I can't help but think of all the skepticism during the preseason -- yes he struggled, but this is the same guy that was lights out virtually every time he got pressed into duty last year until Smith got hurt.


This year: 2 wins in 2 starts, which is exactly what you want from a backup. The rest is just gravy: 1.30 GAA, 0.962 save%.
Some people here were sending him down in favor of Gillies, who is now struggling in the AHL with 85.2% SV% and 4.79 GAA in 4 games. Only shows goalies are a different breed and its really hard to understand them.
