Playing your starting goaltender would give you a reduction in your expected win probability?
That's a lot of bullshit to say you don't want him to face the music.

So this is the kind of thing you look back in 10 years and day: really?
Ridiculous by any measure.
Sheldon Keefe cites Connor Hellebuyck's workload as a big reason he won't play in Winnipeg. That would have been his 4th start in 8 days.
"From our perspective, when you zoom out, this is a goaltender that is not going to play every single game of the season. You’re always looking for times to give him a night off."

Today we launched the Vulcănești–Chișinău power line, linking Moldova to Romania and the European grid. For decades, Moscow used energy to blackmail us. No more: Moldova buys zero Russian gas, and two more power lines to Romania are on the way. Thanks to all who made it happen.

Rep.-elect LaKesha Womack (D-NC) on the rental car situation:
“We have a president with 34 felonies, so even if I receive one, that just means I'm qualified to be president,” she told reporters. “I do have an attorney that's dealing with that situation. It was a political attack, because, you know, how does something from six years ago show up the week before early voting starts? It’s a non issue.”

This was one of the best moments on the house floor. These dudes were trying to keep Vikki from talking and she was not having it. Now she is our Lt . Governor. I love it so much. @VikkiGoodwinTX
Remembering when MAGA @mayes_middleton thought he could pull the microphone away from future Texas Lt Gov @VikkiGoodwinTX. @texasdemocrats @TexasHDC

Trump: "Does anybody really believe that this 'Election' was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting 'dumps' were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.
It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter! President DJT"

Russian General Ivashov to Putin: “You lost, after all; you didn’t foresee a thing. You didn’t have the wits to realize that the war wouldn’t be some light-hearted operation—just pop in there, strike somewhere, and that’s it, victory.” The easy military operation promised by the Kremlin has completely failed. According to the military officer, the continuation of the war is leading Russia toward total militarization and deep stagnation in all civilian spheres—from the economy and education to culture.
Ivashov emphasized that dragging out the war is destroying the country’s future for the sake of one man’s political survival.
Retired Russian Colonel General Leonid Ivashov, during a live broadcast with Russian blogger Pavel Ivanov, harshly criticized Putin for unleashing a full-scale war against Ukraine, calling for an immediate end to hostilities and a return to the negotiating table. Back in February 2022, several weeks before the full-scale invasion, he openly warned the Kremlin against attacking Ukraine, stating that it would jeopardize Russia’s very existence.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

Here’s the quiet part out loud: If you’re bold enough to demand a trade two years into the seven-year deal you were given to be a franchise goaltender, surely you can be bold enough to demand the net in your first return to the city you asked out of.
