Tell me I'm crazy. I'm going to sit Rask

[als_revenge]

Unless Rask is in a coma, you play him.

If he is in a coma, and playing, well - then you still play him.

[horrorfan]

Just so I look like a genius if I get it right:

Calgary 4 Washington 3.

If I'm wrong, then it's expected.

I'm just going to leave this here:

Rask - W - 32/33 = .970S%
Halak - W - 23/25 = .920S%
Holtby - (pulled) - 3/8 = .727S%

Sure I agree, that's why I said to sit Holtby.

Ahh so close! At least my sitting Holtby suggestion panned out. (this time)

What have we learned from this?

ALWAYS start the top 5 goalies in the league.

Crazy!

There is not other goalie (Rask) that I trust more. Not even Lundqvist, Rinne, Niemi, etc...

As far as I`m concerned, Rask and Quick are the two most reliable goalies, not only because of their skills but because of the defense that plays in front of them.

DAMN You Mcgoo! lol Nicely done though. Who knew Holtby could suck so bad?!

[lektrix]

You should never sit a decent goalie playing at home. That's just stupid.

I ended up starting Rask and Holtby. Who knew the Flames had that in them? I still think Holtby is in line for a strong year. Hoping 37W 5SO. That would still ranking him in the top 5 for my league setup. But having Halak as my backup plan seems to look alright. I'll probably wait a bit, but it may be time to drop Hiller soon.

ugggh I'm sorry dude, but like Dobber I'm probably only right 52% of the time, I was right this time but could be wrong next time round... (or cursed by bondon maybe...)

Definitely don't underestimate Halak though (as I type this he's pitching a 7-0 Shutout)...he is a very talented goalie on a strong defensive team that gives him a lot of support. His only downside is that he gets injured sometimes so just keep an eye on that, if he's healthy he's a great start 9 times out of 10, if he's injured not so much!

Holtby had a shitty first month last year if I recall correctly but once he got warmed up he was lights out...you might want to keep that in mind for your starts this season...good luck dude
