Thanks. Trying to get past the Rangers. Nash has a broken jaw so he's not playing as well as usual.

Since we are up 3-0 in the series and game four is coming up, I’m thinking about starting Ben Bishop. He hasn’t played in any playoff games so far this season and if the Rangers win it’ll only be 3-1 and I’ll start Reimer in game 5.
