after Mateychuk earns his spot during camp though.Provorov looked good last night. We probably won't be able to resign him next year so I hope we get a good return at the deadline.
I was watching on the Rangers feed and they did show a replay of Elvis skating off when the 2nd period ended. He was hunched over while he skated back on his own. But that doesn't mean your sick because you could do that if you're hurt as well. But to be fair, in the Canucks hope opener Demko was playing well and they had a big lead and they switched goalies. Coach explanation was he had the flu and vomited in his mask.So he played two periods excellent and said hey coach im not feeling very well.. sounds extremely suspicous to me, hope its not serious
