NHL Playoffs 2016: Martin Jones named game one starter

Peter DeBoer announced Martin Jones as the Sharks game one starter on Tuesday, saving us from a potential full-blown goalie controversy.

This is probably the right long-term move for the Sharks. James Reimer will more than likely not play in teal next season and starting him in the first game of the playoffs might torpedo the confidence of the Sharks starter of the future. I know that gets into some #team #chemistry stuff that we, quite frankly, won't ever really know about — so I think it's fair to say my assumption is wrong and Jones would be just fine if Reimer got the start.
