His work in the crease was impressive.. Cannot believe he didnt put one of those in the net in the 1st period. Great goaltending by Mason. I think they should keep him here as well. Put him with some better players (Eichel) and see if they can get anything going together. Plus who doesnt like rooting for a home town kid?

With Deslauriers falling out of the first line last night, I imagine Bailey gets a chance to move up off the 4th tonight - and at home too.

Homecoming for Bailey on a night when my father is coming in to town here in SC. Fun coincidence

So with the Stamkos speculation re tsn, could Bob Mackenzie be in on Babcock 2.0? Hype up a false rumour to Buffalo to drive up value and price while deflecting attention away from Leafs? Hate to think it could run that deep but would not be aurprised

FFS.....Garth with a Leafs attack blog (2nd this week), and now a rip on the Flyers...

How is playing in the NHL a bad thing for a while? Being on the roster and in the press box, sure, but playing against the elites of the hockey world is pretty damn good

I think this guy is probably a classic late bloomer. Let him dominate down there and then come up when he is ready. The classic detroit model (Larkin is a rare exception because of his skill). Also, didn't he come to hockey later than most?

Also, it sets his RFA clock back. No good reason to have him on this train wreck right now.
