The irony about Heally's 4:00 whine is that it was arguably a huge benefit for the Leafs.
One of the challenges on a road trip - and what Heally was attempting to refer to - is that games are at different times than normal. For instance, west coast football teams typically have a tough time on the east coast because the games are at 10:00AM west coast time - just weird.
However, the Leafs have played every game on this trip at 7 or 8 o'clock eastern. The whole fata-ing league has bent over and re-structured the schedule to accommodate the Leafs. And then Heally whines and tries to make it sound like a bad thing.
Calling him a moron doesn't even begin to cover it.
Seriously. Why can't Cherry say Luongo? I mean still, after all these years, how does he not know?
It's part of his dumb guys are cool schtick. He can say it fine, he is just trying to appeal to blue collar types that think dem brainy guys aren't cool or tough.
I just looked up the Oilers-Wings boxscore to laugh at the +/- of those future superstars and left disappointed when I saw that Schultz isn't playing. Bummer, he would probably be -3 already.
So Dubynuk is now dressed as the backup. How does that work? I assumed the two goalies dressed tonight were the only two they could use? I don't think I've ever seen the 3rd string goalie suit up between periods and sit on the bench. Anyone know the rule for that?
Rule 5.3
Quote:
In regular League and Playoff games, if both listed goalkeepers are incapacitated, that team shall be entitled to dress and play any available goalkeeper who is eligible. This goalkeeper is eligible to sit on the player’s bench, in uniform. In the event that the two regular goalkeepers are injured in quick succession, the third goalkeeper shall be provided with a reasonable amount of time to get dressed, in addition to a two-minute warm-up (except when he enters the game to defend against a penalty shot).
