wjag Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 2 times now Lav has successfully pulled his goalie in the middle of a game. Two times the new goalie coming off the bench has shut out the Sabres. Is he genious or is he lucky? I think he has incredible guts to do it and so far it has worked.

Corp000085 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 if he wins tonight or thursday, he's a genius. if he loses, tonight and thursday, he was lucky till game 6, then he's the biggest tool of a coach ever! (not that i think he already is...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goat Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 A bit brains and a bit luck. He's got two good goalies to go to when his team needs a kick in the pants - it's a nice luxury to have and he takes advantage. The Goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Okay let's go with that Goat.. What if the Sabres knock off the Canes tonight by a score of 2-1 or 3-2 or 3-1? Which goalie do you go with on Sunday? I speculate that he has caused himself a bit of a pickle. I think he has demonstrated no confidence in either.

Jag, I am as confused by the rotating goalies as you are. I've never seen anything like it. I would never say that Laviolette has "demonstrated no confidence in either." I will say that it is a shock tactic that can only be used so many times and that the well is running dry on this particular move. As a fan you'd prefer that your team go with one goalie throughout a playoff run but until it backfires I really can't argue with it.

wjag Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Well Goat.. I think Game 6 provided the answer. Ward was awesome. No reason short of a 3 goal lead can you change him out. nice to see Miller and Ward have a great game on the same night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
