How to decide whether to bench? (Niemi)
This week so far I have these stats:3 w 75s 0so 1.622gaa .9375sv%
I have lundqvist (dtd right now), niemi and emery.
vs my opponents 1 45 0 2.516 .9000
he has pavelec and nabokov
niemi has been crapping the bed lately, letting in tons of goals in last 6 games (4/4/3/3/3) with only one win.
he faces off against an edmonton team coming off 3 straight wins.
should I bench niemi or play him, hoping that he'll have a solid game?
opponent has 7 more opportunities this week to play (pavelc/nabokov, though a day off or two will happen)
