Great story. Having to put a non professional goalie in a professional game is not ideal but sure beats the alternatives of playing with 6 skaters, putting the pads on one of your defencemen, making teams carry a 3rd goalie, or postponing the game.
Carolina shutting down the Leafs with Ayers in net does add to the argument that GAA and SV% are meaningless goalie stats that are more dependant on team defence than goalie ability.
