Where are you on Vasilevsky really having a bounce back kind of spring?
Let me ask you in terms of now, if you think that you may have a number one starter, but the 1B is starting to play pretty darn good here, and I'll use Minnesota as an example, the Wild, where Wallstead has actually been pretty good down the stretch, but you've got Gustafson.
And just how important is it for a head coach, Valley, to โ
Pick the right one, not necessarily who's playing the best, but if it's not Gustafson who's the highest paid guy there and a guy who's got a long-term contract, is it a bad message to send that you're not my guy in game one and you kind of have doubts on me already?
Is that a bad seed to plant?
Valley, I want to touch on a few markets that didn't make it, missed the playoffs, and whether or not they're behind the scenes pointing fingers at their goaltending situation.
And I'd love for you to start in Detroit on the disappointment of the Red Wings leading the division, I think, in the third week in January and then missing out.
And what ultimately does that mean for a guy like Gibson?
Is that Tortorella?
Just Tortorella comes in and they have that history?
Just one more for me when it comes to, again, the mindset of putting weight on a guy that hasn't experienced it as much as others.
Columbus, they're all crushed.
All those fans are absolutely crushed.
Jed Greaves had an amazing season, 54 games.
But did the weight get a little too heavy for him to close this thing out?
And don't call them Shirley.
Are you good?
That was like, that's some good stuff.
Hey, listen.
