"What drove the decision to go back to Joseph Woll for tonight's start in goal? Berube: I get that last game was a tough game. With the travel and everything, our team wasn't at our best. I don't think we gave him the opportunity to be successful in that game. He has been our guy. That is why I am going with him. Would you go back to him on Friday, or are you worried about his workload? Berube: I am not overly worried right now. I think he is in a good place."
"Berube: He is an excellent goalie coach among the ones I've been around. He does a great job of working with his guys, challenging them, and not always leaning toward, "Well, we have to play better in front of him." He expects excellence out of them. Expects them to win us games, which is good. He has done a really good job with Hildeby, who is a young guy coming in, with the challenges presented by the NHL for him. Overall, he has been really good."
Joseph Woll will start in goal after a difficult previous game. The team did not give Woll a fair opportunity in that outing, and Woll has been the team's primary choice. Woll's workload is not an immediate concern and rotating on the road helped keep him in a good place. Curtis Sanford is described as an excellent goalie coach who challenges players, demands excellence, and has helped young netminder Hildeby adapt to NHL challenges. Goaltending carries heavy mental scrutiny. Chris Tanev remains undecided about surgery and continues working through the situation while wanting to play.
