I suppose that would depend on your definition of patience.  I speculate that he's got another 2 or 3 starts...if he stinks it up, he's waived.

Just so I have you right you're suggesting the back up goalie's worth should be determined at the 10-12 game mark? Maybe I'm not really asking for much more, maybe he stinks it up and Wilson pulls a trigger, however, that bullet can't go back and Burke will have to come up with something to diminish/assuage perspective on a player he travelled to Sweden for on July !st?

That's why I said 'devil'.  And I suppose that would depend on what was available to the Leafs in terms of cheapish backup goaltending.

But that was my point. A relatively competent, fairly reliable back-up goalie is the lamest concept of a devil since people thought it was hidden in Eagles lyrics.
 
Sorry I'm late! Was in the shower:

Ok, I'll buy that from the Leafs perspective if Goose doesn't hold his own by the 20-ish-y game mark, fair?

I suppose, though, I think how he fares for the rest of the time that Reimer is out will be telling enough for me.

Wait though, we're giving Scrivens Sunday so Goose has... one more game?!?

I broke the dam!!!!

Like I said, I'm speculating here, but I don't think this team has much time to be patient with a backup goalie...whether it be warranted or not.

Well, yeah, but, that's also 3 consecutive starts and 5 straight games. Enough to make a pretty fair assessment.
 
I feel like this has happened before, with Lundqvist having Kessel's number.

Also, I heard Phaneuf yell "Monster!" for Gus to pass it back to him.  I didn't realize they actually called him that on the ice, too.
 
Well, it would appear that either Phil Kessel is no Jaromir Jagr or Henrik Lundqvist is no Jonas Gustavsson . . . or both. Probably both.
