I don't necessarily disagree, JB. But we have more than 20 years of past history on how Coach Umile handles his goalies, and there haven't been many times when he has taken the "let's go with the backup" approach. As I'd guessed back near the start of the season, Wyer has played in one of the Colorado games (although even that wasn't a start), and based on the past track record, the next time I'd expect to see him between the pipes would be the USNDT exhibition.
There have been few exceptions where Coach Umile has split time between goalies (perhaps starting with Cavicchi/Heinke in the mid'90's, moving along to the Matile/Conklin situation in '99, the Carney/Ayers scenario a couple of years later, and probably most recently the Pietrasiak/Regan jobshare a few years ago), and arguably in all but the Matile/Conklin scenario, where the redshirt soph played an established, older #1 Matile (who had just taken the previous year's team to the first Frozen Four in a generation) out of a starting job, and took that team to Anaheim, and the closest they've ever been to winning it all. And the fact that even happened at all was as much a situation where Matile was clearly not as sharp as he'd been in the past, and left the door open for Conklin.
Had DeSmith not played well again last night, that door may have opened a small crack. But it didn't, so I expect Coach Umile will likely maintain the status quo.
Having said that ... I'll be just as interested as everyone else to see if the tiger changes its stripes tonight, the old dog learns a new trick, etc.
