For everyone's info, please treat the goalie question as if Lee is not restricted by the "Emergency Goalie" title but as if he was a signed goalie that can be used at will.At this point I am curious to see if he could do the job.
It would be interesting indeed, but at this point I think we should just accept that Weber probably doesn't think he's ready and wouldn't be comfortable starting a game. If so, I predict he would have used him this weekend because Gajewski isn't exactly a goaltender ready to start every game (of course, he plays best against the Chiefs and that's who we had a pair of games against so it's a different story). But who knows, remember when Ben Gray posted a shut out in his first game on the road?
Gajewski is on a roll...I say let him play until there is a reason not to play him. (Assuming Lee lost the EBUG status) and became a regular back up)
After the Wheeling game Gajewski got a major dose of confidence so whatever was said or done for him needs to be repeated. Consistent scoring is a major boost for any goalie's morale so maybe that was it.
In any case I would say its his job to lose and hopefully the team is reinforcing that notion with the scoring and outstanding defensive play.
Remember a goalie we had by the name of Steve Briere.He started the season out strong,but was used like 10 straight games.By the end of that stretch,he couldn't hardly stop a beach ball being shot by a blind man.I don't think Kyle or Loic would be able to handle maybe three straight before they start breaking down.If no goalie is on the way,sign Lee and give him a shot.Even three then one rotation could possibly save a young goalie from over extension.
