He is not a capable goalie in the NHL because he hasn't proven that yet. He's a proven AHL goalie but he's not proven (frank) all as an NHL goalie. In the one game he played, he let in 6 goals and half of them were his fault. That's not the mark of a goalie who is even remotely ready.

The problem with the "5 or 10 starts" mentality is that it could take the Leafs 50 games before he's played that many games and by then it could be too late. It could be too late because Andersen is getting over worked or because he sustained an injury or whatever. Sparks would not be playing tonight if not for Andersen's injury for example.

If he poops the bed, he can be waived and nobody will claim him. He can be the Marlies starter again and the Leafs can sign a veteran, proven, UFA to be the back-up so Andersen can be rested more often.

Matthews knows he needs a hattrick to win tonight, so ill take the over on Leafs scoring 5 goals tonight

I’m calling a leafs win and sparks plays great.

We’re facked. Great.

And Kask also down too. Lovely.

This was what I was worried about. Sparks better show the fack up and figure out how to cover up his damn five hole.

Who was that 4th string backup last year that got called into the game in the 3rd. He was like a fan and had a pretty good 3rd period.
