Wings 4th string goalie. Sure hope Ned stays healthy.

Here we go, an AHL guy who has terrible AHL stats. If he plays a game I expect a shutout.....................for the other team. Hope we keep it under 6 against! I don't blame Steve though, as our current goalies are doing so bad you have to maybe try anything.

What's the worst that can happen? Someone scores 11 goals on the Wings?

Or one of the worst teams in the league gets 9?

Honestly as I type this I kinda think they should start him next game. Maybe that will inspire the team to actually commit to defense.

can we fill out the sheet? 0-12 goals against games?

For the past month, Detroit goaltending as a whole has been Emergency Conditions.

I still want to see Blash in net.

Who's the Wings' emergency third man? Salajko? Ozzie? (That would be hilarious if he stepped out of the booth and on to the ice)

Only if Ozzy is mic'd up and has a beer in his water bottle holder.

Mic'd up for sure, but this isn't a beer league.

I tried brining a beer out to the mound when I pitched beer league softball..... ump wouldn't allow it. I guess beer league is a figure of speech, lol.
