Classless Horachek move at Leafs - Preds.

[UsernameWasTaken]

It was stupid, not "classless".

Can't wait to listen to the call in on 1050 tonight. The Leafs are a gift that keeps giving

 

[Stanley Foobrick]

Bernier gets cut and has to leave for repairs, and Reimer goes in, team losing 2-0. They get 3 goals and Reimer made a few huge saves, the momentum shifted.

Bernier comes back on the bench, and Horachek pulls Reimer, and Bernier lets in one the next few shots.

Reimer looked devastated.

This is exactly what they wanted to happen. Leafs management has given up on this season and are simply hoping for the best pick they can get.

Only mistake the new coach has made was accidentally winning one.

Leafs will get a decent pick, Leaf fans will be full of hope for next year, and the cycle will continue.

I dislike the Leafs and could honestly care less about either of their goalies. I think it's a pretty bush move though. Reimer looked good and was clearly playing better than Bernier already had. Just let him ride it out. The team is playing well in front of him since the change and he hasn't had anything to critique. At that point you leave him in.

 

[Super Cake]

The funny thing is that Bernier let in two more goals when he came back.

 

[Semantics]

Horacek is trying to tank, it's been pretty obvious given that he continues to use Clarkson on the PP.

How is this disrespectful?

Bernier was the starting goalie. He thought he was cut so he went to the room for repairs. He came back and was put back in net. If this was Price and Tokarski would it even be a thread? Bernier is our starter.

[Goalie guy]

Reimer needs to demand a trade! The Leafs treat him like crap and he is not a bad goalie at all.

 

[LeafsLegendAkiBerg]

Meh, I don't see the big deal. Bernier hasn't been great lately but none of the goals were his fault (well, aside from the fourth.) This is mostly just the Leafs playing terrible defense. The only reason the Leafs were in this game is because Hutton was shaky.

It's because the Leafs have a goalie controversy.

Just go on the Leafs Facebook page and read the comments. It's pretty amusing.

 

[Rayzorexe]

The fact that Bernier came out the dressing room to discuss going back into the game with Horachek on the bench is what makes this move tasteless. That kind of stuff has to be decided in the dressing room. I don't think Reimer had a clue that he was going to get pulled out when Bernier came back to the bench.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I'm not sure how much rope Horacek is looking to give Bernier, but it's clear he's not helping things.

Reimer's gotta wonder what it takes to get a fair shake in Toronto; after leading the team to their only playoff round in the past decade, it seems he's been kicked to the curb repeatedly.

On the plus side, the Leafs managed to score an ASTOUNDING three goals in tonight's loss, which equals almost one fifth of their total output for January.

Agreed. Bernier is getting shacked pretty badly for the Leafs lossess but in my opinion, the players playing in front of him have been more crap than his play(save for Rielly and Kadri).

He did last year. Leafs couldn't get the value they wanted for him.

Bernier > Riemer.

 

[James Duthie]

Silence you fool, Horachek is the tank commander, let the tank keep on rolling.

 

[DFC]

Jeff O'Neill says all the time: You wouldn't even believe the ways some teams find to lose.

 

[jstreet]

That was a totally baffling move. But I'm glad that he did it because we needed the momentum back in our favor

 

[Mansfield]

tank commander peter horachek

 

[Pi]

Bernier gave us the loss so I support this move.

Horachek is a great tank commander. We need him to come up with similar moves.

I hope we switch goalies every 5 mins.

 

[Pyrophorus]

I've been supportive of him, and I wouldn't say classless, but it was a poor move.
JR allowed 0 goals-left with the lead

Great for

[Stand Witness]

Horachek is the tank commander. Part of me actually believes that management is throwing him money to purposely lose.*

* I wish

 

[Machinehead]

I wouldn't call it classless. Stupid is the word I would use.

The original guy who started was ready to go back in after getting cut. That's why.
