Yeah I would roll the dice with Lehner.
OK, H2H playoffs start tomorrow, first week goes Sunday thru Saturday. My goalie is N Backstrom, who is out for the duration. My options: Josh Harding or Robin Lehner. Is Lehner going to keep getting starts for the time being? I'm nervous Bishop comes up if Lehner loses another one. But the same goes for Harding - he was poor last game, we could see Hackett. Also, OTT has 4 games, none back to back, while MIN has three.
2 points for the win, 1 for the OTL. Peripheral stats do not count in this league. Who to start? I'm leaning towards Lehner - Minnesota has little positive going for it right now. Thanks!

I have Harding...so had a vested interest in him taking over the #1...but if I try to be subjective, I think it all comes down to what Minn has in store for Harding in the off season. As a UFA, if they give him an honest chance now, It may impact him coming back to potentially take over the #1 gig from Backstrom who can't seem to stay healthy. If they don't give him a chance to shine, then I think they can kiss him good bye in the off season.
But maybe that's not what they want. Hacket has been fantastic in relief this season, but only has 2 starts now under his belt. one great one, and one...Meh!?
I'm pulling for Harding (and I just picked up Howard...looks like my season lies in the hands of back ups!)
