What kinda deal is Garrison looking at?

Let's see if it's just for AHL duties first. Maybe they still sign Hedberg

Dustin Leed seems to think this was a Phantoms-minded signing.

Michael (frank)in Leighton. Dogpoop. This franchise just doesn't (frank)ing get it. Loser move right out of the shoot.

Relax. Chips about to fall

Just take a breath.... then if you still want to jump off the bridge, I won't stop you.

Relax, signing Leighton really is not a big deal at all...

At the end of the day, it's only a back-up.

Let's see what Homer has up his sleeves.

OMG THE MAYBE BACKUP GOALIE SUCKS FIRE HOLGMREN

Or not. They're going to need to ride Bryz most of the season regardless, so the backup should be mostly irrelevant. If we're relying on our backup for anything more than a few starts, something's wrong.

I guess signing Leighton takes the Flyers out of the Brodeur sweepstakes

Is Garrison maybe even a better player to sign than Carle? Assuming his cap hit will be much lower?

just hearing flyers have likely signed Michael Leighton

Look at it this way: How many other teams in the league will be able to boast a goalie tandem with as much Stanley Cup Finals experience since the lockout as the Flyers?

Should bring in Roloson as the third guy for insurance

Why would there be a concern with the AHL goaltenders when the Flyers don't have a backup in place. Leighton is the backup to Bryz. Can't move on from this sack of poop he's got to be thrown in the fans faces. Embarrassing signing.

We need for Carle to sign with the Avs or Ducks so Homer can focus

I'm ok with the Leighton signing but I wonder if they get another tender for a backup.

I pray that's the case

I can live with Michal Leighton backing up. He's cheap and gives Bryzgalov a chance to play most of the season.

Have to get treated now for PTSD now that Leighton has signed again.

I'm trying to think positive.

Objectively speaking, Leighton as the backup for 15 or however many games isn't a total dunce move (barring a big injury to Bryz). Unobjectively speaking from my perspective, I can't stand it and just want the guy gone. I have few players over the years I just... want gone for whatever reason. Leighton is one of them for whatever reason. I can't explain it.

I pray that's the case
