00:00You think about, with goaltending, there's essentially three levels of chances against.
00:06There's high-danger chances, mid-danger chances, and low-danger chances.
00:10You want to try to stop 6 out of 10 high-danger chances, and you want to try and stop
00:178 out of 10 mid-danger, and you cannot give up low-danger chances.
00:22And he gave up the lowest-danger chance you could possibly give up.
00:26That can change the tide of an entire series.
00:30It just can't.
00:31That's the pressure of the job.
00:33And that's why I think you've got so many people today like, all right, Lion, here we go.
00:38I don't see it going that way yet, but I think the leash is now right down to the collar.
00:45But if they had been alternating or closer to alternating down the stretch, I feel like Lion would be closer.
00:52But Lion's injury, getting him in.
00:55Well, Lindy did say last night that was part of why he gets him in, because I might go to
01:01him.
01:01I mean, listen, I'm not here to tell anybody that thinks they should make a goaltender change that they're nuts
01:05at all.
01:06I know he made a couple of breakaway saves, but that doesn't mean Alex Lyon couldn't have made those breakaway
01:12saves.
01:12You know, the other goalie can make the good saves, too.
01:14I'm not pounding the table you have to make a change.
01:17But if Lindy wants to sleep on it and think about it, I think it's totally justified if he wants
01:21to make that change.
01:22Let me ask this.
01:23Why should Lukanen have such a rope because of two weeks?
01:26Because they rotated from October to April 4th.
01:32For six months, they rotated.
01:35And Lyon was the better goalie statistically.
01:38Lukanen was great, too.
01:39Lyon was one of the best goalies in hockey this year.
01:42And he had a couple bad games, and he's just out of it.
01:46That was enough two weeks and an injury to say that what happened last night, you're not going to a
01:54straight backup.
01:55You're not going to a guy that, you're not going to Colton Ellis.
01:59You're not Ryan Miller going to Patrick Lalim.
02:02You are Lukanen going to someone who was top five all year in goals saved above expected.
02:07If you look at the playoffs right now, Lukanen has the worst goal save above expected.
02:11And if I just go ahead and dismiss the freebie, he's second worst.
02:16Yeah.
02:17Right.
02:17It's not been good.
02:18So I'm not saying that you have to bench Lukanen.
02:21I'm saying you can because this guy was great all year.
02:25Well.
