He's consistently great, he rarely lets in bad goals and he keeps us in every single game he plays in. I don't get it. I don't get it either, he's played well for every team he's ended up on. Just wrong place wrong time. Cap issues and/or weird management decisions have led to him jumping around. Quick was the man in LA, which made him expendable. Traded to TOR, where he did hold the starting job for 2-3 years, but they somehow weren't happy when he slipped a bit, so they traded him to ANA (for futures!) to play out the last season of his deal. Toronto has to be one of the toughest teams to play for as a goalie (any position actually) with they're stupid fans. 1 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's consistently great, he rarely lets in bad goals and he keeps us in every single game he plays in. I don't get it. He has been a bright spot for us thats for sure. I think he's just been unlucky so far...With the Kings he was stuck behind Quick for 5 years, then in Toronto spent time battling with Sparks and Reimer for 2 years then in 2016 they brought in Andersen. The next 2 years he was behind Gibson in Anaheim and Varlamov in Colorado (Calvin Pickard was also on this squad). He definitely IMO should have beat out Sparks and Reimer but this was also when Toronto were the goalie killers. Job seems to be his to lose now though, he gives them that confidence that Ozzy gave our guys years ago. ALSO it was amazing to see Brome finally pot one tonight too Edited February 21, 2021 by 13dangledangle *spelling 2 chaps80 and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
