Yeah I think we all saw this coming. Hopefully he helps us out and he isn’t needed for very long.

 

[1specter]

Really happy for him. Came in as an underdog after leaving the Wings org and worked his way up from the ECHL. Awesome potential and getting rewarded for a great start with the Marlies this season.

 

[sxvnert]

About time. Clearly the Samsonov injury is worse than a couple of games.

 

[Menzinger]

Dubas' works fast

No necessarily.
We needed some insurance with no healthy #3 option available and we finally had the contract spot to do it.

Yep. At the very least the Leafs could potentially want to try another backup for Samsonov longer term too with Murray still out for a while

Dubas' works fast

He had to.

 

[SprDaVE]

I never expected this to happen so fast. They had absolutely no choice.

Please be a diamond in the rough superstar draft pick. We deserve a homerun!

One more:

 

[Judas Tavares]

Ok I know I'm the only one who cares about this but. He was in Belleville tonight. Do you think the Leafs waited for him to return before taking off, or does he take a regular flight, likely needing a connection. I'm so intrigued!

I’ve got a extra good feeling about this one

 

[Divine]

I would prefer him starting tomorrow over the sub. 900 against bottom feeders Lindgren but he played today.

Then again, so did Kallgren.. but unfortunately, I doubt they want him to make his NHL debut back to back.

If I have the right flight they departed Pearson at 11:02 so Petruzzelli likely wasn’t on board

Should be interesting...

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Good for him. Well-deserved. He is a great interview too.

Certainly softens the Scott loss.

 

[ULF_55]

What a brilliant move, waiving Aube-Kubel so that they could sign Petruzzelli.

Show me another GM that so precisely predict the future like that!

Sparks terrible
Scott retired from injuries
Woll hurt
Murray hurt
Samsonov hurt
Kallgren yikes

Help us Petruzzelli ... you're our only hope

He's been on my radar ever since we got him from the wings. Any 6'6 goalie who's consistently over .920 sv% the last few years at every level has got a great chance to have a very decent NHL career

Well done, ...

Help us Obi Wan Petruzzelli ..

Dubas' works fast

Well, he kinda had to here. Lol.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Dennis Hildeby is like NOOO I WAS ON FLIGHT TO TORONTO

Good on him. He earned it and looked good

Can Hildeby be recalled?

Well deserved. Would have been more better under different circumstances, but still nice.
