Start Tonight? Lehtonen at NAS or Anderson at TB

**AFlyers66** · January 17, 2009, 3:44 PM

Why oh why does Trotz keep giving Dan Ellis starts?!? Rinne is The Man.

So Clemmer starting against the Isle is No Brainer.

But who should I go with:

K.Lehtonen starting for ATL in Nashville

or

C.Anderson finally back in net for FLA in TB

I think I would go with Anderson in TB. He has had excellent numbers (including a shutout) against them this season. Plus, Anderson\'s road numbers are better than his home.

I am actually starting Anderson over a very hot Ty Conklin in SJ...do team score more at home than SJ, and no team scores more on the road than Det. (Now watch it become a low-scoring game

)

Thanks, shook, good call.

I think SJ will try to get some revenge on the visiting Wings tonight. Remember that 6-0 skunking in DET the other week? I\'m sure Coach McLellan does! :blink:

Hossa and Datsyuk are my team\'s Big Dogs, so I\'m hoping for a wild 8-6 affair, with all goals scored on the PP!

:woohoo:

I\'m taking the Thrashers tonight on my betting ticket. Great odds (+180 or something) and I think Peverley wants to burn his former club.

I\'d play Lehtonen tonight. the Bolts offense has kicked it in to gear lately.

since nashville is gonna walk away with the win, it would only make sense to sit lehtonen.

anderson at tampa would be my pick

and shook you would be silly to start conklin in san jose, because osgood is confirmed

**JIMMAY** · January 17, 2009, 6:23 PM

looks like shook was maybe right. sportsnet has conks starting at SJ.

**Dutch** · January 17, 2009, 6:32 PM

ya i see goaliepost changed osgood from firm to probable, so who knows. if sportsnet says conks, than it could possibly conks. weird

**JIMMAY** · January 17, 2009, 6:50 PM

now its back to osgood. i would say its safe to assume it will be either osgood or conks starting. :laugh:

Atlanta is making me look very smart (and a bit richer) so far!

talk about a prediction... peverley has 2 points and lehtonen has stopped everything he\'s seen.

people... don\'t doubt angus

You guys should have seen these results coming though... nashville has struggled offensively lately, while tampa bay really has been firing on all cylinders lately (I think they\'ve won 3 of their last 4 or something).

Took your advice, Angus, You are The Man!

Kari\'s up 4-0 after one, Anderson got rocked and run.

Clemmer\'s got a shutout going thru 2, so my goalies are gold so far tonight!

Gosh... don\'t you know that as soon as you TALK about a goalie of yours having a shutout so far, you jinx him into giving up at least a goal?

Both of these guys let in a goal after you posted this...

:dry:

One of the few times I will thank the Thrashers this season!

I hear you on that one, Angus! Great call.

I did pick up Peverley right now on a hunch, ride the wave and see what happens....he\'s scorching right now playing with Kovie.
