Mike Augello: Backup uncertainty causing overwork for Andersen, concerns for Leafs

They still have eight back to backs?

What are the options?

Ramo crapped out, the available guys are too expensive with years left, the current guy has failed, bibeau hasn't been bad but he's a rookie and babs doesn't seem to trust.

18 total for the season, they've had 10 so far.

Andersen is a stallion, ride him into the playoffs.

What are the options?

I say play Bibeau until he faulters. He's had two solid games in his first two games in the NHL. He deserves a chance to play until he's at least played one below average game.

Agreed, but babs doesn't seem to.

This is going to really be a big problem since Bibeau isn't really ready and needs to play games. Sparks isn't the answer. Ramo injured and isn't the answer, and neither is Enroth.

Going to have to be a move made to solidify things and give Andersen some downtime.

Lou has his work cut out for him fixing the backup and the defence still here. Work in progress but lets not kill our starter.

In his last 13 games, Marlies winger Kasperi Kapanen has 16 points (eight goals). Sixth in AHL in goals overall.


Kapanen gettin it done....

Can anyone in here play goalie? I'm sure you can't be worse than Enroth.

Kapanen sucks, zero value

maybe I'm missing the point... but since money and CAP space are not issues, why not simply claim Khudobin(sp?)... he's cheaper than Halak, and younger, so there's the chance he can still mature. I think he had pretty good numbers last year... and it would seem the Enroth and Ramo experiments are done.

am I missing something here?

What ever happened to that first? Which was practically a second, btw.

kinda interesting... if you believe Burns commentary that Kapanen has zero value ( )... the Leafs got Andersen and Rychel for Kessel.

I'd still do that deal.

give Palmateer a go... with new supersized pads.

Too much gets thru my 5 hole, so that's a no for me.

I saw that, Barb.
