well, there was another part about giving the emergency goalie getting time to get dressed and a 2-minute warmup, but I agree - when would he ever be sitting on the bench?

I would think that if Budaj would have been hurt thats when they would have Weiman in. I think that he can be dressed in case there was an injury just so there would be no delay. So yeah, I wouldnt think there would be an issue.

This seems contradictory:

In regular League and Playoff games, if both listed goalkeepers are incapacitated, that Team shall be entitled to dress and play any available goalkeeper who is eligible. This goalkeeper is eligible to sit on the player’s bench, in uniform.

If the goalkeeper can only be dressed if the other two are incapacitated, then he must also be on the ice. He wouldn’t have time to sit on the bench, because both goalies would be incapacitated.

I think the rule is just poorly written. Clearly, Weimann was allowed to sit on the bench in uniform because if Budaj also went down, he would have to immediately take the ice. The refs didn’t make any calls to the contrary. Whoever wrote the rule that way didn’t do a very good job.

Hopefully it’s the flu and not “flu-like symptoms” like Theo Fleury had. All hockey players are lushes, there’s no getting around it. But this better be the result of an actual flu bug and not because JoeTed doesn’t know his limit when it comes to Zimas.

Theodore DID have the flu btw. Some people were saying he left because he got mad at the coach, not at all. He missed morning skate and they said he would not have played if this were the regular season (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=chasingstanleytheodoreis&prov=tsn&type=lgns ). We need Foppa/Wolski/Theodore back for game 2 though, seriously. Although, we still almost won without them.
