yeah, we know. marco sturm fell on neuvy's leg the other day, he's still dtd with a 'lower body injury'. danny sabourin has been called up to be back-up. braden has started in exactly 0 playoff games in the nhl. of course, with the bears, he's played in championships-but i'm not kidding myself that it's the same thing. that's my biggest concern right now. vokoun is done for the season after re-injuring his groin the last week or so in the regular season.

Yeah but truthfully, they are the 7 seed and have nothing to lose anyway. They are not expected to win, even more so now with a rookie goalie. Obviously they have tightened up in the past being a high seed with high expectations. Maybe now they just go out and wing it, on their best day they are as good as everyone else.

i thought he was better than nuevy and varlomov last season, doesn't hurt to throw him to the wolves now. Like Matt said, they don't have anything to lose.
before they brought in vokum i had him penciled in as this years back-up at the very least
