I completely disagree. Always felt our only chance was to go with Holtby and hope he can get back on track. Grubauer just isnt guy. He is too shaky technically to be trusted for the long haul.

Nah. You'd think it would be that way but it isn't the NHL's idea. That type of stuff gets worked into their TV deals, as the TV networks lose out on whatever shows were supposed to come on instead of the OT. So it's an effort to speed the OT along so that it causes less disturbance to the network scheduling.

Locker is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. He says, "if we can put a cloak on Panerin on Thursday we'll be going back to Washington for game 5." Uh. Since we won tonight there's a game 5 either way. SMH.

That makes sense on weeknight games perhaps but in the later rounds and the finals? I would think more viewers would stay with the game.
