Start Lehner or Quick tonight?

Who to start tonight - Lehner or Quick? Quick seems the obvious start to me, especially with Philly on the west coast and back to back. But Lehner is playing against the inept Canadiens. Thoughts?

I'll go with Lehner.
PHI looked a little too good last night.

Back to back and west coast time zone plus isn't quick kind of the default until Lehner and Buffalo prove otherwise this year? I mean there's a chance he's a poor man's version of this year's Talbot or Andersen but I think I need to some proof first.

I can relate a bit as I drafted Lehner really late but looking ahead I can't justify starting him over bishop for the first 4 or 5 weeks given the schedule and that my league locks weekly. After that I'll reassess where he's at or if it looks like he's on pace for another 22 wins I'll likely drop him.

I'd go with Quick.

Another vote for Quick.

I'm in the same boat in a roto league.... I'm sitting them both for now until we see them in action.

Lehners stats weren't bad but Quick stole the show.

[Pengwin7]

Yeah, Quick was sensational.
I specifically didn't pick him because A.Martinez was injured and I worried about the three young LA D-men having lapses - but they played well too.
He's going to have to steal a lot of games for them though, because the LA offense didn't look good at all (IMO).
And PHI had an off-night on their PP. (10min of PP time! 10! And nothing to show for it on the score board! Props to the LA PK boys - who filled lanes fast & came out, I was impressed with that too.]

[FWIW - I though PHI looked solid, Quick just flat-out stole that one.]

Thanks. I took the majority result and went with Quick. Glad I didn’t lean the other way. Even though Lehner was solid.
