"It's the usual trick: The coach pulls the goalie and throws in the backup to shake up a struggling team.
Lightning coach Guy Boucher put his own spin on the strategy yesterday, naming No. 1 goalie Dwayne Roloson as the starter for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals tonight at the St. Pete Times Forum, replacing backup Mike Smith, who took over for Roloson in the middle of Game 4 and got an unexpected nod for the start in Game 5.
Smith played well enough (17 saves) in Game 5, his first start of the playoffs, but the Bruins managed to carve out a 3-1 victory and now lead the best-of-seven series, three games to two."
