Do you think he would clear?

I think it would be a little surprising if he was claimed, but it is possible.
- Aetherial

I'd be willing to bet he'd get claimed. I highly doubt the Leafs waive him.

That was Garret's first, and easiest shutout of his career.

the pipes also help him.

By who??

What did you think of Sparkes' performance ?
- bixll

Was that the question? I can't find it anywhere. For sure Simmons, Cox, Feschuk, Mirtle etc. would have written about it by now

I think I am with Dozzer and DD, I can't see anyone claiming the guy at that salary.

This is no doubt a slump, but I think a look at the last couple years shows he isn't worth that contract.

By who??
- bixll

I could see Buffalo, possibly Calgary or Edm for sure that may take a shot.

keep him away from the toaster as well. We all know what happen to RC.

By who??
- bixll

Possibly the Flames. Or the Oilers. Or the Avs, Hurricanes, Sabres.

Guys, the future is Sparks. Why are we still talking Reimer and Bernier?


He's on pace for a no goals against career.
Will likely win the Vezina this season, and the Calder.

someone pinch Glucky here to wake him up.

he single handedly dragged the Leafs into playoff positioning for about 18 months until the bottom fell out last year. there is something there... there is talent. he reminds me of Jose Theodore around that age with just ridiculous fluctuations in his play that lasted for long stretches. Theodore was also a bit of a moron/prima donna. but eventually he ended up being a reliable goalie through his 30s.

Yeah I think it depends whether GMS think last half season was solely Bernier's fault or the whole team.

Then they have to think is this just a slump and getting worse with the Toronto vultures. Can we get him in our market and turn him around like Dubnyk, Mason, Smith type of thing.

Can we handle his contract for 18 months if it doesn't work out. I'd bet a team would be willing to take a flier on him.

its inbetween the ears with him

talent is there.. but something has him completely screwed up between the ears
- Dozzer

GF told him to bugger off. No sex for you while I'm filming.

Has anyone told Sparks that he beat the Oilers? I mean my division 11 team can shut them out too... He probably didn't even keep the puck... Just lit it on fire and told everyone to come out to his next game to see his debut in the NHL

Similar to Kadri. Everyone expects so much. Every once in a while they do something spectacular, and are thought of as a quality player for a couple of days.

But they are similar. Underachieving.

Kadri finally hit the back of the net.. Well kind of.

Let's see how many games Sparks gets before Reimer is back. It's clear that Babcock has no faith in Bernier but they really don't know what they have in Sparks yet. Last night doesn't really tell us that much.

he did keep the puck by the way.

I say move Komo to Lupul's line ( if he ever returns )

Both JVR and Kadri like to go to the net...not enough goals to go around for that group of 3 IMO

Kadri/JVR/Matthias
Bozak/Komogod/PaP

something along those lines

What don't you understand about this.. ?? Is Kadri not under achieving ?

So, you think woman as well.. ??
- bixll

i wont pretend to know lol

What don't you understand about this.. ?? Is Kadri not under achieving ?
- bixll

only in scoring.. not his overall game

and he potted another last night

Komo has to shave the mustache.. magic is gone, good time to trade him..sell high

- Dozzer

One hit him and went in last night.. Potted one...OK.

- Canada Cup

Agreed. It also goes against the patient, not rushing players theory they have practiced thus far

- senstroll

He makes that line...we hope the magic's not gone...Kadri has all those shots because Komarov gives him the puck as soon as he can and heads for the net.
