The best part about this upcoming offseason is going to be the front office having no answer for fans calling for both goaltenders' heads.

well I mean this is twice where Lehtonen has thrown a series deciding game with a dreadful effort in the last three years. Everything I read about GM's and coaches tells me that they know that they will get fired for the slightest perceived failure, so I'm pretty sure that Nill isn't going to let Kari Lehtonen do this to them again next season.

Unfortunately Antti Niemi (aka the worse one) is probably here to stay because he's a Nill signing and therefore tied to the team as long as Nill is here.

Nill didn't bring in Lehtonen, but he never should have put the team in the position where we have to play him even though he's been largely terrible for 3 years now.

He has been terrible and I can't figure out why Daryl Reaugh who is seemingly honest otherwise is all on his D for being an amazing player. Must be the goaltender in his. Or, something.

Lehtonen has big money on a NTC & the team doesn't want to eat salary long term. Turns out Joe Niewendyk is not a good general manager. Who knew? We just gotta hope they spend.

Ah thanks, I couldn't remember all of the Blues series off the top of my head. That makes a lot more sense though, just because I'd be stunned if people weren't talking constantly about a team doing that for so long.

Welp, I'm starting to think even the Blues can't blow this.
