Lame excuses by Schoppe. There was no way Ruff was going to play Luukkonen in back-to-back games. Lyon is injured. By default, that makes Upie the #1 goaltender until Lyon is back, and then we will all have to see if Ruff goes back to the goalie rotation. But you're not going to play Upie in back-to-back games and possibly increase the risk of him also getting injured (especially in playing him under those circumstances against a desperate hockey team fight for the final playoff berth). It's utter nonsense to think otherwise.
