varly hasn't exactly been the poster child

All the more reason to find out now if he can regain his early season form, rather then crossing our fingers during the playoffs.

When we pulled Theo on Sunday, Varly didn't look very good at all. The good thing about Varly is that he'll make some amazing saves, the bad thing is that he lets in way too many easy goals.

Bottom line - we stick with the same game plan for the playoffs. Theo is the starter, if he is having a bad game, Varly comes in.

You always have to ride your hot goalie. Since we don't have a hot goalie right now, we need to ride our most experienced.

That goal looked really easy, too. Oh well, we still get another point. Man, we play a lot of overtime games.

When there are only 3 players on the ice, all goals look easy.

I just want to find out now if he could possibly be ready to go, we'll still ride Theo and personally it would be a wonderful story if we won the cup with him but at the same time he makes me uneasy. I know not every team has amazing goaltending and even with Brodeaur you can't count on your team to not give up more then 3 goals in a given game but Varly's performance earlier in the season was to good to not at least attempt to recapture the magic when you have little to play for.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing Varly come in for a few games here late in the season. However, even if he is playing well, I think we still need to ride Theo as far as we can in the playoffs.

I would however love to see Varly go on a tear!

They look a lot better tonight. Looks like someone lit them up in the locker room.

Pens game coming up

4-2 Caps with a few minutes to go in the 2nd and the Pens just got completely robbed of a goal because the ref blew the whistle too early. I love it!!! That almost makes up for the huge power play advantage they've had this whole season.

Good game :)
