Sparks deserves more chances before passing judgement, but that's was some pure shit goaltending last night and does nothing to suggest he's going to get the job done.
Yes. I'm rooting for the guy.Why not give Sparks a chance guys...?
Looked like an AHL goalie to me.
6 goals against including 2 goalies in that last 1:30 after his team gave him the lead twice.
How about a save big guy.
Anyone else want to know who made the decision on Sparks, McBackup, Carrick etc?
I want to know so bad if it was Babs or Dubas. I have to know!
Dubas, he said clearly before the cuts the final decision is his, with input from Babs and others.Anyone else want to know who made the decision on Sparks, McBackup, Carrick etc?

Babs liked Carrick more than Marincin, as evidenced by the latter being put on waivers last year and Carrick staying. Again, I see Dubas here with Holl and Marincin, there is a clear theme of liking his Calder guys.Right or wrong, the Leafs were looking long term and wanted to see if Sparks was an NHL goalie (we still don't know). I would guess it was Dubas, as having McBackup was easy coaching decision for the this year.
Carrick? Certainly Babcock didn't think he was NHL good by Carrick's lack of ice time for most of last season. Time to move on. Interesting tomorrow when Polak and Carrick will manning the Stars defence.

True. Good points.Lol yep.
Keep in mind, alot of these 'get rid of Sparks after a 1 game victory' people, ( lol ) are the same people who were yelling for :
Marner to traded during his slump, Matthews to be traded while he was injured before people caught on, Freddy to be traded in October, all during last years 105 pt record settting season lmao

For a big goalie, he plays really small.
You can tell he is out of his depth right now, but that is part of the growing pains with a young goalie and a young team. Hopefully as he plays more he gains more confidence.
Babscock though Sparks had a good game ? lol , how the **** did you get that out of the pucks kept going into our net ?
Goalies take time, but 4 different times the Leafs had the lead and 4 times Sparks gave it up.
What's not to like about a goalie with a 6.0 GAA and .806 sv% and 4 times the Leafs gave him the lead and 4 times he gave it right back to Chicago?
well it could be Chicago .s goalie lmao .lots of goalies are struggling this yearWhat's not to like about a goalie with a 6.0 GAA and .806 sv% and 4 times the Leafs gave him the lead and 4 times he gave it right back to Chicago?
