Thoughts on Roloson @MTL tonight?

[Chicleteur]

Here\'s a quick one... Would you start him tonight @MTL?

This is an H2H league with the following categories:

GS, W, GAA, SV, SV%, SHO

I already got Ward\'s numbers from yesterday and I also have Nabokov, but I\'m not sure I will be able to rely on him this week.

My opponent has Gerber, Bryz and Halak.

Thanks in advance!

First, here\'s some news on Nabby :

There is currently no timetable for Evgeni Nabokov\'s return to the lineup.
He did not travel with the team on their current road trip that will see them play in Minnesota on Tuesday and in St. Louis on Thursday. \"It\'s better, but obviously it\'s going to take a couple more days to get 100 percent,\" Nabokov said. \"And that\'s my goal — make sure it\'s 100 percent when I step back on the ice. I\'m seeing improvements. I don\'t want to give any time frame because you really don\'t know.\" Naboknow has not played since Feb. 25 because of an undisclosed lower-body injury and the flu.

Personaly, I think Mtl will win tonight but I\'m pretty sure Rolly will have great stats in this game !

You should start him !

Last time the coach got fired, Gainey won 6-2 vs San Jose in his debut. I personally wouldn\'t play Roloson tonight.

I would take a chance on it myself. I don\'t see the Habs really lighting him up at all, I see it being a quality start for Roli. Having GS and SV as stats make it easier to try and get all the games in you can, especially with Nabby still up in the air.

[Chicleteur]

Thanks guys! Yeah, I\'m a bit afraid that the Habs will win this one, but I have to agree with you that Rollie should still post great numbers unless it\'s a total blowout. My first thought was to start him and I think I\'ll stick with this.

Thanks again!

There is a chance the Oilers may start JDD tonight. He is a Quebec kid and Rolie will need a break at some point.

That being said MacT seems willing to ride Rolie until he breaks down so I say 75% chance he starts. Still down from the 95% chance he starts any other game.

If it makes you feel any better, Chic, I\'m going to start Roloson. But I also have Kovalev and Pleks so I\'m hoping that either way I win.

I would start him too, with wards numbers from last night even if roloson has a bad game your numbers are gonna be decent for the week.. plus, like others have said, with you not getting your games from nabby this week you want to get as many starts and saves as you can, if anything you should be expecting montreal to fire a buttload of shots at him
