Thing is, Rask is usually so good, that when he gives up 3 in just a little over a period, Claude knows he's having a bad night and lifts him. I'm not thrilled with Johnson as a back-up, and I'm hoping that Svedberg continues to improve down in Providence, and they bring him up. This butterfly style that they all play today must take a lot out of a goalie, and if you look around the league at #2 goalies, many of them have started 15-20 games. Johnson's started what? 9? 10? I think that Rask, Niemi and Fleury lead the league in number of games started. Fleury isn't going to the Olympics. Rask and Niemi are. That's going to hurt both the Bs and the Sharks down the stretch.
