Not necessarily... do you have a source or are you just saying that because of the "projected starters" above?

If he is starting again it doesn't make much sense. Thomas is obviously the better goalie and he is healthy? now. Clemmer has played decent lately, but unless they are trying to trade Thomas, they should be rolling with Thomas if they want any chance of making the playoffs.

Sweet time!!! 11 pm here in sweden (and midnight in Finland) So lets celebrate new year here!!!

Raipe prices! "…and you're going to spend THAT kind of money on CHEAP SEATS while you didn't buy your daughter that ____ or ____!?"

lol thanks for the help brotha, sucks :/
I'm probably gonna drink enough to make me feel like I'm at the game while looking thru the 42". I don't drink anymore!

I didn't see your post! How much??

 

[TootooTrain]

What's the deal with Upshall? Was just getting in a groove. Serious injury?

Thomas hadn't recovered enough to start vs Wings or Habs. He was healthy enough to backup, but they didn't want to risk it. I think Thomas is starting today.

Upshall was ice cold with 1 point in his last 9 games. As for where he is, he sustained his usual LTI a couple weeks back. Can't stay healthy.
