Post-Game Talk: Montreal/Reimer defeat the Leafs....

[ULF_55]

Most entertainment is the PGT.

They might make it, they might not.

Whatever.

Can you imagine if you were in this race and might get a Datsyuk and/or Zetterberg added to the line up?

 

[leburn98]

I've been a fan of Reimer since he entered the league. I defended Reimer during the Leafs game 7 collapse but this last stretch of important games is all on him. Breakaways are one thing, but how many soft goals has Reimer let in this game alone? Three?


At this point I am done with Reimer and want him off this team. I would rather play the career AHLer than give Reimer another shot. The team clearly doesn't trust him and honestly who can blame them. You score 3 goals, comeback three separate times and your goalie can't make a save.

Something Clarkson or TWD related.

make/find/get me one and I will put it up.

Either that or the Yuppers 18 wheeler one

Does Carlyle play goalie?

He definitely runs a system of dumping the puck which created the turn over by Kessel IN THIS GAME. There are countless of them.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

reimer just needs to let in two goals to get warmed up

Warmed up for what? Letting in another two after that?

 

[Northernguy10]

**** you Reimer. GTFO Toronto.

Trade this loser. This loser better not play another game for our team again.

...I'm hoping you think the same of about a dozen other players on this team...soft...soft..soft.

 

[Vinsanity89]

Nah, that's not how Bipolar Nation works.

Reimer is the scapegoat this year and he will be vilified for not making up for every unnecessary offensive zone and defensive zone giveaway, or deflection, or blue line bungle.

The fact that you and I agree on something is kind of scaring me. It must be the End Times.

Ah I almost forgot about you! The Leafs didn't give up an odd man rush after the second shift of the game. 3 goals in the most important game of the season should result in a win, until Reimer let in 4, including the most terrible game winner of all time.

 

[mcleex]

Should have traded Reimer + Frattin instead of Scrivens

 

[Espher]

Tonight had nothing to do with the defensive coverage. You can't let in 3 completely brutal goals and expect to win.The coverage was OK, Montreal didn't play good at all and they had very little pressure. No excuse to let them coast to an easy victory.

The thing with the Leafs is they only need to **** up for four minutes to cost the game, because they **** up really badly.

They blew it on pretty much all of the goals, except for the last one, which seemed to find the one spot where it could hit Reimer and end up in the net.

I'm glad you remember me, since I've been lukewarm on Reimer all season aside from feeling he gets **** on for things where Bernier gets a pass. It's the new car smell.

Three goals should result in a win, for sure, except when the team as a whole gives up four owing to lapses..

Our **** defence doesn't excuse Reimer of the **** goals he's given up. Yeah, it plays a part but it doesn't change the fact that he's allowed terrible goals to get through him.

To exempt Reimer from any blame is foolish. He IS the scapegoat because his piss poor goaltending is leading us out of a playoff spot.

Toronto Maple Leafs Playoff Chances
Lost to Montreal 3-4, playoff odds down 16.5 to 44.1%

It was at 90% on March 13th. 9 days ago!

 

[Kyle Doobas*]

The Good:
- Nice to see Bolland back at all, let alone already making a physical impact
- Gardiner continuing to look like a different player from earlier this season
- Secondary scorers finally showed up
- #2-6 defensemen played well for the most part

The Bad:
- Phaneuf looking gassed
- Kessel still a bit too careless with the puck

The Ugly:
- these are the types of games Clarkson was signed to have a real impact in and he didn't even play like he gave a damn in the least, very disappointing
- I don't think I even need to mention his name.... but yeah, at this point he's damn near losing us games all on his own

 

[ECanuck]

Everyone except 1 guy showed up to play today. Unfortunately for the Leafs the 1 guy was Riemer and he let in 3 brutal goals as his team completely outplayed Montreal to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

What a bum, totally done with him. I guess this is what happens when you get stuck with a disgruntled goalie during the most important stretch of the year. He knows he is gone and honestly I am seriously wondering if he is slacking on purpose to spite his team at this point.

The good news though, Randy is done as well, no way he escapes this collapse with a job.

I get that gut feeling too. Hence, I don't want that guy to go in net with a leaf uniform again.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

The overreaction on Reimer is priceless. Yup, he is the sole reason Leafs suck and lose.

 

[eddieO]

Posted this at the end of the game thread. Stand by it.

The leafs have been out played, out hustled, out shot, and out chanced (sometimes 2-1) for the entire season. We've made a habit of having our goalies bail us out of every situation imaginable.

And now that goaltending (who have bailed us out all season) aren't saving our ***** anymore, everyone's turning on them.

Sure... Reimer hasn't played well for a few games. But the ENTIRE TEAM hasn't played well all freaking season. It's time for the TEAM to bail out our goaltenders for a change.

THIS.

Reimer sucked tonight but not the reason we miss the playoffs. Leafs Nation needs a simple way to figure out how a bad team all year, missed the playoffs.

 

[dubey]

I am just having this feeling that Reimer is playing piss poor on purpose to mess with Randy

He's playing for a job in the NHL. What kind of nonsense is this LOL

 

[TheKule]

All this talk about Leafs Goalies regressing...

The Leafs dominated play and possession tonight. Reimer wasnt asked to do a lot.

 

[Elimanator]

I got sick of watching them so I watched Red Bull Crashed Ice. Brutal game though. We had soooooo many chances and we blew them and that GWG tho . That's the only time I agreed with Healy. And and Reimer u better request a trade.

 

[James Duthie]

Man Reimer has been disappointing. BERNIER I BEG YOU PLEASE COME BACK

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Now folks know just how bad this could be without Bernier.

Imagine if we didn't have him. 26th GA, could be 30th GA in the NHL.

Yikes.

But Leafs fans all love our flashy, artistic merit players on this team.

Coach, Players, GM share equal blame. As I said in the retool thread. Need more/better 2 way players on this team.

[likeabosski]

...He's totally lost his confidence and plays on a horrible defensive team to boot.he'll bounce back...with another team...

Toronto actually managed to *gasp* tie Montreal in shots on goal though (36-36). So it's not like you can even blame the defense this time. Montreal's possession play is not very good either (but better than the Leafs usually). And tonight Montreal's possession play was especially bad. The Leafs beat them 70-62 in shot attempts (Corsi).

The problem is definitely James Reimer's confidence level at this point. He has been playing like garbage the past four games.
