FYI, Kadri went 20 games without a goal last year, yet still managed 33 goals. Just thought I'd remind people who are freaking out that he hasn't scored so far, 3 games in.

I swear I'm not freaking out. I said I wasn't worried about Kadri, I'm worried about finding someone to play with him. I also said give him time with his new linemates. I think we're both on the same side with this one.

Off the top of my head I can't think of one team whos backup Goalie led them to the cup. If your starter gets knocked out, you're toast end of story. Once the playoffs start, Sparks is as close to irrelevant as it gets.

I didn't even think he was that bad tonight. That puts me in the solid minority I guess but that's fine.

who is pittsburgh for 100, alex.

Third line is a tire fire. Babcock needs to fix this before Dallas.

No goals and a collective -14

You’re kidding me right? What superhuman goalie would have put up respectable numbers in the season when P.A. Parenteau was our leading scorer??

Nope I'm not kidding.

no idea what the hell you're talking about with Parenteau though.

Which of these goals against was Sparks at fault for? I could maybe blame him for the third and 6th goal. Don't think he had much of a chance on the others.

Yea, those two were softies which cant go in at this level though.

Actually, I'm still all for giving him a chance but he's only got like an Enroth 5 game window to impress before he gets Enrothed outta here. Dubas took a gamble on him and he better perform.

Goaltending is going to be a big issue this season for the Leafs. Dubas waved the wrong goalie!

just remember this is the same lot that were clamoring to trade/waive Freddie after his poor start last year. its what happens when the bandwagon gets full. The fickle fans come out in force and want every game won 5-0 or 3-1 otherwise its this team sucks the goalie sucks our defense sucks. what you got tonight is 2 teams that just opened up a season and had a quick back to back on Canadian thanksgiving weekend. we have seen it before and we will see it again

Sparks needs to be better and after watching him with the organization over the years he can be, its no different then when mac got lit up by the jackets last year and everyone was saying the same thing. or it might have been 2 years ago. point being its not what he did this game its the next game and so on.

What you got tonight was one hell of a entertaining game which you wont see replicated all year. but lets bitch and moan instead of enjoying a good old throwback game. it was sloppy the ice was shitty at times but the skill and back and fourth action made it extremely fun and entertaining to watch.

Do we need to improve , of course
do we need to correct mistakes , Yes
can we have one gdt/pgt with out the sky falling. not a f***en chance

Are you his ex girlfriend. Just curious

I'm just a guy who lives on planet earth where Sparks had a bad preseason and a bad night tonight and has never been good in the NHL and is already 25. Those are the facts, feel like the people blindly arguing against them are probably the ones with the agendas.

Again, I really don't care, I don't think Sparks will sink this team, I'm not at Dubas' throat about letting our ancient journeyman backup go, I just don't think the pro-Sparks camp has ever made a good argument.
