> I must say I swayed, like most others on the "hot" goalie situation as of late.  Jimmy was obviously the "hotter" one for more than half of the season.  Frank is exceptional, no doubt.  Both will (hopefully) lead this team the next 3 years.  Neither is ready to be bombarded they way the rest of the "team" has allowed.  I'll bet if you threw a black pen cap at either of them, they'd duck, as they are no doubt shell shocked.  Both of them deserve accolades for their talent.

As far as last night goes, either one would have suited me fine.  The rest of the team wasn't there anyway.

The only time I can remember a "poor" goalie decision was last years final.  Morrison was hot, Alfie wasn't.  And I liked Alfie much better than Mike.

It's a tough call, but even tougher with nothing helping out front.
