Niemi or Niitty?

[filosofy29]

I hope they go with Antero, but my gut feeling says Teh Tadd will go with Niemi. Still no word on the Merc.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

I think they'll go with Niemi as well. Since we can't edit posts at any time on here I'm waiting for DP's blog before I post the GDT.

100% sure he'll go with Niemi for this one but, if not, it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. :P

Why? If anything this team showed with Griess they give 2 fucks about respecting anyone, they play no favorites

 

[rares]

That's true; I thought about the Greiss example but I think they'll try to not be assholes twice... or something.

It shouldn't matter... Turco is probably going to dominate the Sharks like he does most of the time out there.

Would Todd really start Niemi just because of the whole ex-team factor? Probably.

 

[Nimesis23]

It would actually be smarter to start Nitty to throw the Hawks off. They know more than any other team in the league how shitty Niemi is... and they know how to score on him...

 

[rares]

But then again, like filo (I think) said... the way to score on Niemi is... just put the pucks on net. Plenty will go in! :P

Well here's the answer:

Why Antti Niemi's facing the Blackhawks, and what to expect - Puck Daddy - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

Looks like its Niemi... 17 goals allowed in 7 games... The only question is... will it be a 4 goal game or a 5 goal game...

Neither really matters. Sharks need to figure out how to score on the other goalie. Too many goose eggs for the Sharks this year.

On the bright side Turdo is usually good for giving up 1 or 2 per game just from flopping around on the ice.
