Absolutely! A starting goalie is out there on an island and has so much more pressure on them than a guy getting 3 or 4 shifts who can kind of stay low key during a debut. Love to see it!
I agree but not having watched the game, why did Ottawa give up that many shots? I would think they would have tightened up to help out the debuting goalie. Hopefully he develops into a strong netminder
@@nextmanupNMUthis the only time I cheered for Ottawa cause I live in cape breton and have talked to Kevin in person manny times along side Pierre luc Dubois evgeni svechnikov Igor sokolov and drake batherson. I have manny signed stuff and pictures and I’m glad to see all these guys do well.
I'm not just some average Islander fan,when my dad got home from Vietnam he got a job for METLIFE ,and made manager at the youngest age,in 76-87 he got the NY Islander account ,and i grew up as a fly on the wall during that time...which i could write a book about.
@@mikepurdue7472 my dad was at the colosseum 2 of the cups they won, and many of the playoff games. Bossy trottier smith, he drops like 30 names in 10 seconds when talking about back in the day islanders, he was a huge fan. He was actually a Rangers fan prior when he was young, because there literally wasnt a Islanders team in the league until 72. He was literally a day 1 islander fan. During the 90s lmao they called the colosseum the mausoleum because of how bad they were, the ziggy palfy era that dude was sick. He also knew a couple of the ushers and would always get us better seats. Those 90s and early 2000s islanders games were some of the dopest, i also got to see Hasek play when he was on Buffalo in 99, one game buffalo didnt even start him and he was at onepoint standing somewhere near the crowd next to two european chicks just signing autographs for whoever. I like the islanders and buffalo was my second, i rooted hard for them in 99 when they made the playoffs. The Rangers i was never a fan of but the garden is probably the best place to see a game the old one specifically had a vibe to it, the new one i havent been to alot but its still good. They also tore down the OG yankee stadium, alot of people are still pissed about that.
I just wanted to thank you for your videos, really refreshing, short but informative while having a new take on the events in the NHL which mostly stay unnoticed - Excellent stuff and many thanks from Germany! 🇩🇪
Agreed idk how but this channel appeared in my home feed been watching bunch of vids past week or so since finding it. I also like the shortness/ informativeness ? Lol of them
I have seen this guy in action playing for the Belleville Senators. He wasn’t too bad in the game I saw vs Toronto Marlies. Glad he got his big chance in the big leagues! Great job in the win, Kevin. Congrats man.
@Menurd 1 Yes, don't be an idiot. If you are a fan in general you should want hockey to thrive in places like Florida. The popularity and therfore survival of the game depends on it. Please stop eating tide pods.
He's playing in the Big Time and REALLY stepped up to the Big Time. To be the fourth string guy and do this is remarkable. I doubt he's a fourth stringer tomorrow.
When I read "40 years", I reflexively thought you were referring to the 1950's or 60's. I was sadly brought back to reality when I then saw you were talking about Ken Wregget. Also, 70 is a great number for a goalie.
Tempter your expectations. As a Canucks fan we had Mike Fountain who posted a solid shutout in his debut, but didn't accomplish much past that. Don't mean to be entirely negative. Mandolese performed great, and I hope he has lots of success in the future.
@@SgtCheemsy he was sent to the ECHL due to performance issues rather than because they didn’t have room for him. Before the coach in Belleville was fired, he was on the Ottawa TSN radio pretty often and never had anything good to say about him
I'm a LEAFS fan, living in Ottawa, and even I was pulling for the dude to get a HUGE WIN. They only 7 points back of Washington now with 3 games in hand, so ya never know....would be cool to see both Ontario teams in the playoffs, and LAST TIME the LEAFS won a playoff round it was against Ottawa WAY BACK in 2004.
I thought the highlight clip was an open ice hit. Cause it feels like over 40 years since I saw Scott Stevens light someone up. Nice commentary. I subscribed. Nice breakdown of the plays.
I can't believe more people don't know about this but one of the best strategies against us is literally bringing in some random goalie. I swear it works every time. Awesome story for Mando though, well done
As an islanders fan I could see this coming. We have some ridiculous thing where we’ve lost like 4 or 5 straight games in which the other teams goalie is making their NHL debut. It’s insane. Dude played amazing that game tho l, I mean he must’ve cuz it’s been like a month and i remembered it instantly when I saw the thumbnail
Not to take anything away from him but the Islanders have always had a way of making rookie goalies look like Patrick Roy. I'd like to see how he plays against a team that actually has some legit offensive talent. (Signed, frustrated lifelong Islander fan)
"not taking anything away". Proceeds to downgrade the dudes performance by saying the competition was weak. Lol Your team almost put up 50 shots and you dominated the OT period. Give the rookie credit where it's due - with the game on the line, he stood up tall.
@@Whitesquall123 my comment is bashing the Islanders, not the goalie. Read it again... goalie played a great game against an offensively inept team. If I wanted to belittle the goalies performance, I wouldn't have prefaced my statement with "not to take anything away".
@@ryanmiddleton109 I didn't say you bashed him, but by saying the Islanders are a bad team you are literally taking something away from Mando's performance. It's all good, I just thought it was funny. But regarding the quality of chances, there were plenty of high quality scoring chances and shots. But his positioning was sound all game, so he didn't need to make any crazy acrobatic saves so his performance may have no looked as great as it was.
@@Whitesquall123 I'm not taking anything away from the performance. He made the saves. It was a great moment for him. I wish the guy the best as it is a great story. It is, however, very true that he is not the first rookie goalie to have a great game against the Islanders due to their ineptitude. Not even this season. It's been happening for years and it's almost comical at this point.
The most Saves by an NHL goaltender is 70 by Ron Tugnutt. It happened March 21st 1991 it was a 3-3 overtime tie. Yes they had ties back then. Tugnutt played for the Quebec Nordiques and the game was versus the Boston Bruins at the. Old Boston Garden
Penguins 3rd string goalie almost got them through the playoffs last year. As a Ranger fan I emphasize the almost. But he did good enough to catch the eye of Rangers scouts and we picked him up, so who knows where this ends up leading him
Laurent Brossoit was a beauty in Winnipeg.. Arguably a better backup than the aging (All-star) David Rittich. I'm surprised he hasn't blown up in the league yet. VERY solid performer.
Lack of scoring. Look at the top 5 goal scorers... that's all you need to know, lol. Ignoring Horvat and organized by goals... Brock Nelson -> 57 - 22 - 30 - 57 (0.91) Anders Lee -> 57 - 19 - 17 - 36 (0.63) Mathew Barzal -> 56 - 14 - 35 - 49 (0.88) Zach Parise -> 57 - 14 - 7 - 21 (0.37) Noah Dobson -> 53 - 11 - 22 - 33 (0.62) ------- Jean-Gabriel Pageau -> 56 -> 10 - 19 - 29 (0.52) Kyle Palmeri -> 30 - 8 - 8 - 16 (0.53) Oliver Whalstrom -> 35 - 7 - 9 - 16 (0.46) Josh Bailey -> 53 - 6 - 15 - 21 (0.40) Matt Martin -> 56 - 6 - 9 - 15 (0.27) Islanders have scored 164 goals... in 57 games (they are lower than 21st in the league for scoring). Ottawa Senators have scored 161 goals... in 53 games (the are above 21st in the league for scoring). The difference is Islanders have had 12 fewer goals against in 4 more games than Ottawa resulting in fewer regulation losses hence the 6 point difference between the two teams!
I remember when Manny Legace first came up with the Kings in '98. Stephane Fiset and Jamie Storr had both gotten injured so Manny got kind of thrown in at the deep end. The thing is, Manny is kind of short, only 5' 9", and whenever they tried to go top shelf on him he would actually jump, kind of a bunny hop. It looked funny as hell but Manny probably didn't think it was funny.
He's on an ECL... which ends this season. He's probably not going to get a large increase in pay... unless he walks away from the Belleville Senators... which is unlikely.
i know this isnt about stutzle, but my god i was wrong about the kid. After last year i liked his talent but i wasnt sure about how good he was really going to be. the kid is impressive and im glad i was wrong.

