James Reimer

[Atomos2]

And Bernier won twice as many games as Reimer. And no the Bruins weren't expected to eat up reimer. They aren't an offensive minded team. You better hope the team shows up against Anaheim or Reimer will look real bad.

One would like to think you'd be hoping the team shows up too, if you really are a leafs fan. Can't see why you'd want them to be bad just to prove an argument.

Obviously Bernier is gonna get some criticism. He's waltzing into a team and trying to steal the number one position from a goaltender that took that very team to the playoffs the year before and he's only one win above 500 while getting the majority of the starts from that goaltender. He better get some harsh criticism or else we aren't doing our job (relatively speaking).

Bernier has a long way to go...

To be the number one. Nothing has changed for me. If the playoffs started tomm., I am putting Reimer in the big game. Our defense is still suspect and as always we rely heavily on goaltending to single handily(Cujo,Belfour) win games. 10 games is too little to judge Bernier, but he hasn't stolen anything yet, not even close.

Leivo! Don't hit Jim in the head Bozo!

For people who were upset about Reimer not starting the last few games

@jonasTSN1050
James Reimer tells me he's been battling the flu. Likely why Jonathan Bernier made the past two starts. No remaining symptoms though.

There's your reason why.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Reimer should get the nod tomorrow night, then Bernier against the Pens.

 

[Atomos2]

This guy really needs to help this team. He was (one of) our most valuable players last season and we were chanting his name more than a few times at the ACC. Now he's become a distant memory replaced by a 500 goaltender.

I wouldnt say Bernier's a 500 goaltender...I really doubt Reimer could have done anything better if he had the team that's shown up the past few games playing in front of him. I do agree that Reimer should get a start soon though, probably tomorrow.

i miss u reimer

get us wins unlike what bernier does

 

[LeafsNation75]

If Reimer doesn't against Pittsburgh is that a sign that Carlyle has more faith in Bernier? It's a back to back situation just like the Leafs first two games of the season when both played. Plus if Reimer was healthy enough to back up Bernier after getting injured last week, wouldn't he be ok enough to at least start?

Bernier below .900 over the past five games. Don't understand how Reimer doesn't start soon unless his neck is still sore.

If Reimer is still hurt why is he at least backing up right now? At anytime Bernier could get injured (which I hope doesn't happen) and we can't have Reimer not coming in at 100%.

 

[Leafs87]

Really wanna give him a fair shake. I don't know why but I prefer him to Bernier.

Sorry in advance I never read the op just took it as a general reimer thread

Reimer is the guy who should be starting. Bernier has been average at best, and I believe if Reims is healthy he will take the #1 job.

I am thinking math is not your forte.

Maybe the team plays better with Reimer in net.

 

[Elimanator]

reimer is starting today from nhl.com so i think these 2 will get a fair shake

 

[Radiohead]

Reimer's updated stats:

3-0, 2.56 GAA, .933 SV%

Building up that trade value.

 

[The Reaper]

Great game for Reims

 

[ConnorTO]

Reimer is playing as usual... the #1

no surprise when he goes back to his spot eventually
sigh, Bernier fan boys cya

 

[JGuardz]

Another day at the office for Reimer. 30+ shots, no problem. Bernier is a technically superior goalie, but Reimer is a battler and that's why he doesn't crumble.

Its fantastic having 2 great goaltenders

 

[The Reaper]

Bernier who?

 

[The Beyonder]

Can't we just be happy that we got 2 goalies that can both play as #1's?

All this #teambernier, #teamreimer, is getting old. If they keep playing like they are right now, I'm confidant in both of them.

 

[StringsAttached]

Reimer was a stud tonight. If he learns to control rebounds I believe he will be our starter for a long time.

 

[Lisa Needs Braces]

I figure Reimer will get the next start. He played well, we won.

Berniers had the last few starts and wasn't super solid so we'll roll with Reimer for a bit I think.



And since its floating around that we should trade Reimer to Edmonton....if I'm Nonis, Reimer goes nowhere unless either Yakupov or Eberle is coming our way, which let's face it, is unlikely. We should roll all year with these two and potentially look at an offseason trade if we're that desperate. It doesn't hurt to have two solid goaltenders on the team, and we don't have massively glaring holes that warrant us trading one of them.

Yakupov and Eberle would be redundant on this roster. We would need to find a third team in this hypothetical scenario.

I love that we have 2 #1s
