Playoff Week 1 Goalie Starts

[JIMMAY]

Which two do you like better?

Rinne vs @Pho, @SJ, @LA, @Ana
Halak vs. @Chi, @Car, @TB
Bryz vs. NJ, @NYI, @Bos, Pit

Right now, I'm leaning to Rinne and Bryz just bc of # of games played. There are some tough road matches for all the goalies this week (minus the TB). Or do I do something crazy and start Bryz/ Halak based on the blues road play.... and hope Elliot does not steal a game (no daily changes). Any help would be great!

Hey,

Got a similar dilemma....for playoff.

In your case, I would go with Rinne and Bryz.

Brys is hot, few SO and will probably play 3 games.
Rinne will probably also play 3 games.
Has for Halak, chances are he would play 2.

So even though Halak and St-Louis are doing very good, I would keep my odds with goalies playing 3 games vs 2.

You got lucky as the NYR only play 3 times and VAN only plays twice so max 5 stars from your opponent. You have to play Bryz considering how hot he has been lately and 3 shutouts in last 4 games player. Rinne would be my next choice because as mentioned above he plays 4 games and who know if Halak get all 3 starts or just 2 or even 1. Also St. Louis has been dominant at home but not so muhc on the road and all 3 STL starts are road games.

Go with Rinne and Bryz (who coincidentally are my starters for this week as well )

For the record, I would start Halak and Rinne. I think Halak will get all three starts this week.