Just one of the many, many reasons hockey is my absolute favorite sport. Thank you for making!

It was good to see Mando make his nhl debut! Working with the bsens it was fun to watch him play when he had the chance.
So cool! Really happy for the guy, the family and the team!

Oh God, I'm 31. I forgot.
Unfortunately, exact same reality check for me.
What a story!! What a debut!
he was awesome to watch!!! so going to be following his promising career, awesome movement and eyes of a hawk
I remember him playing for the Cape Breton Eagles (QMJHL) In 2020. Really cool to see him do so well😊
Good to see him and Sogard finally get starts in the nhl. I feel like they’ve been in the farm system forever!
I was a goalie in my youth, so I just love these stories!
Watched him all the time in Belleville.
as a sens fan i am very happy that we have Mandolese
Would you have said that 3 nights ago when the rest of the fans were panicking because Mandolese has looked horrible in Belleville? lol

Beautiful vid! Easiest sub decision ever
Ken Wregget ! Been a while since I’ve heard his name. Decent goalie during some tough years for the Leafs.
We should give some props to the Sens Defence for allowing this many shots on goal lmfao
What a great story
Vasilevskiy shaking in his skates over Mandolese nuts.
i was at this game im an isles fan but gotta respect it
That’s so cool, far from a Sens fan but that is a great accomplishment for him
When I read the NHL hasn't seen this in 40 years my first guess was a Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup.
actually 29 years for that
Good that that guy. Glad to see it.
Nice video! Go Sens Go !!! :D
I used to watch him when he was in the q and played for the cape breton eagles. I always knew he would get somewhere
He made history heck yea
Good on ya mate!
And it just happened again with them tonight with Ferguson saving even more shots
