LabattBlue Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 My best guess... 10/22 @Tampa...Miller 10/25 Tampa...Enroth 10/27 Columbus...Miller 10/29 Florida...Miller 11/2 Philly...Miller 11/4 Calgary...Enroth There are no back to back games in this stretch and 5 straight games at home. After the Calgary game, it will be 12 games played, 9 for Miller, 3 for Enroth. [edited]Just fixed my math. Basic addition is a new concept to me. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCBuffalo Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Maybe he'll squeek in that Florida game but how Miller playes last night against them i doubt it. I am all for Miller, but its good to see Buffal axcited about someone else other then him between the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson's Flow Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Call me a cynic, but I still have this lingering feeling that Lindy is going to play the hot hand (Miller) for long stretches of games. I hope I am proven wrong but one game does not make a believer out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Agree. This stretch looks like it would really easy for Lindy to fall into old habits. He's gotta stay strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd flip in Enroth there only... What he said. Except, 11/5 @OTT... Enroth plays one of 11/4 or 11/5. Another way of looking at it: starting 10/20 @FLA, Miller gets 2 days rest, then 3, then 4, then 3, then 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I think Cereal's adjustment is more like it. The Buffalo crowd is going to want to see Miller when the team finally returns. They do play 40 at the F'n Center this year, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give miller 2 of every 3 games, that's about 54 for Miller and 26 for Enroth out of 80. That's a pretty good ratio if you ask me. Any more for Miller and its no different than any other year.

thesportsbuff Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 These are always a tough call. There are a few different ways to look at it. Part of me thinks that since Columbus is probably the weakest team of the bunch, you'd play your back-up against them.. but then again, since they're such a bad team, why take the risk of playing your back-up when you can cement 2 points with your elite starter? (Of course, since Enroth has proven himself so capable, that point of view probably isn't really relative.) Or you could say hey, back-to-backs with the Lightning, why give them the same look twice? Makes sense to throw Enroth in. Unless Miller shines again and shuts them out in the first match.. then why would you sit the hot hand when he's playing the same team he just shut out two days prior? Then there's Florida, where you could say: Well, there's a tough Philly team coming in on the 2nd, so let Miller rest against Florida and be ready. Philly is a good measuring-stick to see where the team stands at ~10 games in. IMO you want Miller in that one. I pretty much agree with LB's schedule though... 10/22 @Tampa...Miller 10/25 Tampa...Enroth 10/27 Columbus...Miller 10/29 Florida...Miller 11/2 Philly...Miller 11/4 Calgary...Enroth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Getting Enroth 20-25 games a year (which is the amount most people seem to be agreeing upon) means that he will play every 4 games or so assuming both are 100% healthy. With the lack of back to back games in the list above, I don't think we'll see Enroth beyond the Columbus game. I think it makes sense to start him for the Ottawa game the day after Calgary. If I'm right (and I'm usually not), this would give Enroth 3 games out of the first 13, which averages to Enroth playing every 4 games. I guess what I'm trying to say is everything seems to be going according to plan at this point, especially considering the 5-6 day break after the Europe trip.

spndnchz Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Plenty of back to backs to get Enroth his 20-25. We've got 21 or something right? Do what other teams do, play your backup against the weak ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Enroth plays well on Tuesday I'd even consider playing him vs Columbus and have Miller very well prepared for the next 3..... I don't see the point in resting Miller for 7 days. Let him play both Tampa games and then give Enroth the Jackets game. No reason Miller can't play two games with 2 days rest in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
