Who will be the starting goalie game 1, will they be the starter the whole playoffs?
Phil Gretzky:
Mike Smith and Mike Smith. He has more experience in the playoffs then Koskinen and a far superior track record. But, that being said, I could see them going to Koskinen as well at some point considering how hot he was at the end of the season.
Sean Mallon:
Mike Smith is the clear cut starter at this point. If his body holds up, that doesn’t change. If he gets hurt, the playoff run likely ends
Lane Golden:
Mike Smith will be the starting goalie for the entire playoffs. The organization has immense faith in him and they have shown that time and time again.
Devon Hladunewich:
I think Smith will start game 1 as he is on fire right now and his puck moving skills will be very helpful against the forecheck of the Kings. I think if he will be the starter the whole way unless he has 2 back to back bad games. If he does Koskinen will get the chance to take over.
