The Toronto Maple Leafs' goaltending still isn't defined quite yet. Well, the most important position is - Frederik Andersen is set to be the starter, for the next several years in all likelihood - but after that, it's a bit of a mystery.
Two hopefuls to move up the ranks are Garret Sparks and Kasimir Kaskisuo. Sparks is a bit closer - he already has NHL experience, while Kaskisuo is fresh out of just two years in the NCAA - but that hasn't stopped the playful chirps over Twitter.
It all kicked off when a young fan of Kaskisuo's was upset he left the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs - though he did make an effort to make it better!

@ajsirjord Hope he feels better now!

But Sparks couldn't resist joining in:
He's taller than your stick @Kaskisuo #BabyStick https://t.co/OWzXx0qHDw

Now that he mentions it, that stick is VERY small indeed. Kaskisuo knows just how to deal with the chirps, though.
@GSparks40 @ajsirjord One size fits all

Indeed. And now there's a kid much happier than he was before - so it all works out in the end! Even with very little sticks.
