    Default Frustrated with all these goalies today.

    Seriously, Andersen has the 2nd most wins, has been playing lights out, and now Gibson is starting again? WTF is up with this.

    Secondly, Why is it always the stupid backups playing the sexy teams like buffalo, florida, etc. Why NOT start Rask tonight against Buffalo to get his confidence up a little after a shaky start. FFS!

    Thirdly, to a lesser extent frustrated with this one as Jones is expected to get the start instead of Quick, but still. It's hard to believe with my goalies that NONE would be starting tonight.

    RIDICULOUS!!

    end of mini rant.

    I'm happy as a gibson owner. Anaheim is just so good, they can win with both goalies. Imagine if anderson started the season opener against the pens and got blown out too. If that happened I could see gibson winning all those games anderson won too. One blowout basically cost gibson weeks of playing time. The situation could have easily been reversed. I don't really know how the goaltending battle will eventually shape up, but if it's play till you lose, then I see both goalies going on long runs each.

    These things happen VV - looks like Gibson tonite.
    Not the first time back-ups play the weak sisters and won't be the last. Been happening for years.
    Hopefully you don't have minimum weekly start.

    I don't have minimum starts, my league is roto with weekly rosters changes and 2 active goalies. No big deal for me, I'm rolling with Andersen and Kuemper for the year and will take whatever wins and sv% I get. Still believe Andersen will start at least 60% of the starts and with the way Aneheim is rolling, that could be 30 wins, which is just fine.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    How about owning Crawford AND Raanta, having Crawford in your linup last week with ZERO starts, then starting Raanta this week hoping for at least 2 starts only to have DARLING???? steal the starts away...

    Ya...pretty awesome

    That sucks. These days you need to get the back-up to the back-up to ensure you get starts

    Well, last year was the season of the backup and, while alot of that was due to injuries, teams definitely like having two goalies and using them both. This is why handcuffs are valuable and why folks draft valuable backups to either block other owners or hold out for a trade or help their own G cats
