Gotta See It: Sparks gets teary after making Leafs history

Garret Sparks got the shutout in his NHL debut, becoming the first Maple leaf in history to do that. Watch him after the game getting misty in front of the ACC faithful.

So pumped for this guy and I'm not even a maple leafs fan

[adrianandreacavan]

This is why I love hockey so much. I'm so impressed with the comments especially the other club supporters. Hockey Love!!!

Congratulations Garret Welcome to the Maple Leafs!

I cry every time he makes a save.







I don’t cry often.

Stars fan here. Still pretty upset over the two losses to the Laffs. But I really hope this kid ends up being a legend. Probably the best night of his life. Let's just hope he can stand up to tougher opponents. He's going to have high expectations now. Very cool.

Also, Bernier was also tearing up at this same moment... In the shower... With his clothes on... In the fetal position.

Don't worry, Garret, the Leafs fan base will find some way to shit on you eventually. Happens to everyone in that shit market.

PLEASE let Sparks be the Leafs future star goalie. We haven't had a consistently good goalie since Belfour. :((

[CaseyGallagherV]

You did good kid. Congratulations on your accomplishment!

[BobTheBob]

Little did he know the fans would soon want to trade him for a 98th round pick.

[goleafs]

Thumbs up to the reporter also who let him skate off knowing he was emotional instead of keep asking him questions.

I'm a Preds fan but man what a feat congrats man. I hope many more games come your way.

[msanna]

I may be a habs fan but congrats to that guy. I'm really happy for him.

[MrDodger]

The problem now is Leafs fans will expect him to come in and be the next great NHL goalie. He's not that good. He might be a legit NHL backup, but he's not going to steal the show. Great first game, hopefully fans don't expect too much from him now

[DismayTravis]

Good for you bud hope the leafs have a gem in this kid

[aussiekid]

Passion like this has left the Maple Leafs organisation

[liamgenosko]

I teared up as well, in a world where most athletes don't care about their team. It's wonderful to see this

[howzerqwerty]

Sens fan here. It's funny to watch the leafs fall on there face every year. But all the respect to this kid. Hoping this is just the start to a long career in the show.

[youllburn]

As much as I "hate" the Leafs you gotta LOVE this! Great moment! :)

[Ethan-ulkd]

That's good for him and i'm an oilers fan love to see him get emotional

[brettfavreify]

Suck it up kid. This is your career high point with the Leafs.
