Heika: Why I think Lindy Ruff handled the Stars' goalie situation in the playoffs correctly

Mike Heika recently held a chat to talk things all Dallas Stars. Here are some highlights:

Question: Do you think Lindy managed the situation in net adequately during the playoffs? Would you have done anything different? Not talking hindsight, but at the time with the current knowledge available?

Heika: I actually do. He had a tough job, and I think he pushed the right buttons. He was able to get Kari Lehtonen's game in the right place and he got the most out of a struggling Hemsky.

Nobody knows for sure how to work this, but so much of the battle was getting Kari in a good place mentally.
