Honestly it's completely absurd how they have handled Protas.
Finding him in the first place, developing him at the right pace, locking him in to that team-friendly contract before he fully blossomed... insane.

and grabbing his brother with knowledge of what they thought Big Pro was about to become
I just want to see Big Pro do it for a season and a half ... but he's looking friggin awesome atm
Don't forget coming up to me he looked better as a center before blossum time so there is still some undiscovered positional flexibility here.

Great W. Great game overall.
Chuckie, feeling bad and making huge saves
JC74 climb another step into a disallowed goals.
Before they were just disallowed with one review. No it takes 2.

On Protas. At the end of games hes out skated the icing a couple times and just eats up the puck. Hes fast and a tank

Protas is also on pace for 69 points
what would be the best result in history when it comes to Belarusian NHL players. Sharango last year and Grabo back in days had something around 60 points seasons IIRC

All I know is when Ovechkin is one goal away from the record, Carlson isn’t allowed on the ice with him ever, can’t have the Carlson curse have the record goal overturned

Didn't watch last night, just watched the 10 minute version... 2 notes..
Protas .. yeah. Not only his deflection (while being a screen), but his screen on the McMichael goal. I wish they gave assists for those, in my book he had a 1+1 night regardless of the box score.
On the Vrana goal .. A, he's still got that lethal shot... but B, and really my main takeaway ... I loved loved loved how he celebrated, seemingly calling out Lappy (giving the "great setup!" point and shout). I have no idea what he was thinking of course, but I didn't see anything particularly special about the transition and pass, aside from allowing Jake to take it in stride. My first thought from this is that he was pumping up Jimi, helping him feel good, giving him confidence. Obviously don't know if that was intentional or not, but it would be the kind of thing the kid likely needs. Would be a big veteran "been there, done that, had my struggles, you're good, just don't forget it" kind of mentoring move from Vrana. Probably inferring wrongly, but I like to think it.
A third note (My xNF% algorithm needs some work) ... every time I see Chuckie in a locker room clip I can't believe the guy is a professional athelete with his relative lack of upper body strength. I've never really paid much attention to goalies before, but I can't recall seeing (m)any other NHL goalies as skinny as him. IIRC Holtby and Kolzig were both pretty big, solid, guys. Can't remember others.
