This makes me feel slightly better about some other missed point opportunities. Just slightly.

More Reimer on Tuesday?

 

[A Star is Burns]

More Reimer on Tuesday?

He should. In spite of the many goals tonight (the one very bad) and some of the freak outs, he's been great recently. And he wins. I know it was a tough game on all of us, but I sometimes wonder if people are blacking out when Reimer's recent stats are shown (not you, just some of the more emotional responses tonight).

Since my dad went to the store and never came back, Mr. Williams can you be my dad? You're the only person I can depend on when times are tough.

Thank you for placing them (Note to self... Get some gloves and a hose)

The other one (a certain star goalie) let in 5 too, and then 2 in the shootout. We had the better goalie tonight, and he gets another W. I hope Rod stays with the hot hand Reimer for now.

On the other hand, he went full Ty Conklin late in the 3rd

Just like I said with Fleury and Eddy earlier in the game, all that matters for Reimer is if his positives and negatives balance out in the end. This game, at least, it did.

smh. you must be a state fan, or at least sound like one.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Think of how frustrated Flyers fans have to be right now. That's keeping me warm tonight.

 

[Wolfpuck]

This dumbass team keeps pulling wins out of thin air lately.

I love this dumbass team!

 

[A Star is Burns]

Just watched highlights. Still don't know exactly how it happened, but I love it.

Hope it happens a lot, in the post season!

gardiner has been an absolute stud since dougie went down. i would have traded him for a bag of hammers at christmas. let the smart people do their jobs.

Patience is, shall we say, a virtue. Our defensive system is one of the most unusual of any current team in the NHL. As proven by Dougie and now Gardiner, it take some time to get defensemen, even guys as offensively talented as them, to play as aggressively on the offensive end without losing their shot suppression skills.

 

[HurricaneFanatic]

I actually think this team can do damage in the playoffs. If they can take out the Caps like they did last year, they can make some noise.

reimer impressed me tonight by staying in the fight. that was a veteran performance. the narrative is totally different if he doesn't stop that buzzer beater prior to the shootout. he's winning me over a little bit to the idea that we might have a legitimate league average starter. it feels like they're trying to maintain the illusion that mrazek hasn't lost the job, but the disparity between the two is starting to become more well defined. it's his job to lose right now.

Gotta run with one goalie eventually heading towards playoffs. Reimer hasn’t even really been given a chance even though he has definitely earned it. I would give him 8 out of next 10 or so and see what he can do.

I think they go with Reimer again on Tuesday to close out the road trip bc he's earned it. I see them going back to Mrazek at home on Friday to see if they can give him a confidence boost against NJ. He plays better at home anyways. However Mrazek plays, Reimer should play against the Oilers after that though.
