I thought he looked a bit shaky after the bad goal and figured it was an off night, so it was really impressive to see him bounce back. So much maturity for such a young goalie.

He is going to have some bad games. Other teams will not be surprised or unprepared - they will be breaking down video on him. But he is just such a cool cucumber. Stoned them in the shoot-out.

I wanted to see him in a shoot-out last game, and he did not disappoint going head to head with Swayman.
 
When we picked him, we had Soogard, Daccord, Mandolese, Hogberg, and Gustavsson in the system, two of them panned out pretty good, maybe we're a goalie factory now?

He reminds me a lot of Gustavsson. Very calm and quiet demeanor. We gave up on Gus too soon and he has been stellar in Minny.
 
Surprisingly, our backups are now even at 11-11.

I wonder what type of deal they will want to go with Merilainen this summer. Short term and cheap to have more room next year, or maybe something longer if they really believe in him.
