    Default Start Varly or not?

    Close goalie stats this week.

    Me W:2 GAA:2.11 SV%:.926 SHO:0
    Opp W:4 GAA:2.15 SV%:.923 SHO:0

    He has Lundqvist confirmed to start, and I have Varlamov (unconfirmed the last I checked).

    Do I sit Varly and hope that Lundy doesn't improve his stats, or play him and just hope he does better? Thanks!

    Personally.. i'd sit Varly... but this is going to up to you in the end... those are tight stats. Lundqvist career stats vs. WAS are not good, if that helps any... but at the same time, WAS isn't the same team in the last few weeks.

    That's sticky. If not for the shutout category I'd say sit him cuz you've set a nice bench mark and why risk losing the save percentage battle but you could snake a shutout and that's enough for me to gamble. Your fate is pretty much tied to whether or not the Caps win or lose any how but with a possible shutout to gain I think it's worth your while.

    LWL has Varly confirmed now. Man this is right on the line here, in the end I'd roll the dice and start Varly. I'd rather risk a loss because I started Varly rather than risk a loss because I kept him benched. That's just me though, but good luck no matter which way you decide to go.

    Thanks guys. It is tough, what I think it comes down to is if I play him, WAS needs to beat NYR. If I don't play him, then WAS would still need to score more than 2 goals on Lundqvist.

    I know what you mean NoWayOut, last Sunday I sat Halak to insure GAA and SV%, but if I would have played him I could have tied wins too. Ussually don't like sitting goalies.

    Well if things stay this way then you were screwed either way but at least you took a shot. Now if the Caps come back and score 3 then maybe whoops comes into play.

    Yes, I did start him and you are right. At least this way it ended all doubt early!

    Shit the bed...wow he stopped a grand total of 13 shots!!! Hell he should have let them in too... 7-0 ... 20-0 ... what the hell is the difference?

    Come on Bruce, Neuvrith is the man...check out the teams W column when Varly didn't muddle up the starting goalie BS. Get him back in there every night!!
