Cal Petersen placed on waivers.

Pretty sure he was busted for general misogyny and sexual harrassment claims, not sure if his "cases" have settled. Still your guy?

Lmao, the world we live in.

Yikes! Did not know that and obviously would not have suggested him had I known (I was pretty much kidding anyway). I just was recalling how he helped turned Hrudey's career around. But, that was 30 years ago.

Whew! Fair enough, 93. The time's up/me too list was long and as you mentioned, he was a celebrity(in huge air quotes bolded) thirty years ago, the oversight is noted. We're good.

Back to Cal, pretty sure in my one of probably many off-season rants about defense that I defended Cal. Noting the covid protocol/taxi squad implementation made our team (read: DEFENSE) look better -which was kindest thing i can type- than it was in actuality; with the closing statement being: ask Calvin Petersen.

I didn't know that, but I just knew he was a creep. He looks like a creep. Or a televangelist. But I repeat myself. Waiting for bodies to be found in Joel Osteen's back yard. He's just got that Patrick Bateman energy.

Ooo. If you use your mind's eye to see the gif of Patrick Bateman in headphones, then image a Joel sermon playing ((((the horror, the horror))))). *Shivers*

Not quite. Buzzfeed News has been saying that stuff for years, that is when they aren't peddling garbage like the "Steele dossier." He's had some serious illnesses and still does his life-coaching and motivational speaking as far as I know. I never liked the guy and his stupid infomercials but he has donated heaps of money to help feed the poor both here and in 3rd world nations, and does fundraisers to fight against child trafficking.

Hopefully Cal is finding his confidence down there. So far, so good. Two games played on consecutive nights, 2 Ws, 54 saves on 57 shots - .947 SV%.

Must be the water in Ontario… Byfield had a hat trick last night!

Honest question, what good does "finding confidence" do down in Ontario if he has been struggling big time in the Chel?

The options are continue sucking at the NHL level or go down, face live shooters and remember what it feels like to not suck. There's literally no harm in trying option B when option A isn't working. That's not to say he'll ever find his game at the NHL level again but what has he or the team got to lose at this point?

The problem is not that he hasn't been stopping quality NHL shots; the problem is that he hasn't been stopping peewee-level shots. He needs to get to a point where he's stopping some kind of shots confidently and work his way back up. Particularly since he's primarily a technique and positioning goalie, he needs to get those back to where he feels confident in them. If he feels comfortable in his positioning and technique, the saves will take care of themselves. Getting shelled in the NHL every night was definitely not going to get him comfortable again.

Speaking of Ontario, is Turcotte injured again, for ****s sake?!
