Dave Tippett insisted he gives no thought to who the opposition is when deciding on which goalie to start.
"No," the Coyotes coach said Saturday morning. "Zero. Zero. Absolutely zero."
That Hamlet dude might say Tippett doth protest too much, but whatever. The fact is for the fifth time in eight games, the Senators faced the worst goalie on the other team's roster when Anders Lindback made his 2015-16 debut at CTC later that night.
While No. 1 stopper Mike Smith rested, he watched the Senators make Lindback look like a superstar for the first 38 minutes when they finally beat him on their 24th shot of the game.
