Napping, like the old man he is. No, it's just he didn't play on Saturday, and he didn't practice yesterday. Quinn says yesterday was a "maintenance day" for ED-DIE. Telqvist is grabbing that number one crown as we speak.
There are 36 days left in the season, and the leafs play 19 games in those 36 days, including four back-to-back games.
khavanov's got a "suspected" shoulder injury. Brendan bell to be called up again, most likely.
Right winger ben Ondrus is looking great out there.

Rest? The man has played all of 9 games since the end of January (compared to 10 in January)...he got two weeks off during the Olympics..how much rest does his old bones need? Look, just cause they couldn't trade him is no reason to send him to a corner...poor Eddie, first the fans want him traded, now he is in the timeout corner...The man can't win.

And that would be why.

Pun aside...I don't think its all an Eddie is aging thing...here is are some quotes from Eddie back in August of 2005...before the season got away from him.

Ed Belfour isn't exactly happy with some of the new NHL rules for goaltenders.
The Toronto Maple Leaf goalie told The Toronto Sun that the new rules, specifically one that limits the area in which goalies will be allowed to handle the puck, were "a joke."
"I think at this level (the rule) is a bit of a joke," Belfour told the newspaper Tuesday. "Maybe some forwards should play with their opposite hand. Or, better yet, play with their sticks upside down. That's what I equate it to."
Belfour is known for being the type of goaltender to move out of the crease and play the puck.
"I'm sure the general managers who don't have a puck-handling goaltender were the ones who voted for this rule.
"We have the world's fastest game, one of skill, and, like Marty (Devils goaltender martin Brodeur) has said, they are taking one of our skills away. ... I will find a way around it, though."

I guess he hasn't found a way through it

Eddie gives me heart palpitations every time he leaves the crease. he always gets caught up, distracted, whatever and getting back is like, GOGOGOGO!!!!
I do see how the goalies were expected to come in and adapt fast. Seems brodeur is figuring it out okay. Not his best year, but he's not losing his #1 spot.
Combination age and new rules, maybe? Old dog and all that.

Now you are onto something...perhaps you just can't teach and old goalie a new trick...I will buy that theory. ...and "heart palpitations" huh?...maybe you just have a thing for goalies who wander out of the crease...just kidding...

I do appreciate a man who takes chances and can comfortably execute the splits, I suppose.
