    Default Pick a winner: Rinne @ NYR or Smith vs MIN. REP!!

    Pekka coming off a shut out and Rangers looking pretty bad, so leaning towards riding the hot hand. I sat out his SO last game so don't want to get burned again.

    BUT, Calgary dynamite at home and Minny has half a roster at the moment

    What say you?

    It has to be Smith at home versus Minnesota's AHLish squad. I saw Rangers v Isles last night and Rangers are looking pretty awful, but they are desperate and driving the net hard and they are going to explode at some point and put 7 up on some poor goalie.

    Can I guess neither? That's where I would put my money but if you need to start one, I would go with Rinne.

    Start one, I favor Rinne as well. Certainly room for debate though. Good luck.

    Goalies are a wash for me, but NYR seem like the weaker opponent so I'll go with them, even considering the circumstances of the Wild and the b2b.

    I could see Saros getting the game against the Rangers. See who starts, I bet one of them ends up sitting.

    F me still torn

    Thinking Smith at home vs Minny is the smart bet but my gut is saying ride the Pekka train. Might have to break out the coin

    Any last opinions? Gotta set my roster before noon

    If you can wait until 12:05 for Rinne/Saros to be confirmed, then do that.
