I agree they will start Helly but what if he is less than average in game 3? I know it his 99.9% unlikely they would start Brossoit but part of me wants to see what would happen if they did.
I would have to agree with this. Helle has not shown he can play well in playoff games at all, so why not start Brossoit ? I like the idea. In my opinion, Helle let in 2 very soft goals, one off the faceoff, and went right thru his pads, and the other he got caught coming out of his net, which he's not very good at.
The other thing I'd change is I'd play Perfetti, over Toffoli. Just by recent memory, Cole has been scoring quite regularly over the last 6-8 games he's played, and I'd say he's been quite hot. Why not play him, as Toffoli looked quite invisible tonight.
Also Ehlers has to step up his intensity a lot. He just looked like a regular player out there, and not driving the play like he usually does. I think it's critically important for Ehlers to step up his play, if we're going to win this series. He's a key guy for us.
