Had to leave the game at 2-0 and watch it on replay today. Really happy they pulled it off. It's interesting watching the lines get blended this year but actually seeing results. I think part of it is simply the average quality of player this year is significantly higher.
Plus, through 5 games this year, we already have 2 all time epic gifs. What a season so far. I actually remember Rittich doing an early celebration last year as well, but we didn't end up scoring on the play. Good on him to keep working at the early celebration and not giving up.
One surprise for me was Frolik sitting, simply because I didn't think the coach would pull the trigger on a deserved night in the press box. I really think that Vegas game last year broke Frolik.
