Gameday, Panthers vs. Devils, Game 4, W, 3-0 (Shutout for José!!)

Of course the coach has not said, but José was practicing in the "starter's net" and was the first off the ice. So all indications point to him being the starter.

After the first period, the game is scoreless. José has stopped all 11 shots he faced. Let's hope for more of the same in the 2nd period (except with some Panthers' scoring...yeah, that's what I wish for.)

This was during warmups, so that's why there's a puck in the net.

After 2 periods the Panthers lead 1-0. So at least they got one, that's awesome. But I'm really hoping for another insurance goal. These one goal leads are so nerve-wracking! José is looking very sharp, but the Panthers are missing a lot of good scoring chances. Let's hope they can convert on those in the last period. José saved all 6 shots he faced in the 2nd period.

This feels so good!!! Panthers win 3-0 (3rd goal was an empty net.) José had a 30-save-shutout!!! And he was the 1st star!! That's what I'm talking about! So proud of him! The Panthers lead the series 3-2 and are headed back to NJ for a Tuesday game.
