  1. This show quickly became filler, but the two-episode premiere tonight might have been the best Dead combo since early Walking Dead. It actually felt like a movie between both episodes. They've really upped the horror element.

     

    Casting Dayton Callie (ex-Deadwood, Sons of Anarchy) was brilliant.

     

    I still can't believe....I mean I didn't expect..... To soon for spoilers???

  2. Named Best Goalie of the Conference Finals...

     

    ? Best goaltender was Igor Shestyorkin (SKA), who helped his team to victory in three of the four games against Lokomotiv. The 21-year-old netminder allowed just a solitary goal, achieving the highest save percentage (98.51) and lowest goals against average of (0.55) of any goalie in the round;

  3. Started the game today. Has 31 saves so far.

     

    Was wondering if he would start today. Noticed he picked up a win a couple days a go in his playoff debut, playing a bout 2 minutes in OT. Than last game he played about 48 min, picked up another win, and stopped all 32 shots he faced. Now got the win today stopping 33 of 34. Wonder if he stays in net for the rest of the way?

     

    Overall: 3-0-0, .55 GAA, .985 SV% in 109:40

  4. Drury echoed those sentiments. He said while Day has always been known as a great skater, that's only one aspect of his game that he's seen take strides since September's training camp, when the Rangers kept Day around longer than nearly all the prospects who were sent back to junior.

     

    "You can't not watch him and not notice how great of a skater he is, but I think he has a lot other skills besides that," Drury said. "He's a big, strong kid that's really only scratched the surface as far as training. He's got to be one of the strongest players in that League. I think the upside in that department is huge."

     

    While Day did not crack a spot on Team USA's roster for this year's World Junior Championship, Drury said that after talking with people from USA Hockey that he fully expects Day to be a strong contender for a spot for next year's tournament in Buffalo.

     

    "I recently saw some USA Hockey World Junior staff members and they have been hearing the same reports around the hockey world as we have in that he's been making strides and developing into a more well-rounded player and is certainly on their radar for next year's tournament."

  5. 36 save shutout tonight. Kid is a big time talent. Likely our top prospect and goaltender of the future.

     

    Almost perfect timing too. When the KHL contract is up he will only be 23. Hank will be 37 with two years left on his contract. Shesterkin can be the back up and play 30 games a year keeping Hank fresh, be very capable if Hank gets injured, or just be the starter if Hank retires early.
