Start York?

[john29]

All goalies of any relevance on the waiver wire has been snatched up by one team that is out of it leaving only York available and grabbed him once Marty wasn't playing. My opponent has Miller and Smith. Do I roll with York and keep ahead in Games Started and risk the GAA and SV% that Quick got yesterday?

You might need this York start. It really comes down to Phoenix. If they beat Columbus tonight, then you'll likely see Quick get the rest of the starts. If they lose to Columbus, then it's possible Bernier would get one of the remaining games.

I didn't even factor that in. Thanks Mike.

Very well said. That being said there are a lot of things that can happen that would complicate things.

If Dallas wins today agianst SJ, I would say LA would start Quick Both games against SJ as it is not a guarantee LA is in.

If Dallas loses, LA may not still be guaranteed a playoff spot (depending on if Dallas won out and LA lost both to SJ). I think Dallas has the tiebreaker here (Wins).

I think LA plays Quick no matter what happens in the Phoenix game. They are playing to keep the division and home ice in the first round as well as a playoff spot.
