    Default Time to start benching Quick?

    As predicted in the daily rambling, LAs performance has taken a turn for the worst after they clinched a playoff spot.

    I have Bishop, Quick, & Dubnyk in my keeper league (W, GAA, SV, SV%, start 2 goalies daily). For years, my steadfast rule is always start Quick... if I don't, I always regret it. But that mentality almost lost me last weeks playoff matchup.

    Goalies are obviously my strength (12 team H2H cats), and many quality goalies often mean weaker forwards. So to simply stick to my other goalies may leave my team somewhat deficient.

    After a horrible 5 games, should I do the unthinkable and start leaving Quick on the bench?

    The moment you do is the moment that he reverts back to his play from two weeks ago. I already got bumped from my playoffs last week, largely due to Quick, but I would still be hesitant to bench him; especially with that Bishop shutout to sort of even out your stats from last night.

    You have three very good goalies and Bishop and Dubnyk are the ones that are hot right now.

    If all 3 of your goalies are playing on any given night going forward, I would have no hesitation playing Bishop and Dubnyk.

    This is kind of a cop out answer but it could be as simple as looking at the matchups. Maybe not play him against SJ like last night but when they play the Canucks he should be fine. All three goaltenders you have are very good, I'd never feel bad if I played the better matchup and it didn't work out.

    Any goalie playing the Flames should be an automatic start. Checking matchups can be a tricky game to play but sometimes you just have to go with a guy against garbage teams like that.
