I think it was russia's second goal that killed them - that was a total collapse of all positions and they never really got it back after that..just lost their confidence.

  • Psyched because this is probably the first time in 20 years Tech has someone on the world juniors roster, Blake Pietila will probably be representing the US this year.

Ouch, stuck with Silver. Regardless, I'm happy since we beat the Americans who won last time.

Indeed...I saw the leafs blow a three goal lead and thought "two days in a row? facepalm"...but we won in a shootout so I'm happy :D

Holy hell leafs win 9-3!

 

But how in the WORLD do you go -3 when your team wins 9-3? Huh? Brett Lebda???? Why are they still playing this guy?

Yeah I'd much rather see Aulie or Holzer on D than him.

Make that a 4 game, and ron wilson's 600th career win. Only 867 more for #1 :P

i tried to avoid the reimer bandwagon, but jeez 40/42 saves last night and been so good for all his starts.

 

i heard there's also another marlies goalie was supposed to be better than him :o

 

well either way, i'll be glad when we see giguere move on

I have to say, last night's win surprised me. I know the Sharks have been struggling, but still. Also, I wonder if they are giving any extra thought to keeping Reimer in the NHL after yet another strong game.

 

They said they want to give the starts to the goalie who is getting wins, and that goalie is Reimer.

Yeah Jussi Rynas was supposed to be even better, but they're keeping him in the AHL this year for practice (like what they should have done with khadri).

Agreed. I think they should trade giguere asap, he probably wouldn't be too difficult to move as he's pretty good and his contract is almost up. Plus it would give TO a ton of cap space (not that we need it though aha).

 

If you think about it they don't really have a choice, they can hardly send reimer down now the way he's been playing, and they can't exactly send down giguere or gustavsson either.

Leafs are on a roll, I'm surprised.

I agree. I like Giguere, but he is the best option to be traded. And sending him to the minors wouldn't do any good, since somebody could (if anybody really has the cap space) claim him off waivers and we get nothing for him.

i think giguere is too expensive, injury prone and there's no chance in hell he'll agree to play in the AHL. he couldn't even stand being a backup for the ducks.

 

the game against coyotes tonight will be a good test for reimer because they've been playing well. i still think it's safe to stick with gustav/gigeure til the end of the season because it's not like the leafs will make the playoffs

That's the thing though, he's not too expensive. He's 5 mil a year but this is the last year of his contract so basically any team taking him would have zero obligation...he'd also be a UFA after the contract expires so they can do whatever they want with him.

he's 6 mil a year. i don't know any team desperate enough for a goalie that would want him

Is he? Thought he was five...ahh well.

 

No teams are really in a terrible goal situation, but there may be a market for him somewhere...particularly if they throw in someone like kaberle or beauchemin.

tampa bay was the one that was really in trouble and fixed it with roloson

 

anyway looking forward to the game tonight. let's see if reimer can play well with a team that's also on a streak (4 wins in last 5)

reimer played well. yeah board says 5, but he played well. he didn't give up any easy shot. but still, i think the infatuation is over.

 

so the goalie situation is fine, now it's easier to see how [bleep]ing terrible the leafs' blue line is. phaneuf is an overpaid moron

Woooot, Oilers whooped those Sharks, man those Sharks are in big trouble.

 

And Alex Burrows is the dirtiest player in the league. There's a line between agitating and intent to injure.

Yeah I thought most of the goals weren't really his fault. Beauchemin made a few good plays as well.

 

I imagine Giguere will get the next start - Reimer may get one more.

Sean avery, anyone? :P

Lol no, did you see that spear he gave on Staal?

 

And the spear he gave on PM Bouchard several years ago? That's DIRTY.

 

Sean Avery is like a harmless kitten compared to Burrows.

Didn't see it, link it?

 

Reimer sent down today - I guess it makes sense. He'll have his turn next year hopefully.

And I think sending Reimer down is the good move. Several games this season to give him a taste, and no pressure being put on him down in the A.

Staurolite.png

Agreed. One with Bouchard looked way worse tbh...

 

Burrows vs Avery, anyone?

"It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti

They should've fought.

 

But it would've gone something like this:

 

*burrows hits avery*

*avery 2hand slashes back*

*burrows spears*

*avery writhes around like a soccer player*

 

then the refs step in.
