No way in hell Lyon starts game 2.Quite the game. Bob looked dead tired at the end, with a 1 game lead might be worth starting Lyon next game.
Maybe not but history suggests goalies don't do well the next game after playing 7 full periods 2 nights earlier. I've played a lot of goalie in my life and I wouldn't be surprised if he lost 12 pounds during the course of that game.No way in hell Lyon starts game 2.
Oh he'll be sore, no doubt. Might he not be as good next game as he was last night? It's probable. But there's an absolute zero chance he doesn't start next game. I'll bet Andersen will also be back in net for Carolina. Every game is too important from here on out.Maybe not but history suggests goalies don't do well the next game after playing 7 full periods 2 nights earlier.

Then there's the soreness in the legs from all the pressure he's putting on them throughout that game.
Looks like Bob's starting, Raanta could start for the Canes despite Anderson being nearly as impressive as Bob last game.Oh he'll be sore, no doubt.

When I saw the Panthers play my Montreal Canadiens in Sunrise a few years ago there was an uneven split of Canadiens and Panthers fans, more Canadiens fans to be sure. So much it felt like the Bell Centre in Montreal. A Panthers fan approached me and asked what it must be like to cheer on a team that has fans that care, a community that cares, etc. He said he doubts he'll ever see it. Anyways, I'm thinking of that guy today.
