wish I had thought to pick him up in fantasy, wings fan commish beat me to it
If we make the playoffs he needs to bring it .
You might want to watch the clip of the goal. He sits in front of the net and turns to the left and turns to right and one of the Dmen gets a stick on him for 2 seconds. There’s no battle there.
I think we know why he’s a third string goalie at this point in his career. There are times he looks so solid in there and other times he looks lost and has trouble finding the puck. I think a lot of pucks just hit him and pretty soon his SV% will be back to where it’s been the past few years.
That’s it.I didn't see the show, but I'm assuming it's this fella, who in his article says,
"• Toronto's most recent effort, a regulation time loss in Edmonton, could be described as the best version of their group. They competed extremely hard as a team, but ultimately ran out of gas and broke down at the most important time of the game – protecting a lead in the third period on the road against a top flight opponent.
• Sacrificing further draft capital, or prospects, from an already thin pool feels like a reach at this stage. This is a good team, not a great team.
I recommend standing pat with what they have and regrouping in the off-season, when bigger choices need to be made on free agents, major contract extensions and the makeup of the whole group. The organization doesn’t have the draft capital, or prospect depth, to spend on acquisitions at this trade deadline. It feels like they have more than one hole to plug and not enough putty to stop the leaks. They can use their pending UFAs as “own rentals” to accomplish the goal of being a playoff team and seeing where it takes them."

On Thursday morning the Toronto Maple Leafs sit in a wild card spot in the East and haven't won in four games. Are they contenders? Should they be deadline buyers? Jason Bukala looks at the team and shares his recommendations.www.sportsnet.ca
Benoit’s been a unexpected bonus this season, too bad he’s probably pricing himself out of a job with the Leafs going forward……..
There have been times when they’re getting hemmed in their zone and Bertuzzi looks so gassed he can hardly move and he just stands around watching the puck. Even though Calgary thought the puck was a hand grenade last night they were able to control long stretches of O zone time.
Like Dubas once said, they give guys an opportunity so they can move on to bigger and better things.
I think the Leafs fit right in with the six or seven teams fighting for the two Eastern Conference wild card spots moreso than with the division leaders.I didn't see the show, but I'm assuming it's this fella, who in his article says,

They could trade prospects for proven players with term or they know they can sign, other than that they should stay away.
The next one will be brutal. They were 2-16 in their last 18 visits in Vancouver.
