Talk about some overreaction in here.

You know your team is in good shape when all the trolls have to hold on to is the Leafs lost two backup goalies

the panic from some of our fans is beyond sad though.

maybe they should check out what other contenders like tampa and winnipeg have as back ups.

I'm not surprised both goaltender got interest.

I dare think that Sparks might have been picked off as well.

Dubas went with the young guy, who helped him succeed in the AHL.

Nothing wrong with that.

Still kinda funny from my perspective but oh well.

I still remember when Tokarski and / or Fucale were going to take the starting job from Price(Habs fans thought). I still find that funny too. Haha

Seriously though, this doesn't matter at all

The positive that comes out of this news is that we'll NEVER here about McBackup from the UGTARD again... Am I right?

I have never heard or seen anyone claim such nonsense.

Then again, I don't spend much time reading the TSN fanboards so that might be it.

Carolina won't carry 3 goalies when Mrazek/Darling are both healthy.

Philly won't carry 3 goalies when Neuvirth/Elliot are both healthy.

Assuming Andersen/Sparks are both healthy for a few months. We could see one or both guys back before it's ever an issue.

Rookie GM mistake, forgetting you can make trades.

The NHL gives every team a binder: Things You Can Do As GM

It covers everything from getting a 35% discount at the NY NHL store to trades to waivers to LTIR.

The last thing Lou did before leaving his MLSEL office was rip the page about trades out of the binder.

Lou is a sneaky, crusty old bastard.

I wish I was an Islanders fan.

They've just cleared 3 mil cap space in the last 2 days.

Should be a fun deadline.

- walshyleafsfan

Not really.

All three would have been buried in the AHL - with the first approx $1 milly of each salary not counting against cap.

So we probably saved around $600,000 (I haven’t bothered to actually look at the salaries).

Opening night, Leafs against Price. Habs with zero to lose this year. This has a Leafs loss written all over it.

Price with 48 saves, Habs win 3-1, empty netter.

Glak and AussiePenguin verbally felate each other for the next 4 days.

Who the frank watches hockey?

I wake up the next morning in my rental home and look at complex graphs posted by others on the internet, and then I post douchy opinions not grounded in actual hockey knowledge, backed by links to music videos - in a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that my writing is weak.

You can have Neuvirth in a couple months.
