I'd happily own Montoya. I wouldn't read too much into this.
They have to be showcasing Nabby, I think. It is surprising that RDP is back so soon after getting his bell rung again though.
Nabokov starting tonight for New York DiPietro to back up.
Glad I dont own any Isles goalies

RETIRED
Yep, Nabby being showcased. Montoya is the man. DiPietro will get hurt tonight. Even though he's the backup. He'll break a finger lacing his skates.

Dobber, I'm hoping your right about Montoya. I'm holding onto him hoping he's the starter for the season in my Strained Resources league. I have Rolly, who is killing me at the moment, and the guy who has Garon is fishing for Montoya straight up. I won't bite. So, Montoya better hang in there.

I wouldn't take it too lightly. It is complicated there. If you have to rely on Montoya for starts, this is terrible news IMO.
Goldman writes about Montoya being a rhythm goalie. He didn't play particularly well in his last start after sitting. Now he's in the press box waiting.
Would it really shock anyone if RD starts the next game? I wouldn't be now. I figured Montoya tonight for sure. What if Nabokov gets hot and wins a few straight...then RD gets a turn and he has a good game and plays again...I could go on. Point is, I haven't a clue what to expect as far as Montoya starts. Maybe 4 over the next 2 weeks, maybe 1. Pretty tough.
I may be wrong but having Price and Ward has given me a little leeway so I'm taking a gamble and dropping Montoya for Markstrom. I've got Markstrom fever. I don't think anyone in my league is gonna grab Montoya any time before the situation is a little more settled.
Head to Head League: 1 point for G, 1 point for A. 2 for Goalie win, 3 for SO.
Start 6 guys every week. 3 O, 2 D and 1G. No substitutions once they are in (before the first game starts on Monday).
Protect 3 players every year in keeper.
