big salute to Jordan Martinook, who is so beloved that Aho and Svechnikov were on the ice in the final minute to get him a hat trick and failed successfully.
It's not every day you can stack two teams with team totals in the 4s and wind up pretty much on an island.

this is super interesting, and not just rah-rah "i like hockey so should you"
I share as much raw passion for the sport as anybody involved, but lack the appreciation for the form the masses desire for this content.
It won't be for me, but that's okay.

but I am thrilled at the idea of seeing it through the lens of someone who is invested in it for more than a FanDuel 4-leg SGP or ties to the acclaimed lore of Oklahoma hockey history (shout out to Jon Merrill) in one of the coolest venues in college history.

Slept on it, the takes no one asked for on the Connor Hellebuyck non-game 🤷♂️:
1. From an entertainment and sports culture aspect alone this sucks for all invested.
2. You’re fooling yourself if you truly believe Connor Hellebuyck is running from an NHL start in Winnipeg. Are we all forgetting the environment in MTL, February 15, 2025?
3. The Winnipeg Jets are a “back up” goalie night team, harsh but fair.
4. NJD next 3 games far more valuable than this one; even if our emotions want to value this one more than any other
5. “Helle picks his own starts” was a Winnipeg thing and can’t assume another org would let him run it like WPG did. Hell, Brossoit’s name would be on a Jennings trophy if the Jets front office had the stones of this unpopular Mehta decision
6. Surely someone as calculated as Mehta is going to play Hellebuyck under the 62-65 starts he got in WPG and hope it benefits his team in the dance, speaking of things WPG should’ve done with Bross in tow.
7. This looks soft and paying fans in Winnipeg have every right to and likely will to an even greater degree voice their individual thoughts on it all
8. What matters to NJD’s aspirations does not equate to the perception of handling WPG’s circus for them. Sunny Mehta doesn’t owe us anything, even if I wish he did.
9. I believe he should play, but I have 0 stake in the NJD
10. There lessons in this, bigger picture, that the organization whose success we care about can probably take from this.
11. Welcome to MLB style management, NHL.
two thing can be true:
1) the Devils are coddling Hellebuyck, which is their right
2) he should absolutely be in net on Tuesday
Set aside the performative BS, no one outside of Manitoba will be thinking about this a month from now.

Given he seems to have not required any preseason ramp-up to be a legitimate star in net this season (basically 14 of his 15 periods have been perfection -- Thurs against STL 3P the exception), it makes total sense that NJ wants to preserve whatever state he's in right now.

Cutter Gauthier began his NHL career with 107 shot attempts before scoring his first NHL goal against Detroit, his 17th game.
In the past two weeks, Cutter has 64 shot attempts in 7 games and has scored 13... 13!!!! goals.

the prophecy hath foretold great things for this young man
Cutter Gauthier did that tonight in one *period*, the third period.
The third period, as you know, comes after the second period. In the second period, Cutter had nine shot attempts.
18 shot attempts on the night. 18. 12 on goal.
Obscene stuff.
