After watching the Blues/Stars game and Johnson giving up 3 goals on 3 shots in 3 minutes, I've had it! How can you possibly let Turgeon bounce a puck off your side from behind the goal line??? Unbelievable! Johnson single handedly lost that game. I used to think Johnson would mature and become a goalie, but now I think it is time for a change.

What goalies are available that could lead the Blues into the Stanley Cup Finals (or even the semi-finals would be a nice change)?

Hackett was one, but he's gone now. I really can't think of a Stanley-Cup caliber goalie that is available on the market. Osgood maybe when he comes back, but I bet you'd find him as frustrating as Johnson. St. Louis has alot of young goalies who seemed to do well in a limited capacity earlier this year. Perhaps your answer lies in the minors...

Johnson had a bad night, so what? Everybody has a bad night. Even Patrick Roy does get yanked once in a while. Johnson is one of the three goalies who put up three shutouts in a row in the playoffs. What more can you ask of that?
