Well we lose tonight and we beat the Sharks tomorrow (this board will eviscreate itself if we don't) on a B2B, Vitek's getting the net back regardless lol
I know
And it’s bullshit
Ruff and Rogalski are both riding Vitek right to their closed door meetings where both are handed their pink slips.
No playoffs this year means all three will be gone after this year. Or at least hopefully.
I bet Vitek isn’t on this team next year. If he is then it means somehow he finished this year with similar numbers to last year.
I just ran the numbers. Vitek playing 37 more games this year (god help us) would take him to the same number of games he played last year, though I didn’t calculate down to the exact number of minutes because that’s too complicated.
If Vitek plays 37 more games this year, while averaging 32 shots faced per game (just a random/realistic number I used) and plays at a .920% the rest of the year, he’d finish the season with a .910% when you add his body of work he’s already completed on the season.
So basically he’d have to have the “Cory is back!” Fools gold run from 2019, only in about twice the number of games played, just to finish around the same place he did last season.
Can you imagine Vitek playing .920% over the next 37 games? Has he ever even had a stretch in his NHL career where he played to a .920% over 37 games?
Even if he plays to a .920% over 20 games, I’m sure that barely just brings him above .900% on the season.
He would have to have a run that rivals Blackwood’s run from Hynes firing to the covid pause just to finish the season on par with last year.
