    Default Rinne vs Niemi

    Sharks vs preds tonight

    I need to sit one of them. Sj has been on a slump and Nsh has been playing well, except for the last game.

    I'm leaning towards niemi but would like some input.

    Who would you start?

    Rinne. He's a stud. Niemi? Eh, not so much. Play the stud.

    I would normally go with the stud here, but I really think San Jose beats Nashville tonight so I go with Niemi this time.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Rinne has only lost once in his last 5 games and it was to the undefeated Blackhawks, his number over that period astounding:

    4-1-0
    1.16 GAA
    .958 S%
    1 SO

    There is no reason in the world not to roll with the hot hand

    I'd roll with Rinne as well, he's been on fire.

    As expected, Marleau/Thornton have virtually disappeared after a torrid start.

    Starting Rinne is the right choice.

    I haven't done the calculations but would it help/hurt you more if you started both, guaranteeing the win and sitting Anderson? This is assuming you start two? (which should you add to your signature, as with all positions)

    Thought of that but I gambled with starting Anderson against buffalo tonight. Thanks for the tips!

    Bet you are happy about that gamble!! Good job taking Rinne too (Niemi didn't do too shabby either). Two shutouts, you must be stoked.

    Poor Niemi. The guy has given up 1 goal in the last six and half periods of hockey, has no wins to show for it, and (rightfully) gets relegated to your bench as a result. Too funny -- but hey, times are tough!
