    It will redirect itself into or away from the net depending on who the league wants to win, and whether Vegas wants the over or under.

    So according to Jeff Marek, this isn't the first time an emergency goalie won. In 1957, Jacques Plante suffered an asthma attack when on the road - in Toronto. Len Broderick, the Leafs' house goalie, was pushed into action, as teams only traveled with one goalie. Montreal spotted him a 4-goal lead and ended up winning 6-2. http://ourhistory.canadiens.com/article/My-Game-Len-Broderick

    Let's be fair, we're actually talking about losing Provorov, Niskanen, and Hagg - Ceci may log minutes, but he's not good by any standard. The difference for the Flyers is that they have guys who can fill in and play passably in the absence of some of those guys in Friedman and Ghost, depth that Toronto lacks.

    And the team's (at the time) leading goal scorer is out for the season (and possibly forever) with cancer.

    I thought of Rux when I heard the Trochek move.

    He said advice from Carolina's Erik Haula helped him. "He said to me, 'Just have fun. We don't care if you let 10 goals in,' " Ayres said. "That settled me right down, and it was great." https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/hurricanes/2020/02/22/david-ayres-emergency-goalie-enters-hurricanes-maple-leafs-game/4846751002/

    It was the 40th anniversary yesterday. Perfect time for "Miracle II"

    Yeah, I don't know if Columbus can recover. They're not playing poorly, they're just running out of talent. As much as I hate to admit it, looks like Torts is doing a good job with what he has to work with out there. But don't look now, the Rags are only 4 points back of a spot.

    He got the win because the game-winning goal was scored while he was the goalie of record. It's the only reason he allowed those first two shots to go in. If Carolina won 6-1 or 6-2, Mrazek would have gotten the W.

    I have to admit, despite them being a division opponent, the "Bunch of Jerks" seems quite likable. That said, Pesce is now out indefinitely, so between that and the goalie thing, they may fall out of the playoff picture if they can't plug those holes.

    After last night, Carolina. They reportedly already called Chicago about Lehner.

    It's especially great because Carolina is scrabbling for a playoff spot, so they really needed this win. That win officially pushed them back up into the 2nd wildcard. So it's not like they could have lost and said, "It's ok, we have a 2-3 game lead on being out of the playoffs." EDIT: Also, appears that he is the oldest player ever to get his first win in the league. Which makes sense, but still cool.

    Toronto Marlies zamboni driver comes in for Carolina after both Reimer and Mrazek leave the game. Carolina is up 3-1 when Mrazek is run over by Clifford causing him to exit the game, and score on the ensuing PP to go 4-1. Ayres gives up goals on his first two, then stops the few more shots Carolina allows to get through to him for a 6-3 win in Toronto. What a bizarre game with a great story.

    Or, if he misses, or his foot skips up, that's a lot of blood and not much chance for Cernak.

    Kicks Cernak blade-first in the chest. I left out zero because he was just suspended a few weeks ago, so I can't see any way he gets off without anything.

    Which is why the fact that it was in the back this time is so perplexing.
