He still might...but we're still 3 weeks away from the playoffs so I can't imagine they want Vas rusty.
Title says it all...if TB has wrapped up President trophy why risk injury to Vasy...should Louie not start most games down stretch?

That and the fact they're chasing history. I imagine that has a little sway in it.

I think GMs and coaches need to feel they are "in a groove" or "rolling" when playoffs come.
Rest is important, true.
But pace is important as well.
If you look at TB's schedule this year, it's basically 3-5 Vas (when healthy), then Domingue.
TB has 8 games left, and Vas has just done 5 straight, with 50+sv last night.
So the end will probably go like this:
Mar 21 @ CAR: Domingue
Mar 23 @ STL: Vas
Mar 25 v BOS: Vas
Mar 30 v WAS: Vas
Apr 1 @ OTT: Domingue
Apr 2 @ MON: Vas
Apr 4 @ TOR: Vas
Apr 6 @ BOS: Domingue
My guesses.
ESPN is a nice site for team schedule (TB here), as you can see the goalie-pattern for a team.
Thanks guys. Slipped my mind about the history year too.
