Seems pretty obvious by both every single underlying stat, and my own eyes the direction this team is going.
The goaltending may be costing us games but the team in front of them is playing great hockey most nights.

Ottawa’s already played 20% of their season which is crazy when you think about it. Goalies need to get going fast or luck will start to become part of the playoff picture fairly quickly (injury, hot streaks ie Hamburgler / Karlsson just drags the team into the playoffs, good trade)

on this 4 game homestand if either goalie shows you a sign of life he could get all 4 starts or 3 of 4 starts and if Forsberg becomes the starter all season after this little home stand I dont think Green will flinch to make a move like that.

Greens played the “I love both my goalies” card so well from pre season, if Forsberg becomes the starter there won’t be a goalie controversy because:
1. Nobody in Ottawa will bat an eye because we like Ullmark but I’m not waiting around for him to show up, he has 5 years to find his game he can work on it in practice
2. Green has the license from the fans to make the playoffs under almost any legal conditions, the players can sort their feelings out later
