A fleury of a finish. Opps, wrong team.
Surreylily:
Lol!
That was a bit more encouraging, however I don't think we're going to see Vrana again.
Really liking ThomCat. Very quick, very alert. He did something earlier that I noticed. He took some water and sprayed it up and focused on one drop, exactly like the Goalie Whisperer taught Holtby to do. This is a good sign to me.
One win does not a goalie make, but this kid has promise I think. I definitely want to see more of him.

More fun when they win.
Strome looking good...did he have any wingers playing with him? :P
Dowd line looked good. Not sure if its a good sign if one of your best lines so far this preseason is your 4th liners, but considering the overall lineup....i guess you'd expect the cagey vets to look good.
++also...Dowds line played more minutes than any other line - they were 18/19 minutes...Ovi line 15m, Vrana line 15m, Sutter line <10m
I thought the Sgarbossa/Limoges/Vrana line looked very good - they were in the play quite a bit, but it was mostly Limoges name i kept hearing
Vrana was noticeable last night, but i dunno if its enough to get him a shot? He got the wheels and did drive a couple plays, but he still looks like a one way player. He stands around waiting for someone to pass him the puck. He did muck it up more and made some plays, but I'm just not sure that's in his nature....he more of a hover around the blue line and wait for someone to dig it out and pass him the puck to burn up the ice with.
Logan Thompson (Goalie) was flipping fantastic. He gives me a glimmer of hope. Yes its only one game, but he got some skills for sure. He's a big rig too I think. Appears to be anyway. I checked his career stats and he's 56w, 32L in his 4 years with Vegas (mostly the last 2 years). SV% .912 is good, GAA 2.67 not so great. We got him for two 3rd round picks (2024, 2025) which seems cheap for his pedigree. 27 years old is pretty early prime for a goalie. How is this dude only making $766k a year? He is a UFA next year.
