Jan Levine: Game 66: NYR 1 TB 0 OT, Raanta steals one, Glass fights, Clendening sits
A potpourri of stories

Hi guys, I'm back.

I would say Vasilevskiy stole a point for Tampa last night, he was insane

We've played in a bunch of these this yr with both tenders playing out of there minds. The 0-0 tie into OT against Chicago which Raanta played too & more recently the game with Toronto where Anderson stole them a point & we won in the shootout.

Raanta wasn't to shabby himself

I hate the expansion draft talk all the time, but really, how does Vegas not take him, they'd be cray cray.

I totally made up that Clendening quote btw

Yup, I said it earlier in the year. Its gonna hurt if he goes. There is no way to protect 2 goalies right?

I know I read it yesterday and honestly didn't see anything that crazy in it.

wait did you guys really believe RD about those Clendening quotes?

Hell of an exciting game!
We could still use a little puck luck. Especially Nash. What did he end up with? About 10 shots?
Solid efforts pretty well across the board.
F Clendenning. The team is a family and you don't air your dirty laundry in public. I don't see where Kampfer has been any worse or better than him. We might see more improvement from Kampfer if he's given the chance to play a little.
And finally, if I see a post of Stepan's recent stats again, I'm flagging it!

no, in fact each team is REQUIRED to expose an NHL goalie who is signed and played a certain amount of games

Officially no. A backdoor deal might be possible though, if the price of keeping Vegas from picking him is tolerable.

yeah a bunch of topics..... great response to A V 's moves ...team did play a much more physical and complete game .... they should ....
Nash ..has to sell his soul to get sum puck luck .... shots he creates on his own are
just sick..... lasers that hit goalies get hit with or what .... follow his lead ,he is
possessed and wants it bad....
Gotta like having a tool like Glass ,rounds out A V's options for game ready conditions ..1 guy can change attitude when u know he is the tip of the spear
the others are just barbs to support ..BUT must have a tip to make a point!!!!
We will be fine when it comes to toughness & grit ..especially when G man is back & fresh for his tune up to P O's
I M O our D will rise up big time ..... Mac -Staal liked it ..maybe Staal needs mac speed & Staal covers so much area with span ..wh o knows may be time for the ole #1 to team up with the newer #1.....
Clendenon? party 's probably over...never get in the print as the 7 man ins policy guy..... which is the job now on the line due to your weak play in the grit areas..... Stumpner is a guy who will hopefully NEVER get to play in PO's same as you ... no offense but know your place & follow the ass in front of u...Buddy !
Klein is gonna get to be our 7 man soon (last 3 weeks )
rest Holden or Staal on a back to back ...JUST not this one...
Cant play Stumpner & Clenedenon at same time UNLESS desperate....
switch goalies is all that should change Unless Grabs is ready ? sit Pirri
D is gonna be fine..... Mac -Staal
G man -Shey ... gonna fly
Holden- Smith .... 3rd pair ?
interchangeable depending on whatever u may need or want ...
Klein as a 7 man? not bad ins policy ..L G R

I find the set up of this expansion draft a little odd. Vegas MUST select one player from each of 30 teams. How much is that gonna suck for the 8 NHLer's who end up in the minors next season?

Well we gave away Talbot to you (frank)ers. Thank god we got Raanta. Rangers have been a lucky team to have such capable backups in recent years

Why? What has he done to make him irreplaceable?
