Looking for some thoughts on who to start for the week. Big road trip for Vancouver and not sure whether Luongo will even be starting. On the other hand, Brodeur is looking at some tough matchups. Either way there is one back to back for each of them so they miss at least one start. Thanks in advance for any insight.
Luongo - @Min, @Chi, @Dal, @Col
Brodeur - @NYR, @Ott, Tor, @Pit
Or should I pick up one of:
Varlamov - Cgy, @Pho, Van
Nabokov - @Tor, @TB, @Fla (one back to back)
Reimer - @Bos, NYI, @NJ, NYR
Neuvirth - @Det, @Phi, Wpg, Min

I would also go with lou here, but would expect only three starts. Brodure schedule for nyr, ottawa and pits could have 3 loses.

I would be inclined to pick up Varlamov. The kid is riding on the hottest streak of his entire life and he is no slouch either. He faces over 40 shots a night and comes out big against the NYR with 40+ saves and a win. NYR is no pushover so you can imagine. It was also a road game at that.
Luongo is not the problem right now. The team itself is just lazy and is playing with no heart at all. Kesler is quiet for most nights and the twins have only recently snapped out of their scoreless slump. They gave up 3 goals to a Columbus Blue Jackets and that was shameful even though they came out with a win it was a very ugly one. I am confident that Luongo will get his starts back now that we know it's not the goaltending issue but the team's defensive play that's what's lacking right now.

Dang. Schneider gets the start tonight. Looks like Lu will only get two starts this week. Really tempted to pick up Varlamov to at least get three starts. Or maybe I should just grab Schneider... Ugh ugly decisions this week.
