I think the idea of rushing a forward is a bit overrated. But rushing goalies isn't. I understand why they'd be hesitant to toss Hildeby in the show this soon. But he's got some pro experience and is obviously a top two goalie in the organization. With Woll out for awhile they have to toss him in some games I think.

Yeah, I generally agree. But I think euro goalies are built a bit different. This is Hildeby's 3rd season of professional hockey. We're not talking about a kid 18 months removed from stopping pucks off the sticks of 16-17 yr olds. He's been facing men for a while now. Not NHL men, but men none the less.
 
Rushing goalies works best during the playoffs
This has been my dream scenario, yeah. Goalies are best without a thorough pre scout based on several games at the NHL level. Hildeby coming in late season, dominating, leading them to a cup, and becoming a nothing trash goalie in following years. I'd take it.

This is the way
Matt Murray with the Pens

Going way back, Ken Dryden won the Connie before he won the Calder
 
I'd like to see a pure keepaway strategy on a PK once in a while.

Like, we could've just kept passing it back on that last sequence, but one guy eventually decides to dump it even though there was no pressure.
