Pick 2 for tonight: Bryz / Halak / Backstrom

[havanablast21]

I've checked Daily Faceoff and Leftwinglock and no confirmation yet today on starting goalies.

Regardless:
I expect Elliot to start over Halak. If so...

Would you start Backstrom (who may be bumped for Harding)

Would you start Bryz (who likely WILL start, but has been less than impressive?)

Or sit out all?

elliott is definitely starting

from what i understand it was his turn even before what happened last night

Yeah, that's what I heard too...LeftWingLock is claiming Halak will start based on a Tweet yesterday morning. I doubt last night's game would change that.

Should I start Bryz? Or do I need to sit him down to see if he's going to figure things out? (ofcourse the minute I sit him...he'll pitch a 35 save shoutout.). Only a matter of time before Philly gets a win right?

i have gotten into the habit of just starting my guys if they are playing as i have gotten caught leaving a shutout on the bench before trying to be cute

also if i get your scoring right he is a 0 after two games so i am not sure i see a negative out of him at worst another 0

i mean i dont know if you have a limited number of starts or something to content with however if not i would think that there is a greater chance he puts up something than negative

Good Point. He is a 0...that's from a slight - and a slight +. I'm rolling the dice and expecting his first decent game tonight (watch them start Leighton)

I'm hoping Backstrom gets the back to back too.

id rather start a 4-5 goals against average than bench a shutout.
start brizz and elliot.

Thanks. I don't have Elliot, but I will start Bryz.

Elliott as firm
Bryz as probable
no mention Wild's starter

In your setup I would pretty much always be looking to maximize out my starts (Is there a max starts?) because the average start is going to score points, even a bad game with a win is a nice chunk. I've thought Bryz looked pretty solid so far, against Pens he had good stats only giving up the pair. Against Buffalo I thought he looked decent, Vanek did undress him but brutal play by Philly D letting Vanek in alone, a few bad bounces as well I'm not concerned from what I've seen.

If you can wait until closer to game time to set your lineup check back to goaliepost and start whoever is listed as firm/probable. At this moment I'd start Bryz and Backstrom as Halak is most likely out anyways.
