Leafs @ Devils - Mar. 23rd, 7:00pm - LeafsTV, TSN 1050

but they didn't ...so now what?  i think you have to do something other than reimer ...the team doesn't seem to believe in him right now

I'm not so sure how true that is. That being said, as L K puts it, it's pretty much a guaranteed loss any way and MacIntyre really doesn't have a future in the NHL, so, meh. The season is pretty much done any way.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

oh joy......they score but Kessel's injured on the play...ouch. (doesn't look serious, just painful)

 

[Stronger Than All]

Are you freaking kidding me?  Too late!  Again!

 

[bustaheims]

Well, at least Kessel is still good.

 

[mc]

good luck coming back against the devils my leafs.

reimer, thanks for spotting the other team a 2+ goal lead again. soft goals.

Yeah, because that was all Reimer, not the guys allowing 2 on 1's and breakaways like they are going out of style.

Last time Bernier started?  2-0 after the 1st.

Montreal: had a two goal lead before the 10 min mark of 1st period. Lost 4-3
Tampa: had a goal one minute in from puck drop. Lost 5-3
Detroit: had a goal by 12 minute mark of first. Lost 3-2
Washington: had three goals before the 10 min mark of the 1st period. 4-2

today: spotted a nice three goal lead to the Devils.

Yes so?  This isn't a new thing.  Leafs have only had a lead after the 1st period 17 times in 73 games, and have been down after the 1st 31 times in 73 games.

So it's just a coincidence our longest loosing streak is with Reimer starting in net at the most crucial time?

 

[ZBBM]

I was just about to say, he needed to get one.  That was great.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Smart play by Kessel to get the team an extra breather.

 

[Damian]

So you need a goal and you have Phaknucklehead and Franson on .... thats the best ya got Randy? Jeezuz

 

[mc]

heart.

 

[ZBBM]

One small step toward a Carlyle-Free Future.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

again..i don't know why we had to wait for that third goal to pull reimer

 

[mc]

again..i don't know why we had to wait for that third goal to pull reimer

its all a huge ploy to get our behinds seated to watch Windows commercials until the end.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

At least Detroit is now losing.

 

[bustaheims]

again..i don't know why we had to wait for that third goal to pull reimer

Because you don't blame the goalie for the poor line change that lead to a poorly played 2 on 1 or for poor coverage that lead to an Elias breakaway.

 

[L K]

Two stupid plays at the end of that game.

1) Phaneuf had a chance to carry the puck into the zone with about 25 seconds left, he threw the puck into the corner instead

2) Franson with 5 seconds left throws the puck back toward the Leafs zone (where nobody was) rather than at least attempting a low percentage fluke play

Yeah. It's no coincidence.

No.  You are right.  The Leafs are awesome and this is all on Reimer.

 

[Britishbulldog]

Detroit just gave up 3 goals and are now losing

 

[bustaheims]

At least Detroit is now losing.

It's okay. They'll let Columbus beat them in OT on Tuesday when the Leafs get throttled by the Blues instead. Why knock the Leafs don't to the 2nd wild card when you can knock them out of a playoff spot entirely?

Actually the Leafs are average and Reimer sucks. With Bernier, they have a prayer.
