How about that for Pavelec, confidence has gone in the toilet.

I don't think his confidence is in the toilet, I think he had a streak that was well outside his normal range and now he's regressing. He's a below average goaltender and always has been. This shouldn't be surprising.
And Michael Hutchinson also isn't the best goalie in the league, but I like the way Maurice plays the odds. The only thing stopping Pavelec's regression is the bench, so keep him there. But goaltending is a lot like starting pitching - when you're new, nobody knows what you've got. A few times through the order, though, and your tendencies become evident. I won't be surprised to see a few bad ones hung on Hutch in the near future, but it sure is nice to see that we've got something in the pipeline...
