Post-Game Talk: Lightning @ Leafs | No guts, no heart, no playoffs ?

[Joey Hoser]

Reimer's save percentage was 914 going into tonight. He was just .828 for the game.

 

[Espher]

I would say since the Leafs were up to 3rd in the eastern conference, it's a little more than sometimes.

Yeah. Would have absolutely nothing to do with offensive output having us go on a huge tear and allowing us to rally from deficits.

Nothing at all.

 

[Vinsanity89]

If Reimer stopped the pucks he really should have stopped tonight, the game might have ended 4-3.

Of course, if Bishop stopped the pucks he really should have stopped tonight, it should have ended 4-1.

Here we go with the Reimer apologies....Giving up a terrible goal 30 seconds into the game affects team confidence period. Giving up 5 goals...well....

 

[HockeyGuy82]

We are suppose to show up every game. But this one, being soooo important, we **** to bed. I'm not even mad, i started cooling down last night.

I hope Ranger is alright.

 

[Espher]

We should fire Team Confidence.

It's ****ing up our defensive system with its bipolarity.

 

[Swervin81]

Leafs with 23 shots in the 3rd. Sure didn't feel like it.

 

[Faltorvo]

with the games in hand we can now be officially out of a playoff spot once they are caught up.

 

[saffronleaf]

True. But Clarkson has an ITG (intangibles) ranking of 156 while Stamkos is at 96.

lmao.

Clarkson is leading the league in ITG.

 

[Steven1562]

you can't win anything with a .828 sv % goalie in net.

You can't win anything if your goalie lets up a goal on the 1st shot and 1st minute of the game

 

[CerebralDevil]

Last year this team was a scary bunch to play against. Now it s a team of cream puffs and have zero push back. What a joke! You would think there would be some progression, yet it's the leafs so what else but regression and another 44yrs of crap hockey

 

[goonx]

When fans are defending a goaltender on goals that were "difficult" to save vs praising a goaltender on goals that he "robbed, you know your goaltending sucks.

Reimer played well for us but he's not our future. Bernier stole his job and Reimer wasn't up for the challenge.

Letting in 4-5 goals a game makes us look like the oilers.

 

[garyjones93]

what was he doing?

Not jumping the ref like he should have been doing.

 

[Revolt]

Another pathetic performance. Horrible goaltending, horrible structure, horrible defense.

This team needs a major shake up in the off season.

 

[shakes]

Reimer seems to play well when the pressure is off.. As soon as something is on the line or it becomes an important game, he ***** the bed. If he has a chance to think about it, he's done. The fact that he knows the team is relying on him now and there is no Bernier to save him, he is freezing.

 

[ldnk]

You're right. His rebound control is exceptional and his positional play puts him in the top 5 in the league or maybe he's ****ing terrible and my sarcasm is so thick it could choke a mule.

Clearly my defense of Reimer in saying that he wasn't the reason we lost is an implication that he's a god damn Vezina candidate.

Congratulations for winning the best poster of the year award. See I can do sarcasm too!

 

[saffronleaf]

If the Leafs don't make it to the playoffs... I don't even know. It's crazy. Two seasons ago we had that epic post All-Star break collapse. Last season it was Game 7.

I think if we don't make the playoffs and Clarkson continues his marvelous play... people might chase his ass out of town.

 

[Espher]

It's not like the team just ***** the bed defensively in front of Reimer either, guys. They do it in front of Bernier and it burns him, too, but when our guys score goals it matters less.

I'm just saying maybe the fact that Stamkos was left alone in ideal Stamkosian scoring position three times might have to do with team defence, and it may be a strong contributor as to why Tampa was up 4-2 at one point.

 

[hockeyes]

On the positive side, if we do miss the playoffs, Randy will be gone.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...Habs fan coming in peace, amigos...I just wanted to know how many actually blame Reimer for that loss, because I thought he played well in Detroit last night and played well again tonite...that first one was a fluke that anyone coulda let in (and have), just a bad screen bad timing fluke, and the rest were lackluster defensive plays where Reimer was hung out to dry...ya gotta feel for the kid, ya really do...

 

[ForzaItalia]

lmao.

Clarkson is leading the league in ITG.

Yep:

 

[Loosie]

Reimer is the worst goalie in the league this season

I'm certain that Dubnyk is worse. Reimer's season SV% is .910

 

[alcanalz]

Team was brutal tonight. Where was the D-zone coverage? People love to blame the goalies around here, but the d-zone coverage has been the reason why this team's had awful GAA since the last lockout. Seriously. Cut down on the turnovers and pick up a man, FFS.

But yeah, I'm sure it's that every goalie sucks and not the horrible defense.

 

[HockeyGuy82]

because I really, really don't want to get in trouble. I'm simply going to say, that at the end of the day, I'm not worried about this slid. Bernier will be back, and we'll be okay. the end.

I wish i was positive like you, but you must be soooo disappointed sometimes believing in the team that much.

 

[leafstilldeath*]

Because TSN is useless

Love the jersey he has on. Speaks volumes to the pukes wearing the blue and white.

All are losers

(Kessel and JVR are excused)

No they won't. We'll all be back come September thinking these clowns give as much of a **** as we do about them.
