Still on that, eh?

Sparks deserved a chance, we drafted and developed him. Is also 10 years younger than McElhinney and was the AHL goalie of the year last year.

My favourite thing is how after a couple of losses the idiot fringe gets louder and louder.

NHL.com says tonight's game is free.

So can I just follow the links and have it streaming on my tablet?

Thanks in advance!

Three goalies is never a good idea.

In fact, it's a franking terrible idea.

- Atomic Wedgie

having holl for 75+ in the stands is a terrible idea as well.
i know it's a nuisance in practices.
but need to maximize the point totals. sparks was never going to help with that

Some of this fanbase don’t deserve a Cup. They deserve to continuously live in misery and sorrow.

He's great at serving popcorn though. McBackup could never figure out how much butter to put on it.

My favourite thing is how - should the Leafs win a cup - they're going to be the first to tell us all about how they were right.

It was stated that his contract will start next and he'll sign a professional contract and play for the Marlies for the remainder of the year and playoffs.

Oh I thought you meant like next calendar year. Yeah his NHL contract doesn't start until next season. And I alluded to that by omitting jake garfiner.

How convenient for NHL.com to choose the game this year that is likely to have the lowest Leafs viewership of all.

Well they could be right.
If they won the cup, after doing what theyve been complaining about, the leafs actuallt did.

Or getting mcbackup back. That appears to be todays "key to success".

Why are you guys worried?

Poop just got real, yo.

My only issue is if Mclennan could see he wasnt that great then how did the pro scouts not see it? On top of most AHL "of the year" recipients usually dont become good NHLers. Look at previous goalie of the years. Remember TJ Brennan? All star ahl defenseman.

I would have thought the midday Carolina game would have the least.

Why do you think that?

Leafs vs Flyers always has some cachet to it.

Both?

Even if people watch, they won't remember. It's like they never watched it at all.

Leafs bad.

People ramming themselves to any irish pub they can find (or invading english/scottish pubs and then acting irish).

(frank) guys. Ya gotta stop the Sparks bashing. Over reaction at its finest IMO. His 9.06 compared to mcbackups 9.14 is about one goal diff over about 3 or 4 games. Plus Mcbackups defense in front of him is a lot better overall then what Sparks gets. Plus sparks seems to get the poop end of the stick with a tired team in front of him on back to backs. It also seems he gets thrown to the wolves with a hope for the best. Plus the projected shots against is nuts. I'm pretty sure if it was equal games played, Sparks would see over 100 more shots. There's your one goal ever 3to4 right there. Sparks style of play scares me but to say he isn't doing his job and that he was the wrong choice is just stupid. Mcbackup has a decade more experience. (frank) peeps, goalies take time.

Took McElhinney 10-12 years in the league to finally put up some decent numbers in the league.

Every year prior he was garbage.

People are quick to compare Sparks to him for whatever reason.

All we can do is hope over time Sparks gets a lot more calm in the net, and control his rebounds better.

Or after next season we move on from him and try a new backup if any are available.
