Blues courting goalie controversy

08:27 AM ET 07.31 | So, who's No. 1 in St. Louis: Jaroslav Halak or Brian Elliott? Expect both Halak and Elliott to see significant action again. But I will point out that Blues GM Doug Armstrong recently said he could see Halak playing more games than he did last year (46). Even though the tandem worked very successfully last season, and is almost a necessity in the Western Conference, the club still thinks of Halak as its 1A and Elliott 1B. To me, Halak's start will help decide how it plays out. Remember, a poor start by him in 2011-12 is what led to Elliott playing as much as he did early, and Elliott proving to be perhaps the best surprise in the NHL. Elliott will certainly get his share of opportunities, but my projection is the tandem.

i do not see both of them staying hot throughout the season.
one of the 2 will not stay steady enough to be a 1/1a

I wish to continue a trend here and consign the "other" one to Toronto.....Lord Irk is involved in everything I say!

One season does not a goalie make...Mike Smith and his playoff run may be the perfect example as well.

goalies are not like starting pitchers, you can't keep two top flight guys.

And Philadelphia for that matter.
I think one or the other will be gone at the trade deadline.

There's a goalie controversy in Philly? If Bob was still in town maybe but Leighton isn't going to cause a controversy. Bryz will keep everything intersting, aleibet not necessarly for his quality of play, but none the less interesting

I agree. At any rate, it's a nice controversy to have. Beats the alternative. Just ask the Blue Jackets and, I was going to say Detroit but ... we have Jonas Gustavsson now! :-)

The only controversy in Columbus is why the Team President (who knows nothing about hockey) and the GM still have their jobs.
