I know that some of the players read these boards from time to time, so I want to put this out there into the aether. Stu, you dug deep. You found your game again and you're putting your best out there when it matters.
As we've seen in the last five games, you have what it takes to be a great goalie in this league, beyond these playoffs. Your biggest enemy is what happens between your ears. Keep doing what you're doing (square to the shooter, covering the short side post, staying UP for as long as you can, playing the angles correctly, getting the far side pad down on cross-crease shot attempts, not skating out behind the net at bad times (you're still doing this last one a little too often, haha)) and great things will follow.
I wrote a couple of weeks back when Calvin was hurt that we needed to have faith in you, and show you support. We need to have your back and you're showing us why. Ride it out, bud. Keep your head down and ride this thing out.
