So I keep hearing talks about Miroslav coming up, and I don't think that would happen.
But do you think โ I guess my real question is, do you think if Seeloff and Skinner kind of just โ
keep giving up three-plus goals if there's even a hint that he could be brought up.
I think that there should, Marty, and I appreciate the call because, look, if you're not going to have a consistent goaltender that you can rely on every single game, and you're in the middle of a playoff series, and let's say Shilovs is the one that gets the net first, and hypothetically they're playing, let's just say the Blue Jackets,
What if he allows five goals in that first game against the Blue Jackets?
Do you go right to Skinner?
What if Skinner then responds with giving up four goals himself?
Once you get to the playoffs, you need to have somebody established.
that has had a goaltending tandem that has been able to just consistently flip in and out, go back and forth like they would do during the regular season, maybe like a 60-40 split, and it worked in the postseason.
It doesn't happen in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
You ride hot goaltenders.
The only instance that I can think of is Murray, Fleury, 17 and 16.
But a lot of that was just due to injuries.
Who was the healthy goaltender at the time when Murray was hurt?
And those two at the time were both elite goaltenders.
Matt Murray as a rookie, Stanley Cup.
