No Arguments Here Joel

Peter Budaj’s stopped 39 of the 40 shots he’s faced.  JoeSay Three or Four’s not been so fortunate, allowing 8 goals on 36 shots.  No one would question Joel Quenneville if he decided in favor of Budaj starting Tuesday night.  It’s the common sense approach. 

Joel?

Rick Sadowski

“Jose’s going to play,” Quenneville said. “He’s been our guy. He’s had a great stretch run for us and was great in the first series and we expect him to be a big factor going forward in this series.”

Umm, Joel?  He’s already been a big factor.

Wings light him up again and six months of success in Denver is down the drain.  With free agency looming, there’s a good chance 60’s got one bad period of hockey left in his Dive career. 

Cool. Running a Dive goalie out of town?  Man, I’d find ways to write about that for years.

Let’s see what the Dive bloggers have to say.  They were awfully active here on A2Y right up to Game 2, so I’m thinking they must be just tip-tapping away.  Let’s take a look.

Nothing from Joe at Mile High Hockey.  Gobbles?

Detroit is vulnerable. Make no mistake about it, after game 1 Detroit and their fans should be scared.

Terrified.  That was before Game 2.  After?  Nada. Shane?  Strangely silent, like most of his pals, since Saturday evening. But when he was still posting, he hit the nail on the head.

I would go with Budaj. Sure, Theodore got the team this far but you can’t play him just because you feel you owe him anything. You play the goaltender who looks like they can do something for you. And if Theodore plays on Tuesday and lets in the first goal, the team is going to be supremely demoralized.

Exactly. 

But apparently Quenneville disagrees.  I’m with you Joel. 100 percent.

No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature.  Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
