Start Tonight..Backstrom,Conklin or Luongo?

[sakic19]

I need to start 2 of the 3...Luongo seems like a lock and so does Conklin since he\'s playing vs LA. But how can I bench a guy like Backstrom?

Any advice?

Wow, you\'ve got a problem I\'m sure many GM\'s would love.

I don\'t see how you can go wrong with any of these 3 tonight. I might actually think to bench Luongo as it\'s his first game back. I\'m playing him in my league but if I had the option of Conklin and Backstrom, I don\'t know what I\'d do. Plus they\'re all playing weaker opponents. I\'d lean towards Backstrom and Conklin just for tonight but I totally understand if you\'d rather play Luongo.

i got luongo, conklin and nabokov and have to choose 2. conklin is playing the easiest oppenent la out rather than pehonix and calgary, but im going with the two best goalies nabby and luoi

I\'m in favour of benching Luongo, how sharp can he be after over a month on the shelf. Backstrom is also too good to sit and I\'d probably be willing to dress my 5 year old nephew against LA\'s underwhelming offense.

I\'d bench Backstrom. Edmonton has turned up the offense lately.

Goalies are such a crapshoot though, maybe flip a coin!

wowww i had to make the exact same decision as you!!!
ended up playing bongo and backstrom...

BOOO CONKLIN AHHH

I got caught up in work and didnt come back to check this post and found out the hard way how right you guys were. I started Luongo and Conklin and well Luongo got smashed and Backstrom had the easy win. Thanks alot for the help guys, I\'ll have more of these hard descions coming up, especially when Brodeur returns.
