Will be interesting to see who has the hot hand down the stretch, and if they decide to put one of their goalies forward or continue splitting games evenly.
Lots of games to play before that becomes an issue (if, at all).
yeah, judging from the sample sizes I think logically Monty and Dobes are both in the process of getting back to their normal selves (Monty is getting better, while Dobes’ numbers should be dropping a bit eventually, unless he surprises everyone and maintains this pace throughout the year…).
it’s probably more of an issue for the fans and media externally than it is for the team internally lol.
Perhaps saving Dobes for the harder opponent (Devils), let Montry try to regain his form against the weaker team (Flyers).
oh yeah?!
yeah probably 😢
Put all your dollars on the Flyers.
Do it!
in any case I think the point is that goalies shouldn’t be playing 60+ games like Monty did last season when Primeau was basically unplayable, and therefore Dobes shouldn’t be playing 60+ this year either, which is why they’re trying to share the load imho.
As long as Dobes keeps playing well, likely some form of a 41-41 split (or something close to that).
There are also a lot of back-to-back games and 3 games in 4 nights happening this year, so this should be expected.

Not necessarely but Monty was in goal Saturday. I figured it was Dobes’s turn otherwise the argument for “not playing an extended period of time” now applies to him instead since he hasn’t played for almost a week now.
well I guess that depends on the strategy, perhaps they already established that Dobes would be in net Thursday, even if Monty gets a shutout tonight…

I’m kinda surprised Dobes isn’t in goal. I get wanting to get Sam back to his usual level but I’d still run the hot goalie as long as possible.

I assume Dobes will start against NJ.
really..? so you would let Dobes play until he loses, even if that meant Montembeault wouldn’t be playing for an extended period of time?
personnally I find this makes perfect sense, Monteambeault gets the easier team tonight, while Dobes gets the more difficult start against NJ on Thursday.

tbh Monty has been the victim a many unlucky goals. true that he was off the first few weeks but he’s been better the last few ones.

4-3 Habs. Flyers come back after Habs come into the third leading 3-1 but we score with about 2 min left in the game or in OT.
You know, the usual.
oh yeah?!
yeah, probably.
