So who starts at GK in the playoffs?

I'm trying to find the exact quote, but IIRC Vieira said he wanted to start Johansen early on in the year. I believe it was back in May, coincidentally against Toronto coming off short rest. However Saunders had a great game against Portland and kept his spot because he couldn't justify taking him out.

Lurch starts. Confirmed.

City in the Borough, or whatever it was called, in the Manhattan one. I asked Reyna, seriously, why hasn't Johansen started a match. Eirik was poised to start that Toronto game but he said Eirik got fat, not match fit, etc. during that week...

I remember that clearly. We all were thinking that's the perfect spot to give Lurch a chance. And then PV didn't and that was his explanation.

So if precedent holds, we ride the hot hand!

He got fat in 1 week??? What was he doing, dipping potato chips in bacon fat and cream cheese?

He was eating YS food.

so Lurch saved 6 of 7 in his end of season match and stopped 4 of 6 yesterday putting him at 77% for save percentage
