exactly what did he do to earn a longer shot?
and if someone mentions AHL goalie of the year I'mma gonna smack them. that doesn't matter.

It clearly does to this front office.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Gotta bury that

And what did Mc do to NOT earn a other shot? I mean his numbers were ridiculous last year.

 

[DarkKnight]

It clearly does to this front office.

Mirtle doesn't speak for the front office, this notion he spoons with Dubas is hilarious.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

nobody in this game outside of the Lindholm line will be in the NHL this year

 

[TheDoldrums]

Also says McBackup would clear but I guess assumes Spark would be claimed, when a team is more likely to claim McBackup than Sparks

Why would you think that? We got Pickard because Vegas preferred Subban, a worse goalie with less of a track record due to his upside.

 

[Battle Lin]

johnsson showing why hes calder cup mvp

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Snooze

 

[Suntouchable13]

I think we are absolutely screwed if Andersen goes down for any significant period of time. I guess many teams can say that, but I still feel we are weak behind Andy. McElhinney can not handle a starters load, I don't care how good of a backup he is. Pickard and Sparks are pretty meh.

 

[BertCorbeau]

AJ and Kap haven't dazzled in these preseason games but they're getting better as they go and get into game shape

 

[TheDoldrums]

Mirtle doesn't speak for the front office, this notion he spoons with Dubas is hilarious.

And the notion that he's a moron because he's saying what people don't want hear is equally hilarious.

 

[jaric1862]

Expecting this board to melt down when this happens

Lmao when it comes to goalies this guy makes 0 sense. He has flat out said on his podcast that he could see the leafs trading Andersen sometime and rolling sparks and someone else for 41 games each

 

[DarkKnight]

Really thought Grundstrom would show better this camp, he isn't even in the conversation.

 

[Cleetus]

nobody in this game outside of the Lindholm line will be in the NHL this year

McBackup?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Niemi's had a pretty steady game

 

[Cleetus]

could of used some Emerson Clark tonight!

 

[Cor]

Why would you think that? We got Pickard because Vegas preferred Subban, a worse goalie with less of a track record due to his upside.

Because Malcolm Subban was 23 and considered a guy with starting potential and Garret Sparks is 25 and is a guy with backup potential.

Also McBackup is also considered a a far better backup goalie than Pickard was a year ago.

So yeah, that’s about the least similar scenario you could bring up

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

Not allowed to try and hit people in today's NHL.

 

[DarkKnight]

And the notion that he's a moron because he's saying what people don't want hear is equally hilarious.

That tweet makes no sense whatsoever, he isn't a moron, but that reads like a guy who can't admit he's wrong.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Lol f*** off Hudon, that knee contact only happened cause he jumped out of the way like a wuss

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

McBackup?

I don't really count him as playing in the game

 

[BertCorbeau]

Didn't look like Borgy went for the knee's intentionally

 

[Stand Witness]

Didn't look like Borgy went for the knee's intentionally

Only way Borg was trying to go knee on knee was if he was willing to break his neck on the boards trying to do it.

 

[Melo Meds]

How is that a penalty? Hudon tried to jump out of the way and got his leg clipped. Could understand if Borgman stuck his leg out.

 

[Alerion]

Johnsson has been pretty invisible for a guy who I have high hopes for this season.
