David Ayres Appreciation thread

[Lisa Needs Braces]

It would be amazing if they could bring him and his wife in for a night to conduct the storm surge. 1st home playoff game would be awesome!

 

[cphabs]

Does he have a rookie card? I hope one is made for next year if not!

 

[Svechhammer]

NHL20 should push out an update today to get him added, but only as a single use goalie whos stats are completely maxxed out

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Poor Sara Civ missed out on going to the game. I know that's gotta hurt because the stories from the locker room would have been lit. Still can't wait to read about this game. I want it in my veins.

Leaf fan coming in peace. I was happy for Ayres last night and was cheering for him. The Leafs were so bad that they couldn't get a shot anywhere near him in the 3rd. The Canes played their hearts out in front of him and they could have played without a goalie and still win easily. We are ashamed of our team today. No heart at all. Canes should have had a storm surge on Toronto ice.

No need. Every time the Zamboni comes out at Scotia Bank Place, there will be a Storm Surge in your hearts.

They probably will have him go to a home game and sound the siren at the very least.

That Maple Leafs logo on the side of the Zamboni? Yeah....

Just finished watching the game, what an amazing moment and one of the highlights of the season for, I got to think, most NHL fans, except for maybe fans of the Leafs...
Ayres solid in the third!
Also got to give gigantic props to your team, the third was one of the most dominant, defensive periods of hockey ive ever seen. Not sure what the Leafs were doing, absolutely 0 poise.
BIG cred to Ayres, BIG creds to your Canes team.

We know that feel bro. All to well.

[Gnome17]

haha wow he was a Bruins fan growing up!
Makes this story even more bizzare, he works for the leafs organisation, is a Bruins fan, and get to win against the Leafs as a Hurricane.

 

[cphabs]

Fantastic!

 

[Leafsforever89]

The sad thing is that Ayres is at Leafs practice today as we speak.

If the Canes win a cup, this guy needs to get a ring.

How hockey fans rallying behind Ayers felt.

DUBAS = THANOS CONFIRMED?

It's missing Steve Austin and Jamie Summers.

Even though my team lost, it's a feel good story that happened on the same day 40 years ago the U.S team upset the Russians.

If you ask me, whichever Canes player told him "just have fun and enjoy it, we don't care if you let in 10 goals" did his team well. It helped him relax, do his best and not overthink. He didn't need much to do since the Canes D (and offense) focused on shutting down the Leafs, even after two PP's.

The Canes deserved to win as they wanted it more. The zamboni driver got an NHL win and a story to share for the rest of his life.

IT WAS HAULA.

I’m a huge Caps fan but just want to say the whole story is so awesome. I’ve gained a huge amount of respect I’ve never thought I would gain after losing to you guys last year because I was salty af. Very cool by the Canes players saying to just have fun. Cheers

 

[Lucky Lindy]

This is awesome if true.

 

[Justshootmore]

Or the game against the Leafs

But Tuesday is great as well!

Proof that Haula hates it here. "Give up ten goals, no one would care!"

 

[Dan Kelly]

I was at work and saw what happened all over the internet and Sportsnet/TSN webpage, What a great story anytime a emergency goalie gets in you can't help but cheer for them. This has got to be one of the best feel good stories of the year. Dave Ayres needs his own hockey card!

I agree! And deliver a gold foil one to his house on a placard that says something about him being the oldest goalie to win his NHL debut!!

Holy crap this guy had a kidney transplant??? Man I like him even more now!

 

[SlavinAway]

Best hockey story in a long time!

Oh I’d say best story in 40 years; give or take a few hours.
