Not trying to create a goalie controversy, but...

So far this season,

Steve Mason
W-L: 0-3-1
GAA: 3.83
SV%: 0.878

Ray Emery
W-L: 3-0-1
GAA: 2.60
SV%: 0.914

Mason obviously has better long term potential, but should Emery be the #1 goalie until Mason proves himself to be better?

I think Steve Mason should still be the guy, but right now Razor deserves another start

I think when Mase gets more practice time, he becomes more sharp - this is a chance for him to decompress and then come back in a game or two and be refreshed - also, the schedule should lighten up just a bit in November so he can get back on track

I think we're on the same page, Mason long term, but Emery for now? That's what I think they should do.

Yep they need to continue the winning streak and as long as Razor is playing well and they're winning, then Razor should continue to get some starts

Gotta stay with the hot hand. It's not like Emery hasn't been there/ done that..... he's a fine net minder.

As was the case last season, they're both playing well. Emery is getting the better support this year though, Mase had it last year. Very comfortable with either of them in there.

Agreed Razor has earned some extra starts. I actually believe that he must have worked hard in the offseason as he's moving far better than last season. Post to post is 100% better than in the playoffs. I tip my hat to him. Mase will bounce back he doesn't need any hand outs he'll earn it.

I think Razor is playing very well right now but it seems to me 3 games in a row is too much. Although Razor has been a savior the last few games.

awaz has hit the nail on the head. They are both fine...but the team as a team has played better in front of Emery for whatever reason.

I think that Razor handles the puck in our end better than Mason and that's why he we are playing better as a team when Emery plays.

Unless Emery has been reborn since last year it is only a matter of time before his lateral movement starts getting exposed again.

I think he must have worked on that during the offseason as his lateral movement is definitely better this year. Or he's judge healthier...
