Wow.....never saw that coming

 

[McTrashBoat]

Damn, I was afraid of that.

 

[SEALBound]

I'm shocked! Shocked I say! ...well not that shocked.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Smart move, let Bibeau develop in the minors and give Freddy some rest.

 

[mikeyp24]

Good for him. Most jacket fans wanted him.sent down to start the year. Happy he gets an nhl job and doesn't have to finish his career in the minors just yet he's a good locker room guy from what I can tell.

 

[KlefDown]

thank god Oilers didn't.
he'll be a tire fire

 

[CBJfan44]

Glad he got picked up, best of luck to Curtis.

 

[AvsGuy]

This guy is like the backup goaltender who will just never give up the dream. The revenge of Michael Leighton.

 

[SprDaVE]

Meh.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

thank god Oilers didn't.

Because "The Monster" is lighting it up

 

[Vitto79]

they realize he stinks right?

I mean the guy makes $800,000 per year to ride the pine. Why would you give up the dream and give up $800,000 per year to work at possibly best job in the world?

 

[al secord]

They should just give us the cup now.

 

[Warden of the North]

they realize he stinks right?

Our goalie depth is the worst in the league. We have Andersen and thats pretty much it.

 

[KlefDown]

Because "The Monster" is lighting it up

because "The Monster" was put on waviers the same time as Curtis.
good try though.

 

[Tripod]

Damn, I was afraid of that.

Philly will trade you Neuvirth.

 

[thewave]

People clearly not understanding how bad we are at G. We have Andersen...

 

[McTrashBoat]

Philly will trade you Neuvirth.

for?

 

[Mr Positive]

Because "The Monster" is lighting it up

he was sent down too, but you have a point in that our rookie goalie might not fare much better

 

[Tripod]

for?

Ideally....a pick.

 

[SprDaVE]

People clearly not understanding how bad we are at G. We have Andersen...

Dunno but Bibeau has a 1.99 GAA and a .927% save percentage in his 2 games... won't get much better than that out of your backup.

He was not needed to me. But it's also not a big deal.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

they realize he stinks right?

He's not the guy I'd want but he CAN NOT be worse than Enroth

 

[Beville]

How come this has happened? (As a non Leafs fan, just wondering the context).

Actually, Michael Leighton is the revenge of Michael Leighton. He's the current backup of the Carolina Hurricanes.
