I'm gonna go ahead and jinx this now. It would be awesome, and seemingly possible though.

I think he's a top runner for the Conn Smythe right now.

Whoa. Exhale.

Having said that- if it happens, Montreal will wipe itself off the face of the earth due to the arson and debauchery that would take place.

And I would laugh.

Yup. There's always some young netminder that breaks out of nowhere and carries their team every year or 2 it seems.

At this point I think the Conn Smythe is down to Halak or Oshie.

Also, Pietrangelo might run for mayor of Canada!

Are we even sure Halak starts tomorrow and not Conklin?

Because he has to play sometimes. Halak will not play 81 games this season.

8 GP, Halak has 7 starts. Conklin should play around 25% of the games so Halak isn't worn down by season's end. Granted, Halak will probably start tomorrow, because the Blues don't play again until Thursday, but at some point, Conklin will have to pick up games.

I know he won't play every game, not suggesting that.

But how do you sit a guy who just had back to back shutouts? Halak should play 65-70 games, whether he does or not is another story.

No need for Halak to sit when the Blues only play twice every ten days.

This is Halak's first full year with a NHL team...he doesn't need to be a Kipper out there with maybe the best backup in the league

That is what really pisses me off about this schedule...and it happens every year.
We ALWAYS trail in games played by more than just about anyone else until around midseason.

Management needs to stop requesting this stupid scheduling just in case the Cardinals get into the playoffs/World Series. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.
They are just shooting themselves in the foot.

And let's say we get into the playoffs, the team might be a little more worn down than most teams because of more games played down the stretch. :roll:

We'll see.

Well if we make the playoffs maybe the Cardinals won't have as many home games in the beginning of their season like we do for them...oh wait forget, baseball is the only sport in town.
