Games in in hand on everyone except the Pens. Need to make the most of them

This Toronto thing feels a lot like the Buttfumble for the Jets.

So ridiculous how the refs protect Malkin. Guy is a dirty player and always yapping now when he’s finally getting tagged up the zebras step in between to save him.

Malkin doing dirty shit like he always does, extra shots after the whistle

I know it was a chance of a lifetime for Ayres so he gave his all but was just wondering. He is the Toronto zamboni driver who has practiced with them, so would he be conflicted at all? they didnt ask him after the game. If I were the Isles zamboni driver, and had to play against them in the same situation when the Isles are fighting for their playoff lives.. I would have to at least give it a thought ... but like I said chance of a lifetime and you want to make the best of it. Great story and good for him.

I know what you mean, but I've been in that situation (not in the NHL), and whatever your thoughts may be ahead of time, once the game starts, it's you against the guy with the puck, and you will do your damnedest to not let him score.

 

[notDatsyuk]

So someone answer this. Is there always an emergency goaltender sitting in the stands at every NHL game who could be picked up for $500 by either team? Been watching hockey for over 40 years and never heard of this.

So Ayers is now done as an EBUG right? There’s no way the leafs can see that guy in practice or around the facility at all, I think. It’d be humiliating.

He was actually on the ice earlier today for an optional Leafs practice. Apparently only the injured Mikheyev and Nylander were there.

 

[notDatsyuk]

I'm pretty sure they need to supply two emergency goaltenders in case both teams lose both goalies. I believe the Athletic had a piece about it not too long ago but I could be mistaken. Usually it's local beer league guys (higher levels) and work or play a ton in the area so they're well known. They usually have experience playing at some competitive level but it's not like they're AHLers or even ECHL caliber I don't think.

Only one emergency in-game. If four goalie got hurt in one game, they'd have to reschedule.

Thanks, saw the video now. For whatever reason, I didn't see it before. Must have been an issue with it loading on my phone.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Those days are behind me. I play forward now and won't ever go back in the net...unless Lou is willing to give the 3 goalie system a try himself. What a walk (skate?) off song that would be though!



I thought the same thing, but it's probably instinct. The biggest thing with coming out like that is that the goalie better be damn sure he's going to beat the player. If he's going to get clobbered he needs to protect himself by sliding or something so it doesn't catch him up high.

Welcome to the club, PK. I hung up the pads at 49, after I tore my ACL. I'm 67 now, and just play defence.

Could've sworn I read there were two someplace. Terrible luck if you lose four goalies in a game.

There are usually a number of goalies around that the home team knows are available - for example if a goalie is injured pregame - but only one on hand during a game, in case of two injuries during the game.

Pretty crazy.

Not to make light of this, but I can't help and think of those wacky Russian videos on YT.
