Can Ho Sang be given a contract a brought up?  Amazing goal and set up for Robertson.

Yes, but he wouldn't be eligible to play in the playoffs.

He also wouldn't be eligible for the rest of the regular season, so there is no point.

Yeah. I guess he'd have to clear waivers, which means he's not eligible at all.

Sorry I should correct myself: No waivers, since he didn't play games for an overseas league. But he would be eligible for regular season games, just not playoffs.

If Dubas really wanted Ho-Sang on the Leafs for the playoffs, he could have signed him as a UFA to an NHL SPC before the deadline so he'd be on our reserve list to qualify for the playoff roster. He would be waiver eligible and need to clear in order to be papered down for the AHL playoffs, at which point he could have been poached (or after Muzzin comes off LTIR). So... not really worth it given the team's state.

Marlies are running two EBUGs tonight btw
 
Marlies started an new goalie, a guy who I have never heard of.  Taylor Joseph, he stopped 34 of 37 shots earning his first pro victory.  Why did he fly under the radar so long?

Taylor Joseph and Tavin Grant were signed to ATOs prior to the game after Hutchinson (no info) and Petruzzelli (illness) were held out of the game. They're both EBUGs essentially.

Because he's a random 27-year old college goalie who has never played professional hockey before and the only reason the Marlies signed him was because they were in Abbotsford and desperately needed a fill-in goalie at the very last minute.
 
I was at the game tonight and Marlies put another guy in net after the first period. Billy someone with a lot of letters?where did HE come from?? Had mismatched gear

Billy Christopoulos. Just another random emergency goalie that they had to sign, this time at least with ECHL experience so he can probably carry things a little more than the other two guys they had to quickly sign who were basically just the two closest goalies they could find out West at the last minute.

Campbell and Mrazek out at the NHL level meant Hutchinson had to join Kallgren with the Leafs. Joseph Woll was injured again a couple weeks ago. Ian Scott is basically perma-injured. Keith Petruzzelli, a young Marlies signing who's been very good at the ECHL level, was called up but pretty much immediately got sick which is very unfortunate timing for him (hasn't been said if it's covid or not). 
 
Christopoulos was trapped in immigration and couldn't get to the game until the second period. Talor Joseph, hero of the previous game, had to start back to back for at least the first period. Marlies gutted out an OT win (Ho-Sang, baby) in spite of all that (losing Joey Anderson early in the game to a big open-ice hit too).

How embarrassing is it to lose to two EBUGs back to back?

Dmitri Ovchinnikov scored his first North American pro goal with some greasy opportunism
