Reply With QuoteI have a very simple rule this season. Do not start your goalie on the road in Detroit. The Red Wings are after their 19th straight win at home tonight.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Had it been a home game for Anaheim, then it would've been a good idea to start Hiller because the Wings seem to be unable to win on the road.Originally Posted by metaldude26
Streaks are meant to be broken.I'm starting him and hoping for the best.
Anaheim 3 Detroit 2 - my (hopeful) prediction.
Famous last wordsStreaks are meant to be broken.
Yeah that sounded like something one might say before getting beheaded by the unfailing executioner.Famous last words
Haha. Well, I'm a bit more optimistic generally regardless of the difficult matchups if the goalie is solid. Sometimes they backfire, but sometimes I look like a genius. Hoping for the latter. If not, it's been nice knowing you.*as he looks up to the sharp blade above his head*
I would find it very hard to start my goalies away at a place where the home team is 21-2-1.

I'll start him and hope Detroit doesn't light him up for 4+ goals......
Hiller still hasn't solidified his game as of late and I am gonna play it safe to bench him.

I should also add that Hiller has a career 3.52 GAA against the Wings.
and a 2-6-0 record against DET

...... now you guys are making me have second thoughts.
I just put him on my bench, so he's a lock for a shutout tonight.

And Cam Fowler playing "defense" in front of him.
