digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've already made up my mind, but I'm just wondering what goalies you guys would start tonight?I have 3 sets of goalies; Anaheim, Boston and Ottawa. Anaheim is not an option for me because they are not playing tonight.The MatchupsNew Jersey Devils @ Boston BruinsOttawa Senators @ Nashville PredatorsThe NumbersOttawa goals against average = 2.88Boston goals against average = 3.43Nashville goals for average = 3.23New Jersey goals for average = 2.38Other Factors- Ottawa is playing on the road.- Boston is playing at home.- Ottawa is without Wade Redden and Daniel Alfredsson- Boston is without Phil Kessel and P.J. Axelsson.- Nashville should have Jason Arnott and Steve Sullivan back tonight.- New Jersey beat Boston 5-1 last week. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Given no other choice I'd start Boston at home here. Nashville is going to light up Ottawa, no way Jersey scores more goals against Boston than Nashville does against the Sens. Link to post Share on other sites
Untilted 158 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Tim Thomas has not been great as of late. 4.25 GAA in last 4 games. Emery has been playing well. Even with the home and away factors and Nashville, I might take Ottawa. Link to post Share on other sites

Even with the home and away factors and Nashville, I might take Ottawa.I actually see the home/road factor favoring Ottawa because teams tend to play tighter on the road.However, I'm still going with Boston as Ottawa has been a little reckless defensively lately and Nashville has the guns to take advantage of that, especially with Arnott and Sullivan expected back in the lineup.

7s7c 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I expect Boston to play well tonight avenging the drubbing by NJ they suffered in the CAA not too long ago. They were flat out embarassed I say they play well tonight but I'm no sexpert. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Voted Ottawa -- provided they smarten up and bury Gerber in a hole somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'd go with Boston. Thomas is a fish in a frying pan kind of goalie. He can make the big first save, but sometimes plays himself out of position. NJ is a counterpunching team, not an offensive flury kind of team. So I like the way he matches up against the Devils...

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I thought this was a joke at first. How could you start Ottawa? This one is not close at all. Link to post Share on other sites
