I am prepared to defend all of my choices. Haven't seen all of the gear around each, so things can change.
Overall, I understand the NHL is trying some new things with gradients and textures but some of the color/design choices confuse me. However, some are perfect 3rd Jerseys.
Wally confidence on full display making this save outside of his crease and making another high danger save look easy. Even more important is the timeliness of it, 2 goal lead to start the period could’ve been cut in half and let the Caps take momentum but he shuts it down.
No panic at all.
From the far camera angle you can tell how early his eyes lock onto the puck and see how patient he is before making his move to push out and close off the distance on the shot release. Insane amount of poise from Wally again with a little flair tacked on.
Unfortunately for the Wild, that was definitely the unconscious + not having fun Cooley in net tonight
No giveaways with his feet or his hand positioning, just pure strength from a gliding posture. Makes him so hard to stop when he can basically shoot at any time to any part of the net just as hard as guys with a full windup.
All goaltenders know:
The 5 guys that can fool you the most are wearing the same color jersey as you
Alright I gotta be honest, I’m usually all for a throwback uniform but this UMD setup looks so awful with the white helmets
Bogosian has looked solid being called on to fill in that 2nd pair role tonight. Almost 20 minutes of ice time, 4 shots on goal including that great jump into the play to drive the net in the first period.

Vikes back into field goal range, time to kick and secure this lead. Can’t risk a turnover, time to lock this one down Will
