not really weak excuse

competing goaltenders NEVER work

alternating starts, though? that's what should have been done. it's what should be done when you have a goaltending challenge. every. single. fucking. time. any coach that doesn't do this is an inept idiot.

the only thing reimer got good at over the course of the year was warming the bench.

see the oilers? they're doing it right.

Yes and they did alternate starts until Bernier proved he was the better goaltender. So what's the point you're trying to make right now?

Bernier solidified himself as the starter, last I checked the starter usually does get the majority of the starts.

 

[DopeyFish]

Sorry just seeing somebody reference the Oilers as a team to learn from was funny.

i only said it because i still had CBC on and they mentioned they were having scrivens and fasth alternate their starts lol

they never did alternating starts. they did "whoever has the hot hand".

 

[Red_Man]

I didn't even realize we're playing the Bruins again Monday night*, and while they're on their winning streak. What did I do to deserve such good fortune?

Edit: Monday, my days are messed up.

Game time, go Caps!

Bernier also had a longer leash than Reimer did. When Reimer fucked up, Bernier was in for 4-5 games, when Bernier fucked up, he would get at most...a day off? It wasn't until Carlyle just made Bernier start pretty much all of the games that Reimer plummeted playing wise. When he rotated them both in October-November and early December, they were legitimately the best duo in the NHL.

For sure, and I do think Bernier is the better goalie moving forward.

But it's been ridiculous how Reimer has been hung out to dry lately as the reason for the Leafs recent woes, when the team has been shockingly bad in several areas since the start of the year.

Even tonight, Reimer's 'bad' goals came on an pathetic giveaway/defensive play by Kessel, a breakaway, a redirection by Gleason, and an unlucky PP goal.

Exactly.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Can't wait to sign Reimer in the offseason.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Can't wait to sign Reimer in the offseason.

Many Leaf fans won't tell you so, but he's a lot better than he's been since he started declining. But I don't think he's going to want to compete with Varlamov when he just got done competing with Bernier lol

 

[Acid08]

Can't wait to sign Reimer in the offseason.

At least you guys can score enough to cover up the goals he gives up.

Also go Sharks! Get dis 4 point division lead.

 

[ShaneB]

Woooooo

 

[Coldnoodle]

OWN GOAL

 

[Acid08]

Christ what a fucking stupid goal

Of course we will!! Dat trade value.

 

[ActStriker]

Charaaaaaaa

 

[ShaneB]

Fuck! Stupid way to end the period.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Mike Green is a dumb hockey player.

 

[Acid08]

FUCK YEAH FORMER CAPTAIN. Another 30 goal season.

Green with dat giveaway.

 

[zedge]

Goals..goals everywhere!!

 

[yodathesoda]

This is fantastic.

Eat shit oilers!

 

[zedge]

This is fantastic.

Eat shit oilers!

Not even a whole season into rebuild and we are the better team already. Lol oilers..

 

[yodathesoda]

To be fair their first overall picks are only about a combined -465 on the season.

Another one!

What a sick ass goal.

 

[ActStriker]

Iginlaaaaaaaaaa

 

[TheFatOne]

Bruins are just amazing right now.

 

[lamaroo]

Looks like it's up to Montreal to end the streak.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

3 days off a bitter 2-0 shut out better light a fire for crying out loud. We've looked like last year's team for 2 weeks now.

 

[ActStriker]

12 in a row!!!!

 

[kingslunk]

Thank you Boston for keeping the stars playoff hopes alive

 

[Freyjadour]

No reason to worry about the President's Trophy honestly. It's Boston's to lose.

 

[Acid08]

This PP is like a long wet fart

 

[Coldnoodle]

Scrivens mask looks so tiny.

 

[Vman]

Jarome is so good. does the little things right. I wish he was on the Wild or never play us again.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Them feels.

I have them.

Seriously fuck Reimer. He has been a capital D-saster.

Throwing you a solid for giving us Eriksson

Seriously fuck Reimer. He has been a capital D-saster.

But he was great in giving up three goals in ten minutes last year

LOL all you want but both of them were consistently in the top 10 in SA%

Resurrecting an old 'shop:

SAVE ME, BURKIE.

 

[Simon Belmont]

The one thing you can't say about James Reimer is that he was never given a chance. There aren't too many people in the world that get the sort of shot he did, considering where he was drafted and the circumstances that lead to him getting his opportunity. The guy got three years to kick the can at being a starter and just couldn't get the job done.

 

[lamaroo]

He's just happy to be there.

That was awesome. Really like Stajan.

Hallsy calling out the coach on the bench...not sure what to think of that. Kudos to Perron for trying to put it to an end.

AWE SHIT

HERE WE GO

Edit: nvm, Hall got Eakins suit wet :lol

 

[zedge]

:lol Hall getting the coach wet.. Much frustration.
