reimer lets in a few soft ones and boom goes the dynamite!
lets do a quick half season analysis shall we?
to date reimer and scrivens sit 15/16th in save % yet find themselves mid to late twenties in GAA. What does this tell us? How about that the leafs are allowing too many SOG! Dont force your goaltender to make save after save and youll find he generally performs better.
Stop trying to blame two young goaltenders. Theyve been tossed into the deep end
Sure, you asked for it. Since returning from injury:
March 21: 4 goals against, blew a two goal lead to lose in a shootout
March 20: 2 goals against Tampa in the third period
March 16: 0 goals against, in relief of Scrivens
March 12: 4 goals against, got pulled at home in Manitoba
March 9: 4 goals against, spotted Pittsburgh a 4-1 lead
March 6: 4 goals against, almost blew the lead against Ottawa in the third
March 4: 2 goals against, beat New Jersey
February 28: 4 goals against, blew a two goal lead against the Islanders

And don't give me the injury excuse. If he's coming back and he's terrible, he should be benched. Which gives credence to the notion that a goalie who can play (not Scrivens) can fill in when he's struggling and not contributing to the team.
