Damn, 3-3 now. Amerks to the PP.

Not sure what the deal is with FloHockey, but the score read 3-3 a few minutes ago and now it’s back to 3-2. Perhaps they disallowed the goal? Tough keeping track of both games.

Bridgeport scores the game winner with 36 seconds to go in the 3rd to win it 5-4. I totally jinxed Leinonen after the first period with the Amerks leading 3-0.

I've seen enough of Leinonen. This is not a good goalie. Certainly not a goalie ready for the AHL. He was abysmal tonight and single handedly cost the Amerks 2 points. Ratzlaff needs to come up. He's a big body with seemingly no actual goaltending skills. He reminds me of a less talented UPL.

I thought he looked good in his game against Cleveland, but I have to agree with your overall assessment.

What? No, it can't be! 

I still hope to be wrong about him.

Leinonen was decent in Hartford last week. But tonight was abysmal.  But you’re right, I don’t think he’s ready for the AHL yet.  
 

And yet he’s still better than Georgiev.

A 21 year old goalie who has played 6 games in North America. Perhaps it’s a bit too early for that write off?
