Think the back up will start?

This most likely will be the most winnable game of this road trip.

I doubt it, he started last game.

Backup backup or backup

If a Lankinen leaves the net, does anyone notice?

The goal light gets to cool off.

Speaking of potentially winnable games and our shitty goaltending the Devils are currently #1 in shots on goal per game averaging 38 (the Canucks are 30th in shots allowed).



With Lankinens current save % in the 7's, well, you do the math.

Surely the back up, back up is starting today.

You're possibly correct.

All I currently see with a half hearted search is Lankinen versus Allen expected.....

Maybe the bigger question is whether the Canucks can surpass the 30 shot margin themselves in this game!

Start Lankinen and hope he gets a shut out?

Damn! Just realized the early start! Looks like yard work has to wait (again)

Merilainen confirmed.

Zeev with a goal and a helper…
