Did you watch the playoffs? Did you watch a Sharks game? Niemi was weak.
What...hot goaltender leads the Caps into the playoffs? Where have I heard this story before? Oh right, Varlamov. Unproven. Yes, he's awesome but if George McPhee bases his goaltending decision on the last month and chooses to go forward with a rookie goalie that wasn't even warming the bench to start the season? He's smarter than that. He's gone through this with Varly, Neuvirth, whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes for a proven goalie like Lu.
STILL...yes, Washington is much less likely than Tampa, Jersey or Florida.
