Greiss Up, Patzold Down

Press release from the team here.

Goalies have to see live pucks to play well. Dimitri Patzold, of course, has seen almost no playing time as Evgeni Nabokov's backup. I suspect this move means that A) Nabokov will continue to start every game, and B) Doug Wilson sees Patzold as the emergency replacement should something happen to Nabokov (knock on wood), wants him to stay (or possibly get) sharp, and will recall him if disaster strikes and he can't acquire a more seasoned goalie by other means.
