Good on Babcock for playing his better goalie back-to-back.  Seems to be some unwritten rule now teams can't do that.  Neither Mtl nor Min played their #1s in the 2nd night of back-to-back last night.  Who knows, coulda been good reasons in both those cases, but doubt it.

Just the way things are now in the NHL, these habits creep in, everyone accepts it as how things are done when in fact, there's no good reason any goalie cannot go 2 games in 2 nights.

Your Leafs have been also doing that all year up till last night, going with their 2nd-best in net, and I think they've lost them all.  Easy to do the math, even without a calculator.

Col is last in the NHL in both goals scored and goals allowed, and Ari is 2nd-last in both categories.  They are Canada Grade A certified bad.  World class bad.  Col now has 3 wins in their last 15 games, Ari 3 in their last 12, something like that.
