Maybe the cherry on the top is that we are doing this while still haivng a strong development program in Cleveland.

So remember how in the past we'd have those moments when we outplayed a team, and established what seemed like a good lead? And then inexplicably lost that lead towards the end of the game for no apparent reason, having to go to OT? And then having to sit back and watch as the other team just out of nowhere has some miracle play that ends it with an OTL for us before the OT period really even got started?

We're doing that to other teams now. :D
 
Elvis was describing why he had been playing better, and among many other things he mentioned something like "now that the goalies are getting their proper rest". This seems to be his preference.
It's certainly a lot for a goalie who expends a lot of energy in a game to ask a guy to play 12 out of 13 games like the CBJ did earlier this season. It depends on the team but this team and its defensive weaknesses requires a goalie to face a lot of shots right now.

I think we are 11th in avg shots allowed per game (29.1) which isn't horrendous but also not ideal. Carolina is the league best 24.9. We also face a lot of teams that want to play fast paced. I think the CBJ also ideally wants to be faster paced as well. Keeping that mental focus and energy in a game like that across almost 3 hours does have to be draining.
