I'd talk myself into one last ride with Blackwood

I highly doubt it'll be Blackwood. I think there's a better chance it's Vanecek again than Blackwood. I don't think it will be either. It will be the guy that it was a mistake to take out in the first place.

However, hypothetically if it were Blackwood (I'm willing to bet a decent amount it WON'T be), I don't know whether I'd just laugh and get ready for a nice therapy session and verbal punching bag session to take out my anger on the season ending tonight, or if I will just completely eviscerate the decision makers even more, with absolutely no laughing and a complete and total beating of the corpses long after they've dead, just to desecrate the remains.

If it were game 4 and we were down 3 games to 0, I would probably laugh really hard if we played Blackwood. At that point, what odds do we have of coming back? It's happened 4 times in the last 81 years. We're all but officially dead at 3 games to 0.

However, at 3 games to 1 we are not all but officially dead. 3-1 is a totally different scenario and we still have a pulse at 3-1. There's already been a team this year to come back from 3-1 to win the series.

Honestly, if you needed one of our three goalies to stand on his head for one game and nothing to lose, it might just be Blackwood. 80% chance he blows it but 20% chance he pulls it off.

The problem there is that we'll just keep playing whoever is winning and there's no way he shows up for 3 games in a row.

Not sure he can stay healthy for 3 games, so not a concern.

I overuse this but it sums up how I feel
We aren't skating today so won't know until tonight.
i can’t see Blackwood starting when he hasn’t played for so long plus the last free days of no practise . Can’t throw a guy in a round 2 playoff game when he hadn’t played in like a month and hasn’t stepped into the ice for 3 days .
But then again , Ruff did just start VV in game 4 so who knows what the hell he is thinking .

The order of my top 5 preferred starting goalies for tonight:

1.) Schmid
2.) Vanecek
3.) Chico coming out of retirement
4.) 2019/2020 Cory Schneider
5.) Mackenzie Blackwood
I’d go this for my top 5:
1) Schmid
2) Use a 6th forward instead
3) Deb Placey
4) Bottle of Genucel propped up on the side of a post
5) VV

Bruh, your disrespect of the GOAT is downright rude. Marty should be #2 on that list. Sure, the jersey hanging in the rafters may be a bit large, but he’ll cover more net that way.
