biggest factor in balancing playing time between montoya and lundqvist will be whether or not the nhl is back...if the nhl is back there is a good chance that lundqvist will jump directly to ny and leave hartford for montoya
Even if they don't. 35 appearances is about normal for an NCAA goaltender.Levitate said:if they split games evenly, yes. but who knows if they'd do that.
wewotti said:I can't see who you like to be your startie in the NHL if Lundqvist just going to Hartford. Mike Dunham did also play in Sweden this year in a pretty strong team trying to qualify for the SEL. His numbers were 3.29 GAA and 0.886 % as the team failed to take the step up to SEL, he let in 17 goals in the last three games.
And while Lundqvist being the best goalie in regular season and crushing in PO against the likes of Miika Kiprusoff, Jose Theodore, Martin Gerber, Manny Fernandez, Tommy Salo, Pasi Nurminen, (and with few games) Marty Turco and Brian Boucher I think he has proven that he should fight for a starting place against Weekes or Dunham.
He's 31 years old, which explains why he gets no hype and no love.fredez said:Interesting :

"He's a really good goalie and covers a lot of net," says Swedish hockey hero Peter Forsberg. "I think he's ready, I think he was ready this year. I saw him the first time in Finland in the World Championship, and I was like, who's this guy? He should be playing (in the NHL)."
In a playoff semifinal featuring three NHL goaltenders, he battled vigilantly against Jose Theodore, who complimented the young goalie's style. "He only needs good experience," said Theodore. In another goaltending duel, he outplayed Martin Gerber to win the gold.
