    Just a hunch here… but I really forsee the bruins playing Rask. After his shutout last game, and for a team that needs win, why wouldnt you go with ur hot goalie??

    Thanks Wayne!

    Mike – You are 100 percent correct, Rask pretty much has the starting job at this point, just oversight on my part with the “probables”

    That link cites the same story as us. Although the article implies Miller will start (and he should), nowhere does it confirm during morning skate.

    What how do you think Turco will play tonight? stats are W,SV%,GAA,SV,SO.

    He came off a great start last night with Bryzgalov and I didn’t fair to well with Brodeur.

    In one start against CHI this year Turco surrendered four goals.

    The Hawks are at home and sit fourth in the league in offense. Starting Turco would be VERY risky.

    Alexander…

    “Ryan Miller will start in Buffalo’s game against Boston on Tuesday.”

    I know I am a new poster here but the writing is on the wall buddy.

    Niemii against Dallas seems like a no-brainer play.

    For some reason I have my doubts about playing Elliot versus Calgary, though. Play? Bench?

    RotoWorld just like us does not attend the games and feeds their information off of the beat writers. The writing certainly is on the wall, but that report does not come from the Morning Skate which is why we list him as expected and not confirmed.

    We should put up a legend of sorts soon explaining the difference between confirmed, probable and expected to alleviate any confusion. Thanks for your interest in the site arrowsno13, we always enjoy participation!

    I have doubts about Elliott too?
    Best two out of three tonight? Rask Elliott or Niemi?

    Niemi and Elliot. Calgary has been too cold as of late. And Buffalo has been pretty consistent this entire year. I have Kippur on my fantasy team and if I had the chance I would play Elliot. Now that the Sens have Spezza back their offense is clicking and netting goals. Boston is just too hard to put as the winner this season. Niemi is a no brainer. Niemi and Elliot all the way.
