Nothing Sparks could do there

Holl with a brain cramp.

 

[Stand Witness]

How was that his fault

If he wasn't 3 feet out of the crease he may have got the rebound.

Who the hell is Cockney Niemi?

 

[BertCorbeau]

If he wasn't 3 feet out of the crease he may have got the rebound.

He was at the top of the crease and there's no way he would have gotten there.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

If he wasn't 3 feet out of the crease he may have got the rebound.

He was at the edge of the crease, puck deflected right to a wide open Habs player.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Sparks is trash.

did you actually watch the play?

 

[Schooner]

Sparks = Reimer 2.0

 

[Kamiccolo]

How was that his fault

How can you watch that turnover and deflection and blame Sparks?

Turnover had nothing to do with it. The puck was behind him and in the net before he even realized the puck wasn't in front of him, and he wasn't screened. He was so far out of the net, when he should have backed up like Freddy does and covers as much of the net as possible.

He's trash because I watched him all last year and he hasn't changed. Not good enough to track the puck at NHL speed, swims far too much, and gets out of position a lot making him make these huge saves which make him look good.

He is basically Reimer.

 

[Northernguy10]

Sandin is such a smart player. Great poise with the puck even under pressure.

If you're talking about that flip pass just inside the opponent's blue line it showed both his poise and creativity...The future looks bright for him...Cerebral player.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

lmao @ blaming the goalie on a giveaway by the D right into the slot followed by a fluke bounce right to a wide open player

 

[Battle Lin]

horrible turnover and horrible bounce

 

[Canada4Gold]

Who the hell is Cockney Niemi?

Better version of Auntie Niemi?

 

[FlareKnight]

I will agree that Sparks seems rather...mobile in the net and can struggle to follow where the puck is. But he's also made some good saves in the first period. Will be interesting to see how the first half of this game for him goes.

Sparks = Reimer 2.0

Sparks = Sparks.

You watched him all last year where his won AHL goalie of the year and a .936 S% in the playoffs?

 

[Trapper]

Subban looks pretty good

He looks very smooth on his skates.
Hope he can put it together on the Marlies.

 

[TheDoldrums]

He is basically Reimer.

I don't understand people saying this as an insult about our potential backup. Reimer on a ELC sounds pretty good.

 

[BertCorbeau]

This Grundy-Brooks-Bracco line looks great, all 3 are looking good out there

 

[Leafs at Knight]

He looks very smooth on his skates.
Hope he can put it together on the Marlies.

I was going to say he looks jittery and nervous out there.

 

[crump]

Well they are getting chances. Aside from the Holl gaff, they are playing alright.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Sparks = Reimer 2.0

So what you're saying is he should win the backup battle?

Everyone should want to have a 700k Reimer as their backup, regardless of how it looks, it's effective.

 

[Leafidelity]

Greening man, get your stick in the play

 

[TMLeafer]

Niemi might be better than Price

 

[saffronleaf]

Damnit, rushed home from work thinking we'd see Matthews and Tavares. Instead it's a preseason Marlies game. Bah.

 

[SprDaVE]

Leafs are dominating despite the score.
