So, with Sergei Bobrovsky in goal tonight in Dallas and Andreas Nodl in the lineup for Jodey Shelley, you wonder, is this the Flyers' playoff lineup?

Coach Peter Laviolette said he will continue to rotate his goalies and not ride one over the final 11 games after tonight.

He also left open the possibility that he uses 2 goalies in the playoffs.

My theory is this: you start Bobrovsky and if he goes up in flames, you can bring in a playoff veteran like Brian Boucher.

But ... if you start Boucher and he can't do the job, then all the pressure in the world falls on the rookie, Bobrovsky.

Right now, the Flyers goaltending, despite what Lavy says, is not very good. Too many holes. Then again, the defense has been atrocious in front of the goalies this entire past month.

If the defense comes around, and Chris Pronger returns healthy, then it gives your goalies a chance to catch up.

Either way, I'm uneasy with everything right now.
