D'brickMangoldJets Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Lehtonen benched after loss Backup goaltender Johan Hedberg will start Saturday's Game 2 of the first-round playoff series. Sounds like a early panic move by Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbn007 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 That is a surprising move. It reeks of desperation from the Thrashers, and they should not be in such a mode, not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% How can the guy gain experience if they bench him after 1 loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Of Bavaria Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You want to know about panic moves? Ask the 1996-7 Flyers. They played that goalie game with Garth Snow and Ron Hextall all year and did it in the finals. Wings smoked em 4-0. Yanking your goalie after one game. Pathetic move and the wrong signal to send you team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonJet Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 This is going to help the Rangers a lot more than the Thrashers. Assuming Lehtonen does play another game in this series his confidence will be shaken. Hedberg is also a backup who played 4 games combined in March and April so either way I feel even better about the Rangers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 the Rangers big edge is in goal so they have to make sure they shoot the puck as Barry would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, Kari let 1 in was hardly why Thrashers lost game 1. Even if Hedberg does well if they take 38 shots they should get their 3-4 goals again.
