Well, Steve Sullivan is sitting on line 2 due to Versteeg's unknown status for this week. Sullivan has 4GP compared to Versteeg's 3GP, so definitely not worth the risk having Versteeg dress in case he misses any games and already at a GP disadvantage.

Your team is very well balanced categorically. So I think it'll come down to the wire in a very tight match-up.

4-5-2 : No team can exceed four (4) goalie starts in a playoff matchup. If four (4) goalie starts are exceeded [one of] the goalies total stats for the matchup will be eliminated.

In practice we remove the goalie who's game exceeded the 4GGS mark.

He's got Karlsson and Luongo.

He won't reach 7.....

[Nick]

4 is the limit, so 7 is irrelevant

I'd like him to get 7 =)

to avoid any confusion later on.. from the CC thread where this was discussed:

Loose the stats from the lower GP goalie.
