So Garrett Sparks is 33% of the way to catching Bernier for shut outs for the Leafs in 0.82% of the games played

To be honest, though, I think Bernier could have had a decent shot at an SO against these guys.  Nonetheless, full marks to Sparks.

reporterchris: Garret Sparks is the first #leafs goalie ever to post a shutout in his NHL debut, per @SNstats.

Shutout for Fish Bulb!

What's with the Simpson's reference? How'd he get that nickname?

His last name is Sparks. He's Mr Spark(le)s!
 
Haha I was being a bit facetious in fairness, but considering Sparks is the first leafs goalie to get a debut shutout EVER. That's incredible considering the history of the franchise and the goalies who have come before. (No matter who the opposition)

He's only the 26th goalie in NHL history to post a shutout in their first NHL appearance. It's not exactly a common feat.
 
His parents really had a sparkle in their eye tonite.

... also, congratulations Bernier on becoming no.3 on the goalie depth chart.
 
Pfft.  Crying.  Lou doesn't allow emotion on his hockey teams.  Expect Sparks to be demoted later tonight.
 
Sparks was one of my favourites in junior, so really happy for him! I definitely shed a tear or two at the end, watching him humbled by the historic accomplishment. What a special night!
