I think you are right and it is sort of surprising to me that it is so difficult to get everyone on the same page. I can only infer that it has something to do with the work ethic of this particular group, lack of egos and a team-first mentality that the previous groups did not have. This would be a perfect group for Sundin to have been associated with and the exact person that we need as 1C just 10 years too late.Highlander said:

I'm really hoping Nonis is just seeing where this team is. The fact that he didn't rush out and try to get Luongo at any cost gives me some confidence that it's his approach. If as the GM, he told ownership that he believes the Leafs are a bubble team, or slightly worse than a bubble team, there's no reason to try and make a move right now. Let's see what we have already in the system (i.e. Scrivens more games, Rynnas as backup) before we make any rush decisions on goalies. The Leafs are playing well right now, no need to try and bring someone in. I think that's a decision to be made over the summer or into next season. Hopefully Reimer gets back soon and is able to play a majority of the games down the stretch. I think we'll know what we have at that point.

jonasTSN1050: Reimer update: MCL knee strain. Expected to be out for a minimum of one week.
If that's it, that's not so bad.
If that's it, that's not so bad.
Reallistically it will be 2 weeks, so he would miss 6 games.

This is doable with Scrivens and Rynnas. If we go 3-3 this strech, it would be perfectly fine, the Leafs can afford even 2-3-1 or 2-4 record.
No rush move (giving up kids/picks for veteran goalie). Ben or Jussi may actually surprise as Rynnas should get at least one game (either Florida or Tampa game), let?s see what we have.

That's something of a relief... Though I hope it doesn't take him out of the tremendous groove he was in. :-\

did they say what exactly the injury is? something more specific than 'lower body'?
EDIT: nm.....it's in the Star :::blush:::

You mean the "Austrian" Hockey League! I would probably qualify to be a starting goalie in the Australian league, if there even is one.

I think that means the full duration he would be out and back playing again.
I'm sure they will give him 2-3 days off and see where the injury is at, then back on the ice after that for practices until he's ready again.
If it truly is a strain, it shouldn't take long at all to get back. Also, this is better news than if it had been a groin injury. A LOT better.

Well, even if he's off the ice for the full week, it'll only take a couple days after that for him to be ready. My guess is his ETA is somewhere in the 10-14 days range.

It also depends on the severity of the strain. From what I can tell, Kipper's is more serious.
