GDT: Game #36 | Cats @ Leafs | 7PM LeafsTV | #FeedTheChickens | #RAAANDY | #GoLeafsGo

Remier should be starting. They are leaning too much on Bernier at the moment. Playing him both nights in a B2B is a bad choice.

plus Reimer is better than Bernier.

Clarkson's back tonight, yeah? Was his suspension two games or three?

We definitely could've used him in last night's game.

Need a win tonight

Hope we don't run out of gas for this one lol

You dont need to convince me of that bud

He is back and I agree.

He is the style of player that would have put pressure on and gained puck possession better.

Hopefully tonight against the Panthers the Leafs can control the puck in the offensive zone better than yesterday and Clarkson is one of those players who's role and responsibility it is to do exactly that. Win puck battles along the boards and get teammates those scoring opportunities.

 

[Primary Assist]

We want Reimer! We want Reimer!

Bernier's fine but Reimer is primer!

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Release the Clarkson

Release the Clarkson

I wish we could just release players from their contracts...

 

[Hibachi]

Seems like Bernier might be starting, he missed option practice which usually happens when you are starting.

And the D'amigo hit was clean, he had his head down reaching for the puck. You don't do that in the NHL, love D'amigo but hopefully he learns from that.

these December games against Florida are where your investment in Clarkson really starts to make sense. expect a monster game from him against our bitter rivals the Panthers.

Panthers have won 3 straight and are on a roll of late so Leafs have to take them seriously tonight.

There is times where teams take an opponent too lightly and tonight could be one of those potential situations here.

Leafs hopefully bring their A game.

After how this team has played for most of the last month and a half, they really have no right to take ANYONE lightly.

Heck, last night was one of those situations with all of the injuries.

Hoping for a clean intense injury free match.

Huby a gametime decision; Gudbranson in. Winchester out.

Thomas not available till Friday, you luck out with Clemmer.

Leafs have been lucking out facing 3rd and even 4th string goalies in some recent games.

looks like Reimer starts after all?

No disagreement here, but we have all seen this play out often as I suggested.

Playing up to your level of competition.

You look at the schedule and see Bos, LA, STL, Chicago and Pitts and think better bring your A game.. Then Florida comes along and teams look past them thinking this is a win and look past it. Florida is that perfect storm opportunity for this to occur tonight.

Hopefully the Leafs come out tonight and not take the Panthers for granted.

James Reimer will be the starting goalie Tuesday night when the Maple Leafs host the Florida Panthers at the Air Canada Centre.

Reimer starts.

 

[Kelly]

gahh..

JUST WIN.

 

[BayStreetBullies*]

I guess bobbyflex won't be happy that Reimer is starting.

But glad to see Optimus Reim getting a chance to bounce back.

 

[Diatomic]

I love Berny but he lets in goals at the absolute worst time. It seems like anytime in the 3rd period were trailing or tied he lets in a goal with like 5 minutes left. His record shows how inconsisent he's been.

Looking forward to seeing Reimer back

Don't see how anyone can blame him for letting in a Crosby goal when he's wide open. Would you like to see him make that save? absolutely, but you can't fault any goalie for that type of goal, especially with the best player in the world.

Bernier actually played great last night, both goals weren't his fault.

Reimer starts.

Thank you! First post being updated as we speak.

 

[Cor]

Eh, I am more confident in Bernier ATM, was good against Hawks, and great last night (only 2 GA allowed, 1 was Crosby wide open in the slot, no chance)

However, Reimer deserves this start, it's a back to back, and would be stupid to play Bernier both nights when we have a goalie who is almost as good as Bernier sitting on the bench.
