It's documented, Hedberg has never won the cup. This may be his last year in the sport. Plenty of motivation to play hard.
Does Peter DeBoer use Hedberg in game 3 to help "kickstart" the team psychology a bit? Remember Terreri playing 2 games on the road after the Devils were down 2-0 to Boston?
Also, does Sykie and Larsson get a looksie in game 3...?

No way, Brodeur has been amazing. I understand the change but the games are 2-1 2-1, if Moose is even a little rusty it kills us.
A double changeup on the D would be a safer bet maybe

no....these loss' were not marty's fault
"The $297,297 Kovalchuk missed today is money he will never, ever get back. And the more cheques he misses, the better the deal is going to have to be for the players to justify him sitting out. And unlike the owners, the players can direct their leadership to get a deal done regardless of how disadvantageous it is to them."

Great idea. Bench the best player from the past 2 games. I get psychological motivation, but Marty's been brilliant. Play Sykkie, and maybe Larsson, but those games don't get to OT without Marty.

No chance Hedberg starts over Marty...
I would like to see Larsson and/or Tallinder in on D...
Also would not mind seeing Sykora inserted...he got a raw deal and I think he deserves another chance here. We can use his cannon blast of a shot...

I'm kinda split on Moose starting. On one hand Marty hasn't been dreadful but on the other hand it could provide them a spark and could help them psychologically.
Yes to Sykora and Larsson starting. Can't get any worse.

Yeah Marty is the least of the problems right now. This isn't 1994 with a rookie Marty and it's not Moose's fight.

Marty has only given up 4 goals this series. If you look at the other series that's par for the course.
I like the idea of putting Sykora back on with Elias. It may give Elias a bit of jump.
Worried about the conditioning of Tallinder.
Yes to Larsson. He's got the size we need. Only thing that worries me is that he hasn't been known to use his size.

Marty has been giving up soft goals but has been very good in net but not stealing a game like Quick. Start Hedberg he beat LA twice. If he screws up put in Marty. Get Sykora with Elias for the spark.

Harrold almost coughed up the puck a gazillion times last night, so I'll take Larsson over Harrold. Tallinder over Fayne? Big gamble here.
Sykie is a much more challenging proposition because it raises the question "Who do you take out?"
Josefsson had a solid game, as did Gio, Bernier, and Carter. Poni's size is difficult to replace, although you would like more shots on goal from him.
You may have to sacrifice Gio in this case, although Sykie's energy and forecheck would not even come close to Gio's.
Tough choices for DeBoer...
For those of you who think Marty is the reason we were in games 1 and 2, you've obviously been wearing your Marty goggles. He's been good enough, but the Kings haven't challenged him a great deal. Both first goals in each of the first two games were savable, especially the first goal in game 1.
Although, I don't think Marty is even a question mark for game 3...he will start.

and you want to gamble a game 3 by pulling marty for some kind of psychological spark ok, here, try my marty goggles on for a second, see how how stupid you look.
edit: i understand the goals allowed looked stopable, but if they keep playing the way they do, i like our chances.
redit: key is to keep it business and not make panicked moves

Yes to Larsson
Sykkie removes who ? Not Carter or Bernier. Lil G could be the victim.
Clarkson....haven't seen him in a bit...I heard he scored 30 this year
