Ward isn't afraid to switch goalies seemingly on the dime to try and change the momentum or the attitude of the players.
If he thinks they're just coasting around and have no heart, he'll take the starter out and say "Look, if you guys aren't going to play, I'm not going to let so and so suffer". It's risky if it's a close game, but I still think it's a good move. Alot of the time it works and the starter will get put back in for the next period.
