Rarely ask - which two to start?

[horrorfan]

I have a decision to make for tonight's starters and thought I might as well seek input from the Dobber community.

It's a one year roto, with goalie categories being W, GAA and SV. We have max games but I'm well under pace so I'm starting two of the three no matter what. Here are the options:

Anderson at Carolina
Luongo vs Calgary
Johnson at Florida

If I were to look at matchups only, I'd probably lean towards Anderson (1) and Luongo (2). The latter is less about Luongo's recent performance and more about having a home start against a team on the second game of a back to back.

That being said, if I ignore matchups, I could go with Luongo and Johnson to get a guaranteed win. The category is tight and I'm in the title race so this would be a safer option, rather than risk two losses/wins. Also, my win rate per game is just over 0.5 so this would pretty much keep it the same.

I'm not focusing on GAA, which is less certain regardless of the choice.

What say you, and why? The reason is just as important as the choice, if not more.

I'd go for the gold - Andy and Luongo, two very winnable matchups.

I'd be afraid of Johnson getting lit by a team that's had a relatively hot run recently.

Agree with this. Go for the double win.

Earlier today I saw that Eddie Lack was starting for Carolina and that 25 year old Klas Dalbeck was the older Dman dressing for the Canes tonight. I instantly thought guaranteed win night for Ottawa. Anderson has to be one of the two.

As for the second goalie you have to go on match-up. Calgary is playing game 3 in 4 nights. They are two time zones away from home and they played last night. Give me the Panthers here.

Anderson and Luongo!

I also agree with blayze's assessment.

You've all sold me, thanks.

Annnnd this is why nobody should ever follow my lead when it comes to goalie advice! What a bust of a night lol

[Moses]

Never ask me again!!! Lol

Why did I listen to all of you? Haha. Anderson's 41 saves was some consolation at least.
