Newsday: Greg Logan in the Islanders Newsday blog asks the question should Scott Gordon ride him against Atlanta or rest him for Saturday as MacDonald and Gordon comments.
NYI Fan Central Comments:
Good question by Mr Logan and why for months in advance you do not sit down and set a schedule for how much any goaltender should play. All this talk about how many games DiPietro should have played was always completely worthless like it should be with any goaltender.
It simply does not work that way.
Islanders need to get back up to five hundred, but they also have to pick spots with both their goaltenders. In this league there will be no long bus trips.
Danis did not look lost in the preseason or the game against Montreal but did drop a few shots the first few periods against the Canadians.
Nowhere to run or hide here regardless who is in goal.
