The day started with the VGK having a completely healthy roster. Alex Pietrangelo returned to the team after missing the last 12 games due to an undisclosed injury that most believe was a hairline fracture after taking a slapshot to his upper body. But before Carnell âGolden Pipesâ Johnson completed his usual inspiring rendition of the National Anthem, the VGK were short a forward in Ryan Reaves. Though Reaves warmed up for the game, Coach DeBoer revealed in his post-game conference that Reaves was scratched afterwards.

Watching this show is like playing network crime drama Bingo: The pilot gave us a standard killer-of-the-week procedural; the second episode, a
Law & Order-esque interrogation narrative; and last week found the show doing a gloss on the ol’ “internal investigation threatens to take down our heroes” shtick. So if “good guy is caught by the villain for an episode-long battle of wits” lines up with those others on your playing board, congratulations! Bingo.
