Stellar game by Reimer. Don't think I can sum this game up in just one word though. The amount of shots weren't overly concerning throughout the game but again, the team collapses in their end in the third period and don't play aggressive enough to move the play to the other end of the ice. Best way to avoid giving up the tying goal is to play more in the offensive end rather than getting hemmed in your own end. With that said, Gunnar and Phaneuf (especially) were great tonight. Can't even be mad about the Ovi goal...they were pretty damn good at shutting him down for the most part. Of all of the games I've seen Holtby play like ass, tonight wasn't one of them. He was on his game and made some big stops on what would seem to be easy tip ins. The shut down line was great. Rielly's speed was a sight to behold. Kadri's line was great and especially Clarkson showed a lot of hustle all night. First had some chances as well. Not sure how I feel about this speculation about Kessel's wrist. He's nursed wrist injuries in the past but we usually don't hear about it until the end of the season.
No doubt Reimer earns the next start.
Glad Grabo is okay after that skate to the face. The replays were tough to watch.
