think starting thursday is beneficial to caps. gets oshie and beagle an extra day
I rather not lose game 1 just to prove a point
Experimenting when we don't have to is giving Holtby Game 1 and then wondering which Holtby will show up. You, like Trotz, have your arrogant dinosaur favorites and you'll spite yourself time and time again to adhere to these convictions.OK so let's experiment in the playoffs when we don't have to. I'd rather go with the more experienced guy. I don't care about development at this point in the season. I want the lineup that gives us the best chance to win. Development is for the regular season.
You will be one of these guys crying for Vrana and Gersich to get a lot of playing time in the playoffs too.
It is experimenting. Grubauer has virtually no playoff experience. Sorry but I trust Holtby more than Grubauer in big games. Grubauer has played so few big games.Experimenting when we don't have to is giving Holtby Game 1 and then wondering which Holtby will show up.

That's kind of unprecedented (?), though. I do get the consideration that Grubauer may stand a better chance against Pittsburgh but they can't really afford to look past Columbus either. Starting Grubauer throughout may be the right call if he can carry the crown but there are some technical issues I'd be concerned about in terms of rebound control in light of their net area defense in general. There's some concern with both goaltenders managing to navigate around traffic as well so I don't know that the position is quite the strength they may believe it to be. We'll see.Maybe just keep alternating them unless one guy really craps out.

I dont know man. I dont trust holtby for one second in big games. Sick of the flukey untimely goals that deflate the team. Sick of other goalies outplaying him year after year im every series besides the boston one. Look and murray in pitts. Did he have experience. He does now with two cups in two years. They should give the job to gruby. He has earned it.It is experimenting. Grubauer has virtually no playoff experience. Sorry but I trust Holtby more than Grubauer in big games.

Actually Holtby has had a lot of flukey goals go in against him in big games. Like I said we will see what happens. I'm worried about our goaltending going into the playoffs. Maybe Grubauer is the right choice.I dont know man. I dont trust holtby for one second in big games. Sick of the flukey untimely goals that deflate the team.

You would seriously switch goalies for game 2 after winning game 1 with a strong goaltending performance? Not going to happen
Has anything else worked for this team?
No. Neither has putting Beagle on the power play.
You know that's not even close to the same thing.
