Classless Horachek move at Leafs - Preds.

[Swervin81]

Horachek pulled a Pete Carroll there. Not quite sure what he was thinking putting back in an ice cold goalie with fresh stitches in his leg.

 

[Chandler55]

would reimer have been the first goalie ever to get a W without a start/finish? damn

 

[GerbeSonOfGloin]

Toronto's slide since they hired Horachek has been incredible.

 

[WilliamNylander]

So...anyone still think it was a stupid move?

10 in a row now. Thank you Horachek

 

[Semantics]

Reimer finished with a shutout, I think it was a good move by Horichuk to protect it.

 

[londonHK]

It was the right move for the tank commander. The Leafs are now the 6th worst team in the league!

 

[Nizdizzle]

I hate how this organization deals with Reimer.

 

[PredsV82]

Reimer apologist, yeah. I don't care who the two goalies are, it's a disrespectful move.

bullcrap. Reimer faced two shots in 5 minutes. Yes, he just happened to be twiddling his thumbs at the other end of the ice while Hutton had his usual two goal brainfart, but its not like Reimer 'led them back" from a deficit... it was Berniers start, and he deserved to finish it. Its not like he would have been pulled had he not been cut... Yes, they lost but you can't say the Reimer wouldn't have given up the same two goals

 

[DFC]

I wouldn't call it classless. Stupid is the word I would use.

Stupid like a fox.

#tank

Everything related to this team/organization is a mess - its treatment of Reimer is just one of many things that they're not doing right.

I remember an exchange we had.

Since we can't have the playoffs, lets get McDavid

 

[bnoseworthy]

Reimer made one good save, the other 3 were pretty easy.

I dont care who was in net for that third period, they werent going to come out winners. Poor coverage and being too soft in front of the net lead to those two goals in the third. Would have happened to Reimer just the same.

I agree it was a bad coaching move, but kudos to Bernie going back out there.

Horachek was inspired by Brad Pitts performance in Fury, so he has secretly vowed to take his crew in to the lowest place he can and tank it out.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Right move.

'cause... tank

Cause Bernier's play during that skid makes him deserve to keep on playing

 

[thesaadfather]

Not classless, just stupid. Not much of a confidence booster for Reimer or Bernier.

 

[Dirty Dan]

Horachek knows the fix is in. Implement a proper system that can be sustainable once the team improves, but right now winning isn't paramount. Losing 1-0 or 2-1 doesn't bother them too much

OT: I find the fact that you and I posted right after one another more than a little unnerving.

 

[Super Cake]

Maybe not classless, but it was extremely ****ing stupid.

 

[JCLiponfanboy*]

If the Jets could shed a goalie I would be interested in acquiring Reimer for a 3rd and a minor add.

 

[aemoreira1981]

Is it a classless move?

(Rhett and Link voice) Nope, it's just Toronto being Toronto.

Bernier now has an .892 save percentage since Christmas. Leafs aren't scoring but issues at both ends right now.

It was a bad move.

 

[Giuseppe Sallo]

Tank Commander... Hahaha

 

[Wayward Son]

Idiotic move?

...Or all part of the plan?

It was a bad move.

An elite level goalie would be able to steal games and avoid such a bad losing streak. Bernier would be a Back-up on just about every other team.

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

It wouldn't have mattered either way. Blown coverages on the last 2 goals sealed their fate more than the change did.
