Injury Report: James Reimer (Head/Neck)

[LeafsTop6]

And no call

it was his own player, josh leivo.

 

[Tyler Biggs*]

I'm hoping for two things: Reims left as a precautionary measure and Bernier steps in nicely.

I'm sure Mr. Bernier will do a good job! He's looking for every opportunity to seize the #1 goal tending position, and he's qualified to do it in my humble opinion. GO LEAFS GO!

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

Just got off work and turned on the computer to see this. Damnit! Wow he has zero luck. Hopefully he isn't out long but at least we have Bernier.

 

[DeathToAllButMetal]

Working and missed the game. Godeffingdammit. Poor Reimer. Just hope this doesn't turn into 2011 all over again.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

They are saying he should be able to practice tomorrow. So there's that.

 

[p.l.f.]

We'll see

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Expected to practice tomorrow ? Doesn't sound too serious hopefully.

 

[The Reaper]

Carlyle says he suffered a headache

 

[Tyler Biggs*]

I love Reimer, always has a smile and always gives it his all, him and Bernier are both young and both have different styles but, a solid 1-2 punch in goal is going to help the Leafs this year.

I wonder if all those Toronto fans who were so eager to drop Reimer from the team when Bernier was playing so well are still wanting to trade him? Reimer is only 25 and he will continue to improve for many years. Many goalies only reach their peak around their mid 30's. He will learn to control his rebounds over time; but what you have to like about Reimer is his desire to win and his resilience. It seems that whenever the fans and media are ready to write him off, that he comes back very strongly and proves them all wrong. You've got to love this young man's spirit!

 

[Green Snow Storm]

How long before the media calls his Mom again?

 

[CR]

Sad to see something like this happen to a goaltender. Hopefully everything is good and he'll be back in the net in no time.

 

[7even]

Injuries will always keep him from being a bonafide #1

Yep, he's clearly prone to getting kicked in the face. Will always hold him back.

 

[pucky]

A headache doesn't sound good for a guy who's had a concussion last season. Hopefully, 'expected to practice' means that he's okay and no symptoms remain or come back.

Does that guy have bad luck or what?

There's a thread asking which goalie should start but the health of these goalies should be #1 priority and maybe some defensive help.

 

[spidergoalie]

Yes if he caught it it doesn't happen this time, but goalies go after rebounds all the time and it is a good thing. He made the right choice given he didn't catch it.
It really was a freak accident.
Hopefully it is just a headache and he left the game to make sure it isn't more serious.

 

[Coatsy79]

Yep, he's clearly prone to getting kicked in the face. Will always hold him back.

That really tickled me

Reminded me of how they always say lupes was injury prone when he broke his arm last year

 

[TheBigThree]

What in the **** is going in with these injuries.

 

[ConnorTO]

get better James

 

[EscapeGoat]

I think he should be able to practice tomorrow according to Carlyle. Good news?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Someone call FATCHUK now. Maybe he can call Reimer's mom.

 

[Daisy Jane]

I hope that James is feeling better.
one is oft to have a headache after having a guy ram his knee into his head.

 

[Tak7]

Someone call FATCHUK now. Maybe he can call Reimer's mom.

Legit LOLs

 

[EDDIE20*]

Someone call FATCHUK now. Maybe he can call Reimer's mom.

Something tells me Feshuk has her on speed dial, just for moments like these.

 

[Patty Lee]

Not trolling at all, been a Leaf fan since 72. If he caught the puck the play is dead. It was a routine save then he goes fishing for it. Freak accident but that's how they happen.

pathetic

 

[TheTotalPackage]

pathetic

I don't get why those who have suggested it are getting admonished for doing so. I don't it's an unreasonable assertion to make at all.

 

[Derrty]

Because until we know the extent of the injury; it is especially classless to blame the victim.
