Which Goalie?

Hey guys I'm in a fantasy hockey WCOH pool...

Goalies Picked Already:
Brodeur
Esche
Vokoun
Kiprussoff
Tellqvist

Should I pick DiPietro with my upcoming pick? Do you think he'll play in any games for the US?

Thanks in advance!

if you want a starter, kolzig should play every minute

but then again, if you want a goalie who wont face a million shots, dipietro or salo are probably the backups with the most chance of starting

TML, I don't think Dipietro will see too much time...

.I do think that Ilya Bryzgalov could end up having a decent tourney..He's the only Russian GK with appreciable NorAm experience so look for him to get the nod and perhaps put up some solid if unspectacular numbers, maybe a chance for some spectacular ones if the Russians get far...

Jan Lasak might be the best goalie in this tourney that no one's heard about. with guys like Zdeno Chara on defense in front of him, he could suprise.

lol, there are no other "guys like" Zdeno Chara on that defense, which is exactly the problem

Esche should be the man in nets for the U.S. Only thing about Esche is he is coming off surgery so I wonder if he will hold up for the tourney. Looked great last night though!!!!

 

[Riggins]

Take Lasak or Bryzgalov.

 

[Hockeyfan02]

Esche is the starter. Just heard it on the intermission report on the radio feed.

 

[TML]

Bryzgalov and Lasak havebeen chosen.

It's down to these goalies, now:

RUS: Sokolov
SWE: Salo
USA: DiPietro
GER: Kolzig
CZE: Cechmanek

Wins=1 Points
Shutouts=2 Points

A little advice?

Thanks in advance!

Kolzig

 

[Jormungandr]

Salo, i dont think the germans will win many games.

 

[BIG GIFS]

Stana could be a steal!

 

[dw2927]

Sokolov made a good case against the USA in the last exhib. game, I suppose he's still in the running for the top job...and Stana with his performance tonight, prob. will get some time too..

 

[TML]

I went off the board and took G Kari Lehtonen..

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

Stana could be a steal!

I think you may be right. He looked good last night from what I heard on the radio.
