    Default Start or Sit Bryzgalov

    I have Bryz, Quick and Neuvirth starting tonight. I'm not liking Bryzgalov's chances tonight against TB. I know the golden rule is to start your studs but I'm thinking about benching him to start Neuvirth against TOR. What do you think?

    Given your scoring setup you have to maximize goalie starts that give you best chance of getting a win. Tampa has been on fire averaging 5 goals a game and look amazing while Philly is really struggling.

    I'd much rather start Neuvirth vs. Toronto and Quick vs. Columbus (automatic start IMO).

    I echo above. When you have alternatives, don't play Bryz against this potent offense...atleast not tonight.

    I'm in the same boat tonight in my roto keeper below.

    I've started Bryz every game so far. Same with Luongo and Hedberg. A spot start or two for Harding and Holtby too. That approach has me leading my league in GAA and a close second in Save%. Middle of the pack in Wins so far.

    I know TB is leading the league in scoring. And they smoked the Flyers down in Tampa already. And the Flyers are all beat up. But Bryz has really been spectacular so far, standing on his head and keeping the Flyers in games they've had no right being in. What a difference from last year.

    I am leaning toward the old Chris Nichols fantasy goalie mantra: Start Your Studs.

    If I was in a roto league I don't think I would be starting him.

    I am, but I'm in a H2H league and my opponent had Ward's amazing start last night and I got hit with Varly's 3 goal game...so I don't have much to lose at this point.
