The Stalock vs. Niemi Conundrum
Anthony Lancione
2014-11-14
Taking a closer look at the Stalock/Niemi situation in San Jose…
By now, you're all aware of Alex Stalock being placed on Injured Reserve Tuesday at the most literal interpretation of game time possible; being listed as the projected starter right up to the minutes before puck drop by popular Starting Goalie Projection websites such as www.goaliepost.com. They can't get them bang-on 100% of the time. Coach McClellan said Stalock was good to start right up until game time, but then was suddenly no longer good to go.
So let's give our pals at GP a pat on the back for being correct (and honest) right up until the game was basically underway. They kept their projection live as is, whereas a competitor stealthily adjusted their 'Projected Starter' to Antti Niemi 'after' the game already began, as if to prove they caught wind of the news ahead of time. Anyway, I digress.
