NFT: Rangers fans...how much rope would a rusty Lundqvist get?

Please do not flame me or call me Fish or Brett or whatever (I truly don't understand most of the insults on the game threads, lol), but I was thinking about this for the past three games. Lundqvist has shown himself to be susceptible to cold streaks (post Olympics last year, beginning of the season last year, beginning of this year) and Talbot is not just kissed by an angel, his glove looks outstanding and he is clearly in the zone.

The thing that concerns me is that is not very much time for Henrik to get back in the zone in terms of the regaular season. Obviously he is going to start in the playoffs barring him looking handicapped in net when he returns, but at what point do you go back to Talbot? At this point, this team is built as a win now team and Henrik is still the best goalie in the game, but if Talbot is hot and Lundqvist is letting in 3/4+ per game going into the playoffs, how long do you stick with him?

Again, I am not advocating that we are better off with Talbot in the crease, but how much of a leash do you give a cold starting goalie? Interested to see if anybody else had thought about this.
