No mixing.
Play Kinkaid like the backup and Cory like the starter, barring a huge drop off in Cory’s play and a huge uptick in Keith’s play.
If we throw him in against the Caps and Cory is healthy, we’re really testing our luck and I’ll maintain that even if he plays well. We have a back to back against Detroit and Boston on Monday/Tuesday night’s. Play Keith against the Wings and he plays tomorrrow if Cory is still ill.
Edit - Oh, you’re a Flyers fan, that explains that. That’s why you think we should “Mix” our usage of goalie.
At the end of the day - this is what everyone should believe. It just makes sense.
That said - I have no problem riding Kinky for a game or two in a row here or there. His hatred is unwarranted. the 11 'stoppable' goals are really more like 6 max. As I've said before, the goalies are the victims here. Kinkaid had what some pointed out as 'bad' games but he really was playing great despite the terrible stats. The goals against were mainly on deflections, cross-slot passes, breakaways and backdoor tap-ins. He had a couple sub-.900 games because the team in front of him played sub-.900 team defense.
Then Cory had his turn with a couple of games that look terrible on paper, but that he really wasn't bad in at all.
When you've given up 5 in consecutive games, I expect a few extra bad goals on top because of frustration and trying to do too much and changing your angles.
The only worry here is if Cory gets off of his game, because angles are so important to his game. That could lead to prolonged struggles.
Cory will be back next time - and if the team plays decent defense in front of him, he'll be back to form.
Team could really use a few practice days in a row - the bye week helped no one.
