I actually see him as less of a gamble. We took a chance on Tokarski because he stepped in when we needed him in the playoffs. His regular season appearances have been below average and he looked especially to be the lesser goaltender during the preseason. Condon seems to play more conservatively and it feels like he will be a guy that will still give the team a winning record when he plays. If Price goes down or he needs to be replaced for long stretches or during the playoffs, then he really only needs to be given the chance to prove himself. But I see him as a more reliable option; he's taken a less flashy path to the NHL and he's had to prove himself at every level to get there.

It's still early, but so far, I would be much more comfortable with Condon taking over if there is an injury to Price. He looked good last night. He is in control of his movement, for the most part. If Fucale pans out, we will have more depth in goal than we have had in a while.

I think it was the right choice to take Condon over Tokes. I know it's early, but he sure seems to have that calm confidence ala Carey. He would have had a shutout if not for that stupid breakdown on our PP that led to the odd-numbered shorthanded chance....and even then, he almost saved it.
