The Carolina Hurricanes had to turn to 42-year-old emergency backup goalie Dave Ayres on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

He not only held his own against one of the NHL’s most powerful offensive teams, he beat them.

Ayres, a Zamboni driver for the AHL’s Toronto Marlies and the emergency backup for both teams on Saturday night, was forced into action midway through the second period after Hurricanes goalies Petr Mrazek and James Reimer had to exit the game due to injury. He ended up stopping eight out of the 10 shots he faced -- while also recording a shot on goal of his own -- in a 6-3 Hurricanes win.

 
Didn't realize that it was crap on toronto day again today.

3 current threads (in the top 10 current ones) all relating to Toronto, I get it but man there is more to hockey right?
 
5 years ago since this pathetic embarrassment but just now have the Leafs very slightly adjusted anything about how their team is run.
