Buffalo look good ,I can see a 4-7 th place finish . Still too early but they do look good. Miller was excellent.

I mean when Lack is healthy in a few weeks. Not next year

You meaning rolling a Schneider-Lack tandem in a few weeks' time? Not gonna happen. MG will get a vet backup in the deal before this happens.

I don't know where they will finish in the top 8.
I know this, they are playing with more edge, physical game.

No your here to be an idiot. You know you don't have t come on here to be one. My guess is everywhere you go you are an idiot. Why don't you head on over to Garfs blog and switch off with him giving Grigo bjs

I think washington is happy with their goaltenders , or should be happy with them . Both their goalies have played well for them . Holtby was unreal in the playoffs last year and Neuvirth numbers are not that bad .

It's all coming together. All we need is a few more of these games and another freaky press conference before Snider picks up the red phone and dials Gillis.

I'm not a fan of Bryz but the first goal there was a guy wide open on the rebound and the second went off a flyer and the third a ps . But after saying that he is garbage !

I don't think Schneiders back up will get more than 7 starts so it would be a good time to audition Lack for next year .

I'm sure they are but Holtby has certainly started poorly. 6 GA in Game 1 (not sure if he was pulled). 4 GA tonight through 2 periods. Last year's playoffs was a small sample size, as good as he was in that sample. Plus keep in mind that they played a far more defensive style last year. Oates is more offense focused.

Can you not say them same about CS ? CS has a larger regular season sample but Holtby has more playoff games .

Don't really agree. Schneider has a much greater sample size of games in total and played well in the playoffs last year. Sure, Holtby played a few more but even if they were playoff games it's still a small sampling in comparison. Flukes can happen in small samplings.

If Lack is healthy, I can't think of too many vet backups that I would be more comfortable with. The guy is a stud. But there's too many question marks with his injury, even when he's playing again.

I just think their going to ease him back into the Wolves lineup.

All indications point to this injury being something that happened very early in the season, with him trying to play through it. They'll want to be careful.

And Climie's been pretty solid (although he has a minor injury now, too). All the more work for Cannata, I guess.

I just have a hard time seeing a Luongo deal being contingent on Lack.

Agreed . He is better than most backups . Soon as he is healthy and played a few games ,he may get called up
