[Lance Hornby] Berube apparently isn’t high on confirming starting goalies, even though Woll was talking about his excitement for Montreal and Jersey native Stolarz is pumped for the game there Thursday.

Has Berube considered letting Stolarz buy his family tickets for that game then benching him?

I think it would be weird not to start Woll who has some experience for us already. There’s literally no other criteria to determine it, so give it to him out of respect. No need to create drama immediately.

It’s hard for goalies to be prepared when they don’t know who is starting, a big part of being a goalie is being prepared mentally hard to do that when you may or may not be playing.

Don’t worry, NHL head office will remind Berube about how the league feels about gambling and the effect announcing starting goalies has on the money line.
