If you were Willie D right now...

Markstrom. Let him back at it against a weak team and see how he responds.

I personally think Willie messed up and should've played Markstrom against Buffalo. He practically threw him to the wolves versus the Sharks and I see no reasoning defending why he made that move. It's a 4 point game agains a division rival, ...just doesn't add up..

Start Markstrom in Arizona. It shows that WD has his back. Also, if you look at the teams the Canucks play coming up, Coyotes are a good team to get Markstrom some shots and confidence since they are apart of Connor McDavid sweepstakes.

Not so sure... Without a win against yotes, its almost irrelevant who plays against Sharks. We need wins now... No disrespect to Markstrom, but if nucks doesn't get a win they are as good as done...

Expect a win, but expected that in Buffalo as well ( yes I know the team was tired after a long road trip).

I would go with Lack because Markstorm needs to learn the NHL pace. Sure he ripped it up the AHL but at a time like this he needs more pratice and just needs to learn the speed of the game. Points are key rite now and Lack should get a chance to run with the ball.

Both of these goaltenders have not ran with the ball. It's time for one of them out shine the other.

I think the Columbus game would be a good game to give Markstorm another shot.

Lack played a game he was supposed to rest so give him the rest, and give Markstrom a chance right away to erase last night against a bad team to get his confidence up for his next turn when Lack needs a rest

I might have sent him back into the last game to start the 2nd period.

I definitely get him back out there next game.

He gave up one goal last night that he coulda/shoulda had.

No big deal.

Show confidence in him, get behind him, fire your team up and get him a win. He's an outstanding asset that is worth backing, and Eddie is going to need rest regardless.

I'd probably start him in Arizona. Get him right back up on that horse and don't let him stew to long over it. Really needs to get over whatever his mental barrier is though and get comfortable.

Hopefully getting Edler back next game will help too.

Markstrom forsure, it'll be the biggest confidence boost for him.

He's got the skillset but he really needs to strengthen up mentally if we want him to reach anywhere near his potential. Anyone that's played goalie at any level I think will agree that it's one of the main factors in being able to play well consistently.
