Reimer is the worst goalie in the NHL

[Orfieus]

Reimer is a big goalie with big pads, except the pads are getting smaller

 

[VoluntaryDom]

The equipment change has hurt a lot of goalies. It's a hard change to deal with not that Reimer was spectacular before or anything.

Florida's defense is terrible. Though, so there's that. That whole team is terrible. Dale Tallon to the Panthers is what Bill Peters is to the Flames. The ultimate sell job. You have a huge climate and monetary boon to make you an attractive spot, a spot lots of Russians are flocking too, and unlike their state rival they just continue to float just below mediocre. I honestly feel like GM'ing for a Florida team is GM mode on easy.

I feel bad for Trochek, Barkov and some of the other good players on that team.

players cant get the endorsement deals in florida that they can get in canada, not to mention like the JT signing no players are "coming home" to florida. and you rarely see either of the florida teams pick up a big name UFA. in recent memory biggest name UFA either florida team has signed that i can think of is Anton Stralman.

Am I wrong? Discuss.

Absolutely Mike Condon is in the league. He literally flinches at shots right now.

 

[bert]

Depends on whether Condon counts as an NHL goalie, I guess...

I guess upon reconsideration and the title of the post he does not count because he is not currently in the NHL. However the 2.5 games he did play this season were hands down the worst any goalie has played this season and its not close.

Chad Johnson gives a firm wave.

not even the worst goalie on his team

Well, Scott Darling, Darling, Please... came to mind, and it seems by GSAA it's also so:

This season is still quite early, so I referred to last season. So far this season, Mike Smith is in stiff competition with Matt Murray and Calvin Pickard. Darling is lagging behind by being roughly league-average, but it's just 7 games for him. He still has time to work on being the worst.

Jake Allen.

Reimer would be better if he just stood there. Anytime he gets into "position" he shrinks his body and drastically opens the net. He can't read a play to save his life. Check out his play last night. Closes his eyes and ducks for slappers and makes a wish.

He sure does! He sometimes reminds me of a turtle trying to pull his limbs and head into his shell when he goes into the butterfly.
It's so frustrating watching him make ten-bell saves and then follow it up by giving up incredibly weak goals.

Very uninformed post. We're a good goalie away from being a playoff team

 

[shtorm2005]

Jake Allen.

His very underrated in this thread. He should win this award.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

not even the worst goalie on his team

Allen has been playing very well the last 5 or 6 games.

Game 7.

You cant put that on him, his team crumbled around him and the final 10 minutes were played almost entirely in the Leafs zone.

Reimer has confidence issues, when it's there he can go on little stretches were he plays like a Vezina calibre G, unfortunately it's not there much.

James and April win at being the nicest NHL couple though.

Of course it was a team loss. But you gotta admit that the Leafs would have won if they had better goaltending in the 3rd period.

and thats all that matters

 

[tony d]

Not sure he's the worst but he's up there, Florida needs goalie help in the worst possible way.

 

[Jets4Life]

Reimer is a weird story. When he's on, he's a good goalie. When he's off, he's really off and terrible. He's never just average.

Sounds exactly like Pavelec.

Matt Murray says hey.

At least Reimer isn’t on IR for mental issues

 

[DJB]

Reimer is bad but hes not thw worst

I'm positive teams aren't allowed to lie about why players are on IR. They've clearly said he has a lower-body injury. Keep in mind, too, that if your unfounded theory is correct, you're mocking a person for having mental health issues. Surely you don't mean to do that.

Well he did cause me to win our fantasy league a couple of years back so I love him...
