excited to see how many softies Sateri adds to his total tonight. Woof.
I’ll give you a little spoiler, since I’m already laying down and I need my desktop computer to post the entire review because it’s too long and I don’t want my post getting lost before it even posts, which happens sometimes on mobile.
4 on Sateri and 2 on Vejmelka. It was f***ing terrible. On my god. Yeah, the Flames were the WAY better team, but holy shit, this is exactly why expected goals is a thing. The Flames easily should have scored 3 or 4 goals, but 6 of the 9 were just terrible goals allowed. I hope the Vejmelka stuff finally dies down now. He’s been on a death spiral the last 4 games or so that he’s played. He only allowed two of those goals tonight, but both were bad. It looks like Sateri allowed 4, Vejmelka came in to allow 2 and then Sateri ended up back in there to allow 3 more.
And it’s safe to say Sateri won’t be getting an NHL job next year with this performance, as well as the other games he’s played. Not that I think he would have anyway.
There were over 100 goals scored tonight and I can never remember 100 goals in the 4 years I’ve done this. There’s been plenty of nights with 14 games, but never 100 goals in those 4 years. At least I don’t think so. 90 definitely, but 100? I can’t remember triple digits.
And being that I reviewed pretty much everything up to the time the Kraken-Devils game had started, I had a very low percentage of goals stoppable (there were a lot in the afternoon games though, but cooled down for the night games), but then of course Grubauer and Daws and Vejmelka (mostly Sateri) and Merzlikins (maintaining the lead in goals stoppable over Grubauer by just one) games all came on and the night finished with a slightly higher than my league average percentage.
I didn’t count a single goal stoppable in tha Carolina/Colorado game.
You could give the softy of the night to quite a few of the goals on Sateri and Vejmelka, but the one I have in mind came in the afternoon.
