Flyers have 2 goaltenders to start the finals - Ron Hextall (3.5 Stars) and Darren Puppa (2.5 Stars). Puppa gets the start. He must have more "hotness" so it is what it is...I'm not too worried about it, the difference in talent is not that huge.

However, Puppa got hurt in the first game. So Flyers recalled John Blue, a 0.5 star goaltender. Guess who started the remainder of the Stanley Cup final ? Yeah, NOT Hextall. Despite Blue getting shelled.

I won the challenge but I don't really feel like I deserved it.
Can they use that save to trace what's doing that in the selection logic? Surely that's obviously undesired AI behaviour and they'd want to get to the bottom of it eventually
