The Grand Rapids Griffins have a goalie decision for tonight’s Game 3 against the Chicago Wolves that is made for second guessers.
One choice is Michal Postava who played brilliantly in the team’s first five playoff games and then gave four goals (in Game 5) in their sixth game. It was the first time this season he gave up four goals in a game. It was the first time he gave more than two goals in a game in these playoffs.
Frank Seravalli: “Sebastian Cossa is going to be on the move, the question is, where and what’s his upside?”

The other choice is Sebastian Cossa, the No. 1 goalie for much of the season. He was inconsistent late in the season. A first-round pick (15th) in 2021, Cossa is often billed as Detroit’s goalie of the future. Now there is speculation he could be traded this offseason.
This is a best-of-five series, meaning the Griffins are eliminated if they lose. Which goalie would you use?
