I don't agree

Give Schmid those games down the stretch as the backup or potentially more games if Vanecek's slump continues.

He can play games up here until he shows that he shouldn't be playing games up here, which he has yet to show, other than maybe that St. Louis game and if that was the worst game that he had then he's doing pretty damn good.

I couldn't care less about Blackwood, he has no future here.

Even if he has no future here beyond this season, Fitz is not losing goaltending depth right before the playoffs.

Blackwood is not going anywhere this season no matter how much people bitch about him.

God performance from Mercer.

Sharangovich dumpster fire matches the eye test.

Shara was ok on the forecheck, but flubbed glorious scoring chances that were served up to him by Hughes and Bratt. When Shara is hot, he buries those no problem, but unfortunately he's a streaky player and he's cold right now.

If you told me they put Haula back on that line and he was wearing #17, it would have made more sense.

Great win against the champs, one of the hottest teams in their house. Just that Vanecek is starting to make me nervous lately and Jack hasn’t looked like himself the last few game. Hopefully, Meier will get him back to his usual self.

I thought Bratt did some really good things on the defensive side of the puck in this one. Seemed like he really keyed in on breaking up MacKinnon once the game got close. Couple times his back pressure disrupted him and even on one of the final shifts it looked like he was almost shadowing him in the DZ. Had some jump offensively too - thought he was the only guy really going at all on that line.
