Budaj or Kipper

[freeze31]

Hi All,
Finals of my h2h matchup and the goalie stats are still on the line. We are tied in wins, i'm ahead in gaa, behind in saves by 40, just behind in sv% and tied in shutouts.

I've got Crawford, Kipper and Budaj all playing tonight. Figure I need the best chance for wins, gaa, sv% and shutout. Saves are a lost cause unless a few of his goalies get rested for the playoffs.

So Crawford against the wild makes sense, but then do I play the better goalie in Kipper against the Canucks, or Budaj against the worse team.

Leaning towards Kipper, but willing to listen to thoughts.

I would definitely go with Kipper. Budaj is alright but he does not play often and this will be his first b2b of the season.

I am having the same issue. I have two goalie starts tonight, and I have Kipper, Lou, Crawford, and Neuvirth. I had planned on playing Kipper and Lou to cement the win. But now with Lou on the pine, I don't feel to confident starting Kipper. So now I'm thinking Crawford is a no brainer, and Neuvirth is the better option. But in your case, I dont know if I could put any trust in Budaj, especially on the backside of a back to back. Kipper should be the lesser of the two evils. Is there any chance you could pick up a better option on the wire, like Rolly, Montoya, Biron, Bishop...
