Starter James Reimer has had a pretty great start to the season until he went down with an injury. Yesterday, the Leafs called up Garret Sparks to back-up Jonathan Bernier. Bernier started last night's game against the Washington Capitals. He had a pretty awful game, which led people to tweet things like this:
File this under JUST SAYIN'... Garret Sparks has a 1.90 GAA and a .938 SV% in 11 AHL games this season.

Garret Sparks will make his first NHL start tomorrow. Told after practice by Mike Babcock.
