Mersch is 24, drafted 5 years ago, has known skating issues himself, and been in the AHL for a couple years. If he was good enough irregardless, he'd be a King. Sutter loves slow guys.
So far this season, complaining about King or Purcell is a luxury.
Christmas commercials...already. Can't even wait until Thanksgiving...

"Why won't Sutter pull Budaj! Why won't Sutter pull Budaj!"
Pull Budaj. Habs immediately score.
That's why. Now shut up.
He pulled him after the pp was over and it was too late, so shut your self up moron.
Sutter won't play him until injuries force him.
It's not a luxury when they're eating up top 6 minutes with no positive results or even flashes of positivity. It's not a matter of Mersch being our savior. It's about trying something different and someone who will at the very least be hungry to prove himself.
Implying the Habs wouldn't be just taking pot shots from their own end without worrying about icing. Kings have done nothing but give up goals when pulling the goalie for the extra man. Why do it when you're trying to get back into the game with a power play?
Take your Patrick Roy nonsense and go.
I can't imagine Sutter likes Purcell, so if Mersch can't even beat him out...
Purcell and King are playing for contracts. Mersch has how many ES strength goals in the AHL? One. A couple PP goals though. So do Hensick, Auger, and Bjorkstrand. Why not call for them? Bjorkstrand has 2 goals in 3 games.
