Leighton was pulled on two of five games.
Lavey might be losing confidence in the next Patrick Roy.

Whoa, whoa whoa, the next Roy? Wasn't this determined back in '05 when the Habs picked Carey Price?

Jeez, 11 goals in a Stanley cup finals game? Wowzers.

I don't think ANYONE has ever mistaken Price for Roy. Save for the occasional good game, the dude's been average at best. Sadly, it appears he will be traded soon as he doesn't seem to be a good fit for the Habs.

I'm starting to get the feeling like Leighton is being paid by the mob to lose key games. LOL! Seriously WTF is up with him?

Must be something floating around the madhouse that only Leighton can sense.

Who starts in goal for Philly on Tuesday?
Will Lavey put the cup on the line with Layanegg Leighton?

Lest we forget that Layanegg Leighton shutout your precious Habs three times in these playoffs and has won two games for Philly in this Stanley Cup Final. Not too shabby for a goalie who's career looked pretty much over prior to his time in Philadelphia.

We haven't seen the likes of such a goalie situation since Miikka Sakari Kiprusoff. Granted, Miikka was even better in the 04' playoffs that Calgary should have won the Cup than Leighton's Cinderella run.

In Laviolette we trust.

Any early Conn Smythe guesses?
If Chicago takes it I'd go with Toews, although I could see Byfuglien being a dark-horse pick.

What would be hilarious if Ville Leino won it if Philadelphia wins the Cup and he puts up 6 points in the next 2 games. He's been solid for Philly in these playoffs and he's put up points when it counts. Of course I don't foresee that happening, but it would be hilarious. From zero to hero!
6 mins a game to top six minutes. From bench warmer to being one of the heroes in these playoffs. 19 points and a +8 rating in 18 games in the playoffs from 11 points and a -8 rating in 55 regular season games. Talk about night and day. Oh please hand him the Conn Smythe as it would make for one of the more bizarre if not the bizarrest thing to happen in this sport! Apparently bizarrest isn't a word. ____ you Webster's Dictionary! ____ YOU!

Villie with his beard kinda reminds me of Leonidas.

Lavey won't say who is starting in goal... Do you really want to put a guy who just got off the IR in a do or die match? Then again, do you want to see Leighton get thrashed again? Is there as record for goalies being replaced in goal during the finals? I can see Leighton earning that wonderful distinction. Uncertain goaltending might be just enough a distraction to provide an additional edge to the Hawk to squash the Flyers.

Writers must be bored. There should be zero speculation that anyone but Leighton is starting in goal on Wednesday.

Any word on Carcillo? I couldn't find anything.

risingstar you go with the best you got. With that being said that's Leighton for Philadelphia unfortunately. Boucher hasn't fared any better, and you have to go with the the guy who has won you both games in this Final. So Leighton it is. Don't know why we're even questioning this guys.
Lets also note Niemi hasn't been spectacular in this Cup Final either. This is not a goalies Final. The team that plays better in front of their goalie is the one who will win the Cup.
