Back-Ups Moving Up

so this season it season like alot of good players didn't set it up and lost their stopa to their back ups. in a way thats kinda cool for the back-ups and its good be a good feeling for this but it's gooding suck for the guys losing their positions. Sometimes though the starter doesnt actually lose the position but he's taken from it for a bit.

Lost the starting stop

Marty Biron was suppose to be the starter but lost it to Ryan Miller------[Buffalo]
Martin Gerber was brought in to replace Hasek as the start but didn't preform so Ray Emery stepped in and proved he could fill Hasek's unfilled shows----[Ottawa]
Ilya Bryzgalov was brought in for JS Giguere in round one, Giguere became a daddy and there was a little set back with his new little one so Ilya had to get the Ducks through the serie----[Anahiem]
Johan Hedberg stepped in for Kari Lehtonen, though he didn't win the game nor the series, it sure sent a message to the Thrashers-----[Atlanta]
Peter Budaj pretty much stole Jose Theodore's job in the mountain, J.T. only played 33 games all season with only 13 wins, Budaj only played 24 more games but had 20 more wins----[Colorado]
Cristobal Huet, on the other end of the spectrum, only played 10 more games then David Aebischer eith only 6 more wins but eveyone turned to Mr. Huet when times got rough-----[Montreal]
Nicklas Backstrom played 3 less games then Manny Fernandez and only had one more win then him, but he sure turned heads when Fernandez was out-----[Minnesota]
Wade Dubielewicz, how the hell is he, well he's the guy who got the Islanders in the playoffs, winning 4 out of 8 of the most important games for the Isles this season while Rick DiPietro was out----[NYI]
Dany Sabourin played about three minutes of the playoff while Roberto Luongo went missing in the beginning of OT. He made 3 or 4 big saves went it counted-----[Vancouver]
Marty Brion, again, went to Philly and became the starter again----[Philadelphia]
Antero Niittymaki, signed as a 2nd string goalie played 3 times as many games as Robert Esche, the starter. Although he didn't win much, the rest of the team help him out to much-----[Philadelphia]
