Hajek hasn't played well since his 5 game cup of coffee in 2018, so by that standard he should never see the ice. But unfortunately Jones hasn't made enough of an impact to solidify the spot so this is what we get.

Matthew Robertson is coming and will assume his rightful position

 

[RickChartraw]

Dammit, I thought this was a 7pm start. I already ate my boozy whiskey ice cream and drank two bourbons anticipating puck drop

15 minutes for your favorite pron.

Hajek was fine last night. No worse than Jones has been playing

Yeah...

That’s not long enough to make it

Halak starting. This is OFFICIALLY the worst decision starting Halak 3 out of 8 games and especially the start vs the Sharks OR Jackets
He is on my shit list now. Combine that with very questionable player moves/PP times and minutes distributed.......well, he has a LOT of making up to do with me.

Imagine playing your kids in OT

I just passed a kidney stone.

If you ever had one, ya know the joy.

I always wondered what your avatar was about

 

[duhmetreE]

Trotz says he will only coach/interested in an Original 6 team..... interdasting

He skated past the net with best of em.

this train has no brakes

I never understand that line of reasoning as it doesn't allow for the infinite other things that could have happened if Krav had not played. By the same rules, I can say we would have won by 3 in regulation if we had of played Hunt over Kravtsov

 

[ThirdEye]

Can almost bet you that Gallant is starting Halak because he wants this team to learn how to win games without leaning on their Vezina goalie every night. It's a risky strategy but could have a long-term payoff

 

[EdJovanovski]

He skated past the net with best of em.

It was a genius 4D chess move

 

[hackeyman]

So Gallant is an idiot then. Or does he think Halak is our #1? In which case he’d also be an idiot.

Allaire makes the decisions on what goalie starts. How many times does that have to be repeated at press conferences for people to understand ?

 

[Row I Goon]

Ugh - ESPN down under only has the Islanders broadcast

Thanks - that explains it.

And because Gallant said it at a press conference we are to deem it true?

Well then that is also dumb.
