Reimer and Benny boy are still battling for the starting role they split the game, and get a shutout. We proceed to play the season with tends alternating every 30min. Wouldn't put it past this org now.

^Told by? (Not totally unreasonable to assume given that his conditioning would be better than Reimer as he is already playing in As).
Injury Report:
Good chance that at least two of JvR, Orr and Gardiner miss opener due to injuries

All I seen was the Feschuk article where he said if it were up to him Scrivens would start. Other than that I've not heard/seen anything regarding who is starting on Saturday, but I'd be very, very surprised if it wasn't Reimer.

I'd think Reimer as well.
Person who told me probably read that article and took it as fact. They aren't that bright.

On what basis should Reimer be set in stone as the opening game starter? If Scrivens looks better in camp, then by all means he should be starting. As far as anyone should be concerned, we don't have a #1 goalie. It could be anyone of those 2 for all we know.

No more "Pulling a Wilson" with our goalies.
If you don't have a proven clearcut #1, then don't force the #1 label on one of your goalies anyways, like Wilson always did.
Don't name either of the goalies the #1 guy, and let them fight it out with no other pressure other than competitive pressure, and don't box yourself into a corner where you're scared to play your other goalie because it might hurt your supposed "#1"s confidence.
Wilson always forced the label on someone, and it never worked.
Carlyle's on record as saying that the goalie spot is an open competition, and that's the way it should be until one of the goalies distinguishes himself.

1) TV guides are unreliable
2) It's the Leafs on a Saturday night... versus the Habs no less.
3) It's confirmed on the schedule, CBC.

Holy hell. It feels like forever since i've seen one of these threads. Playing against the Habs, Saturday night game, Hockey Night in Canada; no better way to start a season.
