BeanCountingHab Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I still want to see Budaj start against Boston! The Budaj vs Boston Mojo has been fun, but I want to see Carey get that game. It's the last time we play them I believe, and if we meet in the playoffs, it won't be Budaj facing the Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habs1952 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Re sign Buds or no? I can't think of any reason not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MkGee Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Fine with me. Give your backup goalie to the weaker team, let Carey take on Philly tonight. well winnipeg is third overall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabsRuleForever Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 well winnipeg is third overall! Yes but only because of the rule that division leaders finish 1-3. Yes depending on the amount I think I would resign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepingminotaur Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 well winnipeg is third overall! But still the weaker team. Only reason they're third is because they play in a pitiful excuse for a division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 But still the weaker team. Only reason they're third is because they play in a pitiful excuse for a division. Same thing every year, there's always a weak division that takes that 3rd slot. The SE has been weak for the most part of the past decade, with the exception of Washington finishing first (partly by taking advantage of their weak division). I'd guess Washington has the best odds of taking that #3 slot this year, but regardless, this is the last year this will happen. Glad to see Budaj getting the start at home against Winnipeg. I would play Carey against Boston, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerplay2009 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Turns out Budaj has family visiting from Slovakia tomorrow night. Good on Therrien for giving him the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HabsRuleForever Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 He didn't seem busy but he made the saves when we needed them. Peter is becoming more steady the more work he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72coleman Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 carey record against boston is 0 wins 6 losses last six games are you sure you want to play him i would go with budaj. The Budaj vs Boston Mojo has been fun, but I want to see Carey get that game. It's the last time we play them I believe, and if we meet in the playoffs, it won't be Budaj facing the Bruins. i agree with you budaj should get a second start. I still want to see Budaj start against Boston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of it might have been looking forward towards the playoffs. We're going to be playing Carey in the post season, and if we come up against the B's its nice to know that he's had at least one great game against them this year.

Guest Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm pleased but a little surprised he didn't risk not signing and trying to get a starter job this summer. Good for us that he seems happy with his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for us that he seems happy with his role. Agreed. Have no problem on the term, the hit or the plan. I like him, he's shown he can be an effective backup without too much rust in between games and, has shown in the past that if he's called upon for an extended period (not a whole season, but maybe 12 - 15 games) he can play a starters role for a time.

Noob616 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Like the extension. Budaj is basically as good as you get as far as backup goalies (without a Luongo-Schneider situation of course), and he's a good guy to have around. He's above average as a backup, and if we ever run into a time where Price is hurt for a couple weeks I'm confident in Budaj to get the job done. He was a starter in Colorado and wasn't bad out there, so it's nice to have the insurance policy. Obviously he's not a guy a playoff team wants to ride for 60+ games, but I wouldn't be readying a tank watch thread if he had to start for a few weeks.
