No idea what the Cooley thing is about...i havent even mentioned him.

There's plenty of posters in this thread who think Cooley is the answer. I wonder if they are the same people who thought Markstrom needed to be yanked in favour of Vladar against the Oilers.
Those numbers you are referring to seem to be incorrect for this year. The games played is important because lots of nackups come in and put up good numbers and then settle back. But teams looking to get a backup for the POs want a guy who at least has played against a lot of teams. And it's not just games he played in - he's been the regular backup for a team for a lot longer than most guys. That's also experience.
