Happy playoffs BSB faithful. It’s been a bit since you’ve last heard from me, but I thought the time was right to stop by and offer some analysis on the Rangers’ goaltending matchup for the first round with this Vitek Vanecek style report. The Rangers’ date with the Devils fulfills the expectation that was seemingly set in stone months ago, but bizarrely was only confirmed late last week. Hockey is a strange sport sometimes.
After years of fairly unreliable goaltending, the Devils looked to a steadier performer in Vitek Vanecek to give them at least league-average goaltending this season.
