Personally, I would have played Koskinen against the Blues, get the win, then play Talbot against the Lightning. The chances of you beating Tampa aren't that great anyway, why waste Koskinen.




Talbot needs to play some games but your idea is not a good way to handle it from a coaching/team psychology perspective.

If a coach is telling the team they can match up against anyone and are a playoff team how does it look if you put in your current number 2 as "The chances of you beating Tampa aren't that great anyway"

Do you think that motivates the team to be the giant slayer? How do you walk into the room pregame and tell them to put in a top effort when you are playing your goalies in this way?

I have always believed that it should be a mix of traditional back to back, give the starter a rest against the weaker team, strategy was best.
As the season goes on you play the top goalie, hot hand in must win games, even if that means 15 in a row to end the year to make the playoffs.

The last thing this team needs is any knock on its confidence and playing Talbot against one of the best teams in the league is a clear white towel and the players, including Talbot, would see that.
