No fricking way, he was locked in all game!

 

[TaLoN]

Better not be!

Dude. It's Evason!

 

[TaLoN]

Dude. It's Evason!

Yeah, but seriously? Even HE can't make that mistake!

It's russo guessing, he's not the best guesser... nothing is confirmed at this point.

I hope you're right. But Russo was on KFAN yesterday predicting that Gus would get the start. I'm wondering if he picked up some new info today that made him change his mind.

I honestly don't think starting MAF would be the worst idea. Starting a fresh goalie wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. Especially with how long game 1 lingered on.

Edit: I'm not championing MAF to start, but would understand the reasoning.

I get the reasoning....but my fear is that MAF will give up a couple of softies in the 1st period and we won't be able to recover.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I think Deano really wants this to be an every othe split

 

[NHL1674]

I will say this.....one thing that Evason really struggles with is stopping the bleeding if a goalie is struggling during a game. It's been documented how he absolutely hates pulling guys. He'll leave them out there well past 5-6 goals. This is the postseason. If either of our crease monkeys were to drop the ball early on, you yank them while there is still time to get back in the game! Now is not the time to just throw the game and let them work themselves out of it.

I mean if they at least want some sort of split, you better find out fast whether Fleury has anything in the tank.

I prefer to let a goalie run until he shows cracks in that case.

Don't pull him after a win... if we lose this one? Go with Flower friday

This must be some kind of ruse, a Russo ruse. Mindgames.
You just don´t sit a goalie after such a performance. You don´t.
Do you? It can´t be!

I was confident they were going to rotate, but you have to give Gus Game 2 after what he did in the first game.

 

[AKL]

Gus sets franchise record for most saves in a playoff game
Fleury gets the start next game

[guitarhunterdude]

Pure deanius

(Deanius doesn't sound as much like genius as I was hoping, just like Dean but... vaguely Roman?)

 

[MNRube]

don’t do it, Dean

 

[Bdub]

No coach in the history of the NHL has pulled a hot goalie in the playoffs. If crappie starts the game will be over after the first period.

 

[AKL]

Maybe Russo's just trolling us

 

[JBurd1]

I really hope Gus gets the start. I might sneak in a small nap prior to puck drop so I can properly function tomorrow.
