although i’d definitely prefer not to see kari (fully healthy hopefully) play 20 of the next 24 games…if crawford and the stars can lean on raycroft more (and there’s no reason to trust that he can’t having played 66 games in one season before and playing solidly over the course of this season) i think it bodes better for us later on down the line hopefully…

this also helps prevent a colorado avalanche/craig anderson situation like last year when their goalie was ridden into the ground and they did a first-round face-plant….

plus, it will help us keep our overall defensive game in order, having more of a balance back there…while it’s been a little more consistent lately, during the opening quarter of the season we played, at times, horrendously in front of kari having full confidence that he could slam the door…i’m interested to see if the team comes out tonight looking to protect kari from difficult saves as much as possible by playing an intensely scrappy game in the d-zone…cant wait!

in any matter, GO STARS!!! nothing like adding to the inferiority complex sharks fans have….ha
