    It would be a huge confidence boost for him if MacT started hi basically saying we still have faith in you now its up to you. If he gets shelled you can always go back to Usi Saturday night back home

    Plus if you start Usi tonight and he craps the bed now you have two goaltenders with shaky confidence and no real options for Saturday night.


    That's a really good point....I never really looked at it that way!

    Thanks.......Being a Canucks fan we get a lot of practice second guessing coaching decisions regarding goalies.

    A little off topic here...but I am sickened by the "band-wagon" jumpers I hear everyday (that includes every sports show/radio/etc.)...okay we lost Roli...okay it sucks but the boys have to get by it...our boys beat Anaheim in 5 and that was with a team that had half its roster sickened by the flu...yet then no one cried "WE'RE DONE" as we got out-shot pathetically the whole series...Roli did save us that one...now the boys can return the favour...we have proven we can out play this Hurricane team...we DOMINATED for two periods and yet we still out shot them 18-11 inthe 3rd...everyone is like "wow what a come back" yeah 4 goals on 9 shots....sorry but Roli did not look like the prior series goalie I saw...Conks did not lose the game...the Oilers blew the lead and they lost the game...they need to come into this game tonight the same way as last...some minor powerplay adjustments...need to start shooting more or start keeping the puck down low...the Canes pressure the points too much for us to diddle-dally with the puck (yeah Spacek Im talking about you)...Im for one am not worried...the first 2 periods in the first game were the BEST IMHO we have played this play-offs...the boys are ready....plus all the pressure is shifted to Carolina as everyone thinks its doomsday for the Oil....which makes me sick cause half these "experts" maybe watched 10 Oil games this year...they have no idea of the heart this team possesses....in all honesty the Oil are a much more physical/and slightly faster team than the Canes....we will get by this one...watch out tonight Ward you will be seeing a tonne of rubber tonight....Oil win 4-1 tonight....sorry for the rant but lets get the positivity rolling (not directed to people in this thread...just a general comment)...ALSO I would rather have an injured goalie than half my team dehabilited by the flu for the majority of the series....
