Recalled/Assigned: Hutchinson Back Up, Kaskisuo Sent Down

[Mess]

In Hutchenson's 6 regular starts he has given up 5 goals against X 4 and 4 goals against X 2 and the only point he secured in net was in a 6-5 in a SO loss to Montreal.

Your odds of winning a game needing to score 6 or 5 goals minimum are not great.

The fact the Hutchenson has been waived throughout the league unclaimed further evidence that its time for a Cool Change as Little River Band would sing.

At least now Dubas can (hopefully) move forward and address this glaring issue on the roster.

I think giving Hutch another shot was the right thing to do under the circumstances, but he just can't cut it at this level.

Why would you think that. As I told you it will cost us 2 more points. I was trying to stay positive yesterday as I thought Leafs could just outscore the issue. But reality is we get 6 Hutch will give up 7.

Hmm could we lure cujo out of retirement?

 

[ULF_55]

Too bad keepers aren't allowed to play back to backs anymore.

 

[jaric1862]

Leafs need a backup goalie. If the Devils retained on Domingue, I think the leafs should put the third on the table

Because we needed to see how Hutch would respond under Keefe before considering moving assets to address the issue. Now it's absolutely clear that the backup goaltender situation is in crisis mode.

The players wanted Hutch. The players play and the coaches coach. What is wrong with this regime?

Lol. See how he would respond to Keefe. He’s a goalie. His job is to stop pucks, it doesn’t matter who is behind the bench. The excuses never end.

Yeah from a social/people person point of view. Everyone gets a clean slate. But enough is enough.

I’d say taking player input and giving everyone an opportunity is quite important and one of the driving factors of the coaching change. That said, time’s up for Hutch.

I’d rather give them a mid range AHL prospect than a pick.

That should have been done after his 3rd start at the latest

Ok now lets fix it. I watched both Woll and Kask play this weekend. Well done by Leafs putting Saturdays game at Scotia so easy to watch both games what a treat. and then Sunday at Coca Cola. Neither guy is close to ready. We are in deep sh*t. I would not put Hutch, Kask or Woll in the net. Guaranteed loss. I can't see any other option but a trade today or tomorrow.

Yup. Tristan Jarry would be ideal.

I give credit for Keefe for being creative and trying something new in starting Hutch for the first game in a back to back in an afternoon start, similar to the AHL

That said, can we please stop throwing away points with bad backup goaltending?

I don't expect an all star performance from a backup but you should at least be looking at a 50/50 chance to win. Right now I feel like there is only a 0-5% chance we walk away from with points with Hutch in net.

 

[Mess]

I wonder if we're going to see Keefe try and win a game with Kaskisuo this week?

 

[Rogue Leader]

I would really rather not, but he will give Kask a shot before he makes any trades, unfortunately (a new shot - this time under Keefe).

 

[Teeder Keon]

I wish Johnny Bower was still around
I miss him ....

 

[Marshy]

Get a backup today. I beg you Kyle.

You can only get so creative with 2 AHL goaltenders. Start him first or 2nd of the back to back & you're going to get the same results. We know what he is at this point of the season.

Would Habs eat 1M AAV on Kinkaid if he clears and accept trade for Hutch??????? Maybe best for both guys to do a reset??????????
