Sent Gorman out with a win, might as well do it with Jack too!
Is there a local feed for some of these playoff games? Is it still NESN? I may need to finally try a VPN service if that's the case. You know, for security purposes.
I really think it's a no brainer. If you switch now and something bad happens, you'll certainly second guess more than if you stick with Sway.
But what if he gives up 5 tonight?
So. Close to worst case scenario. He hasn't given any indication that would happen, otherwise I would switch.
What is this 7 you speak of?
This has been my thinking too. Worst case you’d have a well rested Swayman for 7
Exactly. If Sway starts tonight, it's clearly evident there is no longer a rotation. We're back to old school one goalie playoff hockey.
I dont think the question is "can swayman play 6/7 games?" I think it's "can he play 3 games in 5 nights better than playing 2 games in 5 nights + Ullmark playing the middle one?"
Why is it a bad thing? Sway has been excellent. This isn't a situation where a goaltender is playing poorly.
It would seem that way. And maybe it’s inevitable. But given that goaltending is a huge strength of this team, and they rotated all season. I’d keep doing what got them to this point, contrary to most predictions.
They made changes last game (on D and F, not G) and it cost them. I don't like tinkering when things are working and right now Swayman in net is working. (Which isn't to say that Ullmark couldn't perform the same.)
I don't necessarily think that's true, I just think that Swayman has played out of his mind against Toronot all season, so they are rolling with it. I suspect we see them go back to the rotation after winning tonight.
Dont get me wrong I hear you...but this is one situation where I truly believe it's six in one half a dozen the other type thing. There are very valid & reasonable arguments to be made for either guy starting in goal tonight. I (very slightly) lean towards wanting Ullmark in net tonight.
