One of the radio commentators for the Preds/Flames game tonight suggested that Nashville try using Vokoun as a forward this evening. Fun idea — as the commentator pointed out, Vokoun always comes out of his net to play the puck anyway, so why not?
We are suffering a serious lack of forwards at the moment, so we’re definitely seeing some odd combinations these days. Tootoo is out with his suspension, and Sullivan, Hartnell, Nichol, and Erat all are hurt.
Alas.
Based on recent play, I propose that Zidlicky stay a defensement, Vokoun move to forward, and Greg Zanon to goalie.
I think Zanon’s averaging as many blocked shots as Vokoun has saves lately.
