I would agree with you if that statistic were true. Incze played in 22 games, he was not the starter in that many, just called upon in relief of Dhillon when the score got out of hand. When I have more time to check I can go through those 22 games and see how many of them Incze was in the starting line up. I'd be surprised if it was more than 10.

I cant imagine that anyone on that bench saturday afternoon was happy with that game on saturday.. yes they showed some offensive flair but noone should be happy with that game... i call it take the 2 points and run

Based on minutes played per game it looks like 16 or 17 starts.. i could be wrong but its also not an uncommon number of staets for a backup goalie.. i do think he deserved a larger workload down the stretch

How do you NOT start Incze tonight and then run with him if he is solid? If he rides the pine for the first few games, you can rest assured he will demand a trade. This should be his big year, if not here, somewhere else. I'd like to see him stay here.

Never said they would be happy about it but it was game 1 with limited practice time together so hopefully they are better this weekend. Because the team wasn’t great I think Dhillon (who was the original topic) gets the nod tonight

I already said how he might NOT get the start tonight (even though I don’t agree with it) Dhillon picked up a W even though it wasn’t great so he goes again hope I’m wrong but coaches might look at it this way

We've certainly seen that train of thought from the coaching staff in the past, hope it goes the other way though.

I could see Incze get the start tonight and Dhillon get the home opener tomorrow. Whoever plays better gets Saturday.

I was reading the messages and was formulating my reply and then I read your answer and realized you beat me to it (yet again )!
