Nimie wasn't good, and he hasn't been good this year but he has gotten us points (and cost us), but its not fair to ask your BACK UP to play back 2 back games with game number 2 against the best team in the league. Most starters don't play b2b's (all though its becoming more popular) so asking your back up??
Going into the game I think everyone expected Nieme to let in 4+, it just hurts that we had the lead 3 times and had a point in the bag before the final few minutes.
Question is is it worth it to give up some assets and maybe create some waiver issues to get a back up that might only be slightly better than Niemi if at all? Nieme is not playing like last year the clock struck midnight but I think that is probably the teams least worries and using any assets would be better served on other areas. Most likely Price plays what 30 out of the next 41 games? maybe even 35 ? Of course if he isn't injured for the rest of the season.
