Question is, does that mean they're not trying hard enough in a real game, crumble under pressure, or are our goalies just that bad at it?

is all the above an answer choice?

Forgot to mention Skille practiced with the team. He looked game ready to me.

GR agrees with you, and cautions its his guess.

My concern is that Theo has some rust/stiffness. I'd rather he work that out against the Islanders. Clem has had a day between games and could perform well behind a strong defense.

Well, our goalies haven't been great at it so that could be a reason. Theodore and Clemmensen are both stopping 64-65% of them this year, although Theo is at 70% for his career.

Regarding weekend starters, maybe the Devils being Clemmer's former team plays a part in the decision? If it does, hopefully he plays like Vokoun has against us.

Hes a career backup thats done admirable while filling in no doubt. Hes doing what he gets paid to do.

We are not making playoffs without Theo (the Theo of the first half) Erick thats the reality.

Yeah, definitely. I'm just saying though, lol.

Nice

Thanks bro. Got the inhalers and antibiotics going today, and I feel a bit better. Like that I have the weekend off from work, with a Heat game tonight, and two Panther games on the weekend that work for me, time wise. Nothing better the doctor could have ordered

Nice. Glad you don't have to be up all hours. Get plenty of rest, take two of something, and call me in the morning!

I haven't taken enough of what I'm supposed to, but the worst is long gone. I work hard, so I take being sick as my body telling me to stop for a couple days, I listen.

Glad to see that Theo is healthy again. Should be a shot into the arm for the team. Glad to see Skille back again. He always energizes the team as well. Hope this is just what we need to get a win streak going at a vital time.
