Michael Leighton Comes Full Circle: Ex-Cane to Start Winter Classic
by Bob Harwood Waeghe on Jan 1, 2010 12:40 PM EST
330 comments
Michael Leighton has seen a bit of everything this past year. The ex-Carolina Hurricanes goalie started out this season the exact same way he ended up last season, sitting on the Canes' bench.
Cam Ward played the front end of back-to-backs. He also played the back end of them. He played so many games in a row that Leighton probably forgot what it was like to get on the ice during a game. At one point, the backup had only started two games during a 65 game stretch, (including the playoffs), when the team decided to give him a start against Minnesota on November 15.
When Ward fell to injury later in November, the Hurricanes by-passed the goalie once again and signed Manny Legace, who was playing in the AHL at the time. Legace started the very next game, as the Canes coaching staff pretty much proved beyond any doubt that they had zero confidence in their original backup.
Leighton finally did get a chance when Legace struggled and started a game against the Habs in Montreal. But as luck would have it, he suffered a groin injury during the game and had to be replaced.
Most agreed that Legace had out-played Leighton as both battled to remain in Carolina and Leighton was eventually placed on waivers in mid-December. The Flyers picked him up on re-entry, at half the cost of his $600,000 annual salary.
Since then, things have gone pretty well for the goalie who once set a record with 90 plus saves in a single AHL playoff game. Leighton is 4-0 while with the Flyers and has a save percentage of .951 along with a GAA of 1.50.
Leighton attributes some of his success to Flyers goalie coach, Jeff Reese.
"Jeff Reese and I have been working on some things that he wanted to tweak in my game and so far, things have been going well," Leighton said. "He just tried to simplify my game a little bit and use shorter movements. He kind of slowed things down and I don't have to work so hard. I've been working on it in practice and so far in games it's been working well.
"Reese went over some video from games that I played in Carolina and picked out a few things," Leighton said. "My first day here, we spent about a half hour watching video. He showed me how he wants me to play and how I had been playing. It didn't change my game too much but he tweaked a few things and it's been
going well."
Did the Philadelphia goalie coach see something in Leighton's game that Tom Barrasso did not see?
The backup goalie will not be sitting the bench while on hockey's biggest stage today. Leighton will start the Winter Classic for the Flyers and will be facing Boston goalie Tim Thomas. All across North America, people will be asking, "Who in the world is Michael Leighton?".
Will he get his name etched in the record books as the winning goalie for the Flyers in one of the most watched games in history? He joins another ex-Cane, coach Peter Laviolette in his quest for victory.

Excellent and timely (as usual), Hollywood. Leight’s story makes me that much more interested in the game in Fenway.

Why did the coaching staff have a "lack" of
a hard-on for Leighton?
Was that a Mo decision or was that from the goalie coach, what’s his name?

What I’m wondering is — was it a problem with coaching/chemistry with Leighton when he was with the ’Canes, or has he just finally found his internal motivation? Either way, I think it would be a mistake for the ’Canes not to look at his success and try to reflect on why he could not find that success in Carolina.

I think it was a combination of both. Philly has a strong defense in front of their goalie which is something Leights never really had. Leights now has a fresh start and a chance.

I’d like to think he did. You can’t ignore the fact that he needs a job next season and certainly wasn’t going to earn one by opening and closing the door.

Well, Leight's wasn't going anywhere here.....
Legace is the type of backup you need, been there done that and is looking to stay in the NHL.
Leighton is, IMHNHO, is good enough to start with teams. His bailing the Canes out last year vs San Jose when the Canes looked like they were going nowhere last season showed that.

Thing is, if Leighton goes on to do really well, it’ll sting that we gave up someone really good. On the other hand, it would also show that there is something fundamentally wrong with the ’Canes besides the talent (forward talent anyway), and maybe we could learn something from that.

That is the problem I see with Leighton. He can be absolutely brilliant; but in the end, if the pressure gets on, he will struggle. I think he is fortunate to be in Philadelphia and their excellent defense. His battle is much more mental than physical, I think. He’s just a player who finds a way to lose. Great guy with tons of talent. Just lacks the inner confidence to finish the deal.

Sounds like an effort by Burke to ultimately sign Johnson some time down the road. Not a hockey decision to take him.

Komisarek and Kessel? I think that was a given.

I questioned Burke’s decision making skills before. But now it’s clear he doesn’t have any.

Btw, hasn’t Paul Martin been injured most of the season, or am I thinking of another Devil?
by Nik11 on Jan 1, 2010 4:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
No I think you’re right. Komisarek was hurt for a while too IIRC.

Exactly – he’s going to be out 3 more weeks at least. Can’t believe he’ll be ready…???

Burke is picking players he wants to sign
Burke is picking players he wants to sign. What better way to gain good will than to select a marginal player to the Olympics.
