Love the pass from Kane to Peluso - brings a tear to the eye how unselfish that was.
Has Monty ever played in back to back games?
How much longer have we got Pavelec for? it looks like we got a Vancouver style goalie controversy that'll last a little while.
Bogosian right now reminds me a bit of how he looked late in Atlanta. Seems to have no real confidence what so ever.
Yes... he has multiple times this year
The fact that the pucks aren't going past Monty likely have something to do with the apparent "better defensive play".Monty deserves to keep playing. I must admit he plays better angles and positions himself better. I just feel more confident with him in goal, and I was a Pavs supporter. The team just seems to play better defensively in front of Monty, IMO.

The Jets are still having plenty of breakdowns, but the saves make them stand out less.
Not to mention Monty's puck handling and rebound control make things easier on the D.

That is the AIH post game for anybody who wants to read it.
It felt to me like Buff had less ice time. He was sitting at about 21 mins tonight which seems low for him. Trouba was about the same which seems bang on. I don't like buff on the ice too long.... bad things happen.
Gratz to the jets and to Montoya. At the best maybe we see a rising starting goaltender. At the worst maybe we see a spark under Pav's arse to play more... consistently. It's a win/win either way.
Happy New Year everyone.
as long as we are winning and Ellerby isn't the whipping boy, I'm good. If buff needs to play less and Monty needs to start more then so be it
Ellerby had a good night. One of the things he and Buff have going for them as a pair is they are freakin huge and I found their size seemed to pose challenges for the Avs top line the other night. As truck mentioned we will see how long it lasts using them as the shut down pair but for now so far so good.
Good game by most. It's all bits and pieces right now since I went a bit overboard last night but that Trouba shot was a rocket, blink and it's in.
I agree its a confidence thing right now. I didn't think he had a bad game but he is not playing with swagger and he missed Hainsey who was a smart veteran D partner.
Zach will be fine he just needs to play his way through it.

Jets heading to Ottawa today. We will have some audio up on site later. Here are latest Jets papers.
Noel still keeps saying "Pavelec is our starting goalie" and "He's not sure who is going to start the next game"
