Johnson is a classic second netminder who can't handle the workload of a first-stringer. The question is Theodore. If they don't have confidence in him in big games--and no reason why they should, given his performances thus far--then they have to consider promoting Simeon, especially if they can unload Theodore and his big salary, and maybe pick up a defenseman. The guy is still raw. He incurred a minor last night by handling the puck in one of the forbidden zones. Ovechkin had to go over and explain the rules. Otherwise, a fine performance--both goals were legitimate--against a hard-working team that is reeling from injuries to key players.
