According to goaliepost.com, Halak will play Saturday against the Ducks because Price has been suffering from the flu all week hasn\'t practiced. Just thought I would mention for people who don\'t know.

Edit: I thought I clicked on Goalie Starts when I made this post, oops, moderator please move.

Thanks for the info. Thankfully in the league I have him, it\'s a 2 goalie start min., not the 3.

Or the Habs realize the value of having two stellar goalies. Who knows how Halak would be as a permanent starter somewhere else? When Theodore was in Colorado you couldn\'t stop from hearing people saying Budaj should be the starter... And now look.

Look at the Ducks, they should have kept Bryzgalov. They don\'t have a viable option after Giguere while they are struggling.

That being said, when Theodore could\'ve been a great backup in Montreal, they traded him away (but that was more of a salary move). And when Price could have been Huet\'s solid backup, they traded Huet... Speaks mounds for the depth they have. Marc Denis is playing n the AHL for these guys, that\'s ridiculous. Denis may not have been able to get \'er done on the defenseless Lightning squad but if they ever need to call him up due to injury or whatever, Denis is going to be stellar!

Almost half my fantasy teams have Halak, and he\'s been nothing less than phenomenal when he got the start, so I\'m happy with this team using the two goalie system.

Edit: I also think Halak will be traded in his contract year, not that I know when that is. Because he\'ll want cash for how good he is and I don\'t know how much money they will put into a backup goalie.

Marty, how the heck did you guys decide on 180 goalie games? Weird number for roto.

Too bad you don\'t have Halak instead of Telly about now.

Speaking of Halak, I\'ve got Brodeur, Budaj, Halak, and Conklin going tonight, but can only start 2. Who should I go with. Leaning towards Halak ( Ducks don\'t score much), and Brodeur (can\'t get spanked 2 nights in a row, can he?). But Conklin\'s got that powerhouse squad in front of him, and has played well. Just don\'t know.
