Around the NHL (Part XVIII) - Tankiest tank to have ever tanked

[CptnSerious]

Oh, Leafs.

So Nashville just looks a little bit less invincible the last few times I've seen them.

So Nashville just looks a little bit less invincible the last few times I've seen them.

Yeah. They have looked pedestrian lately.

 

[Any Colour You Like]

The fact that Andrey Vasilevskiy wears #88 as a goalie is so unceasingly badass to me.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

I want to see a forward or defenseman wear #1

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Uh.... both of Florida's goaltenders went down. They have to suit someone else up.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

So Florida is down both it's goalies and Upshall and MacKenzie are discussing about who's going to suit up.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Robbie freaking Tallas might be in net boys!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Montoya ruins the fun by coming back onto the ice.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Montoya's going back in?!?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Obviously hurt. Looks like a 70's goalie.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I don't know why they're doing this. Montoya's obviously struggling and he's gotta have very limited movement.

Just risking injury.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Montoya to the bench. Tallas being asked to dress. Outstanding. Dale Tallon on the bench.

Reminds me of when Harry Lumley was in the Wings organization in the 40s. He had been sent to the minors but was in the stands that night when the Rangers' goalie went down (back in the days when teams only carried one goalie, so the home team was expected to provide a replacement if the starter went down). The Wings volunteered him as the Rags' replacement, and he actually whitewashed them. Jack Adams said, "the best Red Wing player tonight wasn't even wearing a Red Wings uniform!"

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Tallas is dressed on the bench.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

And Toronto scores. Montoya can't play.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

This is just criminal mismanagement. Florida's practically asking for Montoya to get injured longterm.

They're not doing their playoff hopes any favors risking injury to their backup and having a guy that's obviously struggling in net.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Florida is carrying play. Toronto is this awful.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Lu's back.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Luongo goes from a suit ten minutes ago to fully dressed and replaces Montoya.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Luongo back in.

This is officially the craziest thing I've ever seen.

 

[Any Colour You Like]

Luongo in, then their player gets hit in the face by a puck on the PP.

wut.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

By itself, this game made my GCL subscription worthwhile....

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Toronto takes a game they had no business being in.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Way to be +1 in a period against injured goalies, Toronto.
