Need Help, Start Niemi or Hiller

[fringant]

Hi Everyone,

I am in a very tight race and would like to know who to start for the rest of the season, stay with Niemi or go with Hiller. If I change for Hiller he has to stay on for the rest of the season. Our pool rewards goal against and save%. Hiller has been better lately but I am scare that the fact they are out of playoff races will affect the team goals against.

thanks for your advices.

Wow, really tough question, as Hiller has been far and away much better than Niemi over the course of the past month. That being said though your concern is legitimate as San Jose is fighting for a playoff spot and has a lot more to play for.

I think I'd roll the dice on Niemi and hope that San Jose finds that other gear, as I don't feel that they've been playing their best hockey either. Historically Niemi has been very solid going into the final games in April so he could possibly turn it around as soon as tonight.

Good luck!
