I tought this year was all about letting the young guys play and develop and finding a new #1 goalie.
I think we all agree that Joey MacDonald is not a #1 goalie in this league. Now Ramo is caught up in a catch-22 - Heartley won't play Ramo because the team has more confidence in MacDonald, but the team won't get confidence in Ramo unless he gets to play.
Yes, it is only game 5, but why wait? Are they really thinking "playoffs 2014"? And what happens if they get on a bad streak that starts with MacDonald losing and then Ramo losing and they lose 3-5 games in a row (not inconceivable) - where is the confidence then?

When I think of this for some reason this song keeps popping into my head:
Quote:
Don't you think it's probably time you sit and write your fans an apology letter
Maybe you've been waiting too long, too long
For somebody to throw your kinda party
And you're old, you're too old
If you're waiting for an invitation
You're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time
If you're looking for an invitation
It's never gonna come, it's never gonna come
You're never gonna get one
