WHY did they start Lindy 2 games in a row? Didn't make sense to me. Maybe Thompson had the shits or something minor?

As said earlier, prolly 'cos he got a shutout the game before.
He actually played pretty well.

well yeah, but Thompson played better the 3 games before that so...there's little argument for Lindy to start 2 in a row based on any "how they last played" criteria
Mickstix:
I think it's more a precedent. Had anyone started 2 in a row before LT's shutouts? (Chuck was healthy and back when LT got his last start, iirc) So, shutout = start next game. Plus goaltending was the least of our worries the other night. Chuck did fine. They got 2 seeing eye shots to go in and we could only muster 1, while outplaying them pretty handily.
