Another goalie start thread

[gfhyde]

Which goalies to start tonight, if any?

Luongo vs Chicago
Rinne @ Carolina
Or NONE.

I'm winning goalie stats this week and for the first time this year, and it's saving my bacon. Current match-up stats:

ME: 1W, 2L, 2.71GAA, .922SV%, 1SHO
HIM: 1W, 3L, 4.01GAA, .856SV%, 0SHO

He owns Halak, Bobrovsky and Brodeur.

Halak is the only one confirmed for tonight vs NJD.
Boucher is going tonight against Washington
Brodeur is out for 10 days

If Halak gets a win, we tie. If I get a loss, we tie. At best. The skater stats are all that close.

I shouldn't have a problem winning GAA or SV%, but Halak @ home against the lowly Devils worries me.

thx

I'd be worried about Halak @ home vs NJ too. I think Luongo at home vs Chicago is a decent matchup fo ryou...he has been phenomenal at home this season and has good historical numbers vs the Blackhawks. I'd start Luongo...

oh, my bad I thought u were asking who is starting

[gfhyde]

It's ok

I'm starting Luongo for sure now. The Nucks are deadly at home. Anyone think I should start Rinne?

I can tell you one guy that thinks you shouldn't = moi!

[gfhyde]

I always feel warm and fuzzy when Shoeless replies. OK Luongo in - Rinne out. Thanks guys.

[Shoeless]

LOL - well in this case I saw a Canes team really flying yesterday and likely hungry today, Ward is back in net - I honestly think the Preds will have a tough time coming up with a win. So it becomes a loss and I think you unnecessarily risk that cat - don't think the Hawks have a prayer against Lou - they have to be a mess today.

[gfhyde]

Too right. Those Canes can play when they feel like it.

Also - Suter out for the Preds. I think that means bad things immediately.

[gfhyde]

It looks like I played the exact wrong goalies tonight, Shoe.

[Shoeless]

Looks like I recommended exactly the wrong goalies tonight - man I didn't see that coming.

[gfhyde]

Me neither but I would have played them that way anyway. Sometimes that's just how it goes.

On a similar note - I played Rinne against the Leafs and he got shelled, then I benched him against Montreal and he got a shutout, then I benched him tonight. What's with that?!
