Knowing your role and embracing your role aren't mutually exclusive. Reimer knew his role but he didn't embrace it. He was so focused on that starting job that he allowed it to affect his confidence. Reimer never looks pretty in net but having such long stretches of bad play has been uncharacteristic of him from what we've seen in his short career. Either he didn't embrace his role and struggled because of it OR second half Reimer is the real Reimer. Take your pick.

thank you btw, for telling us what happened in meetings between reimer and caryle and also management and how he felt and adapted to the role.
I mean, far be it that he's never been in that role in his professional career so I'm sure that would be a considerably easy adjustment to make part way through the season with no real advanced preparation at all.
