CaptWelly Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 No offense to Monty or Carey , but at this point lets bring up Lindgren. It may be a spark , can't hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramcharger440 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 you get rid of him and this team will fold like a deck of cards. no way they play for a second string guy after you flush the guy most feel is at the top of the league. it basically will tell the room we give up. and good luck getting anyone to agree to coming here without him.

ramcharger440 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 most every team in the league. he is in a slump happens to every player he will rebound. the glaring issue is the D corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, I wasn't advocating getting rid of Carey by posing this question. I am, however, advocating playing the goaltender who has been the better performer to begin the season... and Carey has been consistently poor.

Id agree with that philosophy for most players and most positions but this team has been set up to live and die by price. if he's not in net - and playing at top form - we wont win. I think you have to ride it out. Thankfully he looked pretty sharp last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimized by a couple of bad defensive plays leading to goals #1 and 3 last night but his rebound control was atrocious. Almost like he was wearing a ping pong racket for a glove.

Noob616 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think all things being equal they'd probably have kept Montoya over Niemi but the extra year on Montoya's contract was a bit of a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
