No chance he starts tomorrow
Call up Sparks. Give him a game. Might as well see how he looks.
Babcock said there's no update but ideally he starts tomorrow.
So maybe he got told it was just precautionary?
No.
Tomorrow is still a huge game and will determine whether we play WSH or OTT in first round.
If Andersen isn't good to go, you 100% play McElhinney again.
I was just told that no matter what we play Ottawa, is that true?

I believe we win, we play the Sens, we lose tomorrow, we play the Caps.
So it's a big game - just not as big as tonight's was.
Win = Ottawa
OT Win/Loss = Ottawa
Loss = Washington
Makes sense to rest him and roll the dice with McBackup ... But that's just me

Ya youre right. McElhinney earned the start with that save
This is going to be a massive problem for the Leafs if Freddy can't handle these little shots to the head. I get that it was a cheap play but these things are never going to stop happening our goalie needs to be able to handle them. We had the same problem with Reimer.
