If Mr Universe is in net, every time a save is made a 1 chant, "Humongous Big" should be given.
A smart stats guy from TO (@steveburtch) has an interesting piece coming out about Reimer comparing him to pretty much every goalie prospect from the last 15 years.
I quizzed him on it and he hinted that Reimer and Dubnyk are projecting better than Pav based on historical comparisons. Not sure where Montoya would have ranked or if he made the list. I am curious to see what the final post contains. I will post it for discussion when he publishes it.
OK, let's have some fun here...
So, all of a sudden Reims is injured and it looks he might be out for a while...for most of the rest of the season, or longer if it's an MCL tear or ACL...just as Leafs Nation is intoxicated with the prospect of a winning season.
As panic sets in, they start to look desperately for a starting NHL goaltender, any bona fide starter, to keep their Cup hopes alive, and settle on someone with big-league skill, despite his so-so stats and an unjustifiably hefty contract? This is the year for the Leafs, it is their destiny. They know it'll cost them big-time, but they can't wait any longer.
Follow my drift?
Hint: It's not Luongo.

Sounds like Couturier (flu) will be sent home and will not go to Winnipeg for Tues. game. #Flyers
The Great Malkin Buster will not be coming to play against the Jets...
You know... the one that when on the ice Malkin has only 22.40 scoring chances per 20 minutes rather than the huge 22.04 scoring chances per 20 minutes he normally has...
What's that? That's not improvement? So, Couturier wasn't shutting down Malkin??? oh...
Is 11pm Winnipeg time too early to post the game day thread? This guy's gotta go to bed!
Generally speaking, yes.
Tell ya what, post it if you gotta and I can delete it and then either myself or another mod can un-delete it at midnight CT. One hour from now.
Haha, thanks but I'll just stay up. The things I do for for this team...
Buff's back, they're playing at home and the Flyers goaltending is making the Jets look like they've got a Vancouver-situation going on. I predict the post-game thread will be joyous.
