I hope babs can light more of a fire under the leafs when the regular season starts! a lot of floaters lastnight condon for the habs looked good he had a great year in the Ahl last year could be back up to price this year
….so you think they throw Tokarski on waivers?
…did you ever think about trades?? bergevin is a solid gm!
He has faced 30 some shots in the preseason…not sure why you would trade an experienced backup who is relatively cheap and has decent numbers (Tokarski) to keep a guy who has has all of zero NHL experience….what happens if Price gets hurt?
coming from a guy who thinks reimer is a good backup……. I leave it at that wait throw some stats out there to tell me otherwise
If you don’t go by stats what are you basing your opinion of Condon in the AHL on?
Watching him?? Duh
lol…sure ya did.
lol shticky just because you have no eye at all for a good hockey player doesn’t mean no one else does keep reading your pieces of paper and telling everyone how much you know! lmao typical leaf with no hockey knowledge
