Boooo

OK we need a goalie. I like the term and AAV. Nice start to the silly season.

 

[NickH8]

Hockey wise good.

Person wise no thank you

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

Like the goalie. Don't care for the guy. But Reimer's a fine backup.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

I mean I’m obviously not a big fan. At least it’s one year.

 

[NickH8]

Like the goalie. Don't care for the guy. But Reimer's a fine backup.

Luckily he'll just be a 30 games at most backup and I won't have to think about him much.

 

[DTR]

When the best thing you can say about your backup is at least he’s only on a one year deal, your backup situation isn’t settled.

 

[Dotter]

Did we give up on Ned?

 

[RedWingzz]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Reimer is shit, and is a shitty person

I thought Steve liked good character people?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Hockey wise good.

Person wise no thank you

What's the deal with him as a person? And also is the bye Ned?

He's homophobic.

Would have 100% preferred Hellberg or Ned back over Reimer...

 

[SoupNazi]

I hope this isn't our big signing of the day.

lol no way... Reimer is better than both, come on man

 

[Go Wings]

If you googled washed up goalies I would expect Reimer and Quick to be at the top of the list.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Disappointing signing. Imo the worst decision Steve has made so far as GM.

Contract is whatever.

 

[norrisnick]

I saw the Gudas contract and was about to post that Steve should turn his phone off... Then I saw this signing and it's already too late.

One big thing was the refusal to wear the Pride Night jersey. While a lot of the corporate nonsense related to Pride Month is complete bullshit (I'm looking at you, NHL pride T-shirts and all that where like 5 cents of the $30 go to any cause resembling anything), Reimer's response to wearing it was really shit.

Agreed...awful, awful, awful

[Run the Jewels]

He's homophobic.

The NHL killed the pride jerseys so we don't have to deal with him being a little sh*t.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

That's why the JvR deal fell through at the deadline. We wanted James Reimer, not vanReimer

 

[Ezekial]

Didn't want Reimer or anything but can't really be mad at 1x1.5

 

[norrisnick]

Meh... Even if he were, would still prefer the other two.
