YES!!!! Get Nihlstorp in there for the start against Vancouver and box out a win.
I know he's been pretty bad this year, I know that the Flyers scored 13 goals in the last 2 games, but am I crazy to start him tonight @PHI?
But before you tell me that I'm really crazy, here's a little bit of background info. Before the draft, my keepers were Schneider and Luongo and there's been a goalie rush right off the bat and was left with Theodore as the only remaining starter and I've been rotating my 4th goalie spot (we can only have 4 goalies on our roster since there's 14 teams in the league) since day 1 (right now it's MacDonald).
And to give you an idea of how hard it is to get a good goalie, here's who's left in the FA pool (ordered by FH pts they gave so far):
Montoya (on IR)
Irving (in the minor)
Johnson (in the minor)
Biron
Mrazek (in the minor)
Mason
Nilstorp
Danis (in the minor)
Boucher
Taylor
Rynnas
Gustavsson
Enroth
Leighton (on IR)
With 61 games remaining (we're using max. games) for my goalies and assuming I get all the VCR games, I still have to play another goalie for 28 games, so I'm kind of forced to play him most of the time. Sure I can pick up the matchups, but I need to make sure I can still play someone else (and believe me, I'm trying as I'm gambling with my 4th goalie spot when a team is on a back-to-back).
We get 3 pts for a W, -0.6 pts for each GA, 0.1 pts for each SV and 2 pts for a SO.
This being said, am I really, really crazy to play him tonight???

Fair enough, I actually didn't even look at the blurb at the end about your scoring system. Unless things really go awry there isn't much negative in starting any goalie. Still woulda been nice to box out the Van-Dallas game but no I don't think it's crazy to start The Odor tonight under this system.
your still crazy.

Well, Mason on Monday gave me a solid -2.4 pts... So yeah, there could be some negative!
To be honest, Theodore is on my bench for tonight and it was my intention to leave him there for the next few games (@PHI, @PIT, BOS and PIT in the next week).
Just wanted to see if there was some believer I guess! LOL!
I would sit him personally
For future reference, may want to consider Enroth as a "break glass in case of emergency" goalie. With Ruff no longer at Helm, he should see more starts.
@SmittysRant
Thanks Bomm! I'll definitely pay more attention to your Sabres now!
Haha! I'm sure he'll be giga angry!!!
Totally off topic, but that's the thing I hate about the new lottery. An already stacked team (you mentioned EDM, but let's say PIT for example) who missed the playoff by only 1 pts due to any injuries could get the top pick. Not totally fair to me.
