Khudobin will get on his skates Sunday. Hopefully Peters is kept busy opening the bench door until Anton is ready to get back into the lineup.
BB...imagine if the team, anyone on the team, thought like that? Colorado is a "throwaway" game? Lol.
I understand, but I tend to look at it like this:
Given the way the Avs are playing, they've got a good chance at beating this team, regardless of who we have in net. If there's a good chance the goaltender will get shelled, would you rather have it be your established starter or the goaltender with no future in this organization?
It's a back-to-back of Western teams with a divisional rival of equal strength to the Avs coming shortly after. If putting the Colorado game as a "throwaway" game helps the team be better prepared against the Penguins, I'd take that every day of the week.
And given this team's tendency to play the "Have Ward bail us out until we feel like playing" system when he's in net, it might be beneficial to have Peters in there, since they'll actually have to try from puck drop.
But again, as I've stated before, I'm a natural pessimist so my expectations for games and the way I approach them will obviously be different than Muller and the team.
