It's about time we throw some love to the backup goaltender (who happens to be tonight's starter), Dany Sabourin. The man who was all but forgotten once a certain Conklin won his way into our hearts last season has been red-hot when called upon in 2008-09, to the tune of a 3-1 record, 1.68 goals-against, .942 save percentage, and the biggie, stopping an unheard of 13 of 14...

Some goaltenders are expected to be starters. With people like Marc-Andre Fleury, people who are drafted first overall, it is assumed that they will one day be their team's go-to guy. It doesn't always work out, but when it does it's not a surprise.
