This game is indicative of what Bolts fans should expect until Vasi is back between the pipes.

Louis "Heart Attack" Domingue is going to make things interesting. Hopefully, the rest of the roster is deep enough with elite talent to lean on during this period. All great teams can absorb the temporary loss of a key player, so this is a good litmus test for the Bolts. We lost Hedman for a brief time and the wheels didn't come off the wagon, so maybe this time will Vasi will be similar - a little scary at times, but doable for a month or month and a half.

To be fair, Domingue faced a lot of rubber (north of 40 shots) and looked solid for stretches. He gave us a chance to win and we did..... barely.

More concerning was the 10 minute Chinese Fire Drill in the Bolts' end of the ice that allowed that epic 4-goal comeback.
