That's the mistake Ron Wilson did last year when Reimer returned from his injury that cost him his job and the colossal fall out of the playoffs.
Reimer hasn't won anything nor proven anything to be called the #1. He has to earn it over Scrivens period... He's coming back from injury with Scrivens playing so well Reimer should be given spot duty and earn the net again if we don't want a repeat from last season. Nothing should be given to him and that includes the tittle of being called the #1.
Not that Reimer has a ton of experience himself he doesn't but he does have significantly more then Scrivens he has proven more then Scrivens he is the #1
That's exactly what cost the Leafs... The Leafs were in 1st place in the east when Reimer returned and was given the net over Gustavsson who was getting the job done. Reimer was off consistently allowing soft goals like Scrivens did with the NYI and Tampa games this year that sunk the team in front and was constantly GIVEN starts one after the other to get going cause he was the #1. Up to January with the team now in 9th place and the change in goal happen again back to Gustavsson suddenly the team saw it's self climb back up the standings to 5th just 3 pts out 4th allowing a grand total of zero PP goals against and 3 shut outs during that month. What was wrong with the teams defense during that time? After just 1 bad period from Gus he went right back to Reimer who was still off and lookie lookie Wilson's decision of no trust in Gus effected the whole team cause both goalies lacked confidence for 2 different reasons after that point where they couldn't stop beach balls that sunk the entire team which was related to the coach and was fired in result of it.

Colton Orr is expected back for Wed vs Montreal. #Leafs
If we are winning with Scrivens we should stay with Scrivens.
