Credit, where credit is due to JJ, but I wonder if having Tomkins here on the bench played a little part. Nothing like calling up the guy who's next in line to take your job, to add some healthy competition/added pressure in what felt like a must play well game for JJ. Whatever works?

JJ has solid performances in him, he played the start of last season well even with the awful defense he needs to get there again. Obviously we're gambling pretty hard with league minimum goalies but that's the gameplan, can't really afford an expensive backup when we already have one of the highest paid goalies in the league.

Yeah, that's the playoff move. If Vasy goes down, or performs poorly in the playoffs, we are never gonna be able to afford a back up who can carry us to a cup. So might as well go league min, so long as we can still make the playoffs.
