He did the job he was supposed to do but to you he should sit because he wasnt challenged to the degree you thought he should have been challenged?
How exactly is it Fasth's fault that he wasnt 'challenged'?
Thats like saying a players goals dont matter as much because it wasnt against the other teams best dmen so he wasnt 'challenged'.
I'm not saying it was Fasth's fault. What I'm saying is that if you look at Fasth's time in Edmonton and not just the last 2 games. You'd see that he's NOT a number 1 goalie. He shat the bed tonight, and he's shat the bed on many other nights. He's never shown an ability to make game saving saves like Scrivens has. My point is that if management was smarter they would have made the decision that Fasth is the number 2 goalie EARLIER. And if you are the number 2 goalie, 1 solid game + another solid game you STILL sit for the Number 1 goalie regardless.
This WHOLE question of "Who's earned a stay at number 1?" shouldn't even exist! It only exists because management is forcing this 1A/1B illusion on themselves and the fans.
MAYBE it's too early for everyone to see that. But not to my eyes. And I think time will show that this is the case.
