That's pretty much the old strategy with Patrick Lalime in Buffalo at the end of his career.  He was the full-time backup but rarely played as Jhonas Enroth (their goalie of the future at the time) would get recalled to spot start when Ryan Miller needed a day off. 

 

Was it Lalime, or Jocelyn thibault?

 

I remember both were Sabres backups.

Thibault only played for one year in Buffalo and that year, it was only him and Miller between the pipes.

 

Fair enough, i just remember both end their careers as a shadow of their former selves, stuck in Buffalo behind Miller.
