Why is Lehner Starting?

[Unrivaled]

Fleury has amazing stats against the Avs. This is a big mistake.

Taking the over big.

[pavyracer]

Fleury needs a rest. No need to wear him out early.

It is a big game tonight. Winner of the 1st game usually wins the series.

It's a 7 game series. 1st game means nothing.

Really?

Vegas lost game 1 vs Minnesota.

Really?

Vegas lost game 1 vs Minnesota.

Historically the game 1 winner wins 69.1% of the time.

It is just stats bro, the Wild and Avs are way different teams.

Oh wow. That's high but the knights are big dog regardless. I'm on them tonight but they have like very little chance to win this series. Books are pretty sure the avs will be in the finals bare minimum.

[Unrivaled]

Plus they don't play again until Wednesday.

What an awful, awful decision. Lehner will be rusty too.

2nd round or later if you are going to pull an upset in a series game 1 is crucial

[Unrivaled]

Lehner...

[k13]

Just cost them the series.

So dumb.
You don't need rest.

yep ridiculously dumb move. 2 full days off. you go with the sharp guy

[goduke]

Series is over. Only goalie to shut out Colorado was fleury twice and they don’t start him. 2nd round exit for Vegas.

[Unrivaled]

Series isn't over but it was a stupid decision.

[mr. leisure]

Just a mind boggling decision .

[Unrivaled]

With Fleury in net this game is 1-0.

[Unrivaled]

Winner, easy play.

[LLXC]

He was terrible. I think with Fluery the PL was good.

[Unrivaled]

We won't overreact to one game. Vegas looked tired but now get a 2 day rest and just got embarrassed.

[jrgum3]

I honestly think the Golden Knights did this because they figured they had little shot to win tonight no matter who started since they just got through a very grueling round 1 series against the Wild. So why not give Fleury some rest and have him ready for Wednesday night which should be a tight competitive game.

[thetrinity]

dumb decision but they werent going to win anyways
