IF they signed Lou as free agent. Reimer becomes and asset - too good to be a backup.

I've said earlier I prefer they keep goaltending as is and use assets elsewhere.

- Big_Lightnin


I think we don't need Lou. if we were to get a goalie, I'm all for getting a solid veteral backup. Lou as a back-up would be ideal. Hell, even splitting duties 50/50 is okay with me.
Having Lou, wouldn't making Reimer obsolete, IMO. Lou is getting older and by the time the Leafs are going to be a serious contender, Reims will be in his prime.
I dont care what goalies we aquire, as long as Reimer stays put at #1. Hes our future. Lou isn't.

Isn't reimer already at the age where he should be in his prime? Serious question

Essentially they took the watch from the car accident it broke in two four pieces. I think healty had one, parents kept one. The parents gave one piece to Ilya because he had been so helpful to them through the ordeal spent a lot of time at the hospital with them and I guess the overwhelming genuine concern he showed for the family and his teammate really touchd the family. He was still fairly young at the time but I think might have been captain. It something along those lines been a few years since I read it but I always remember the thing about him getting part of he watch. The other part might have been buried with him.

Maybe I'll pick it up, thanks.

I remember reading stuff about the actions of the Snyder family after their son's death.

Just crazy, powerful, unbelievably selfless, inspiring stuff.

good plan.

used to have a Sam's club card before they died. Couldn't go into that place without spending $500.

though one day I got a wicked treat. They had really good steaks surprisingly - like inch and a half striploins. Well one day I look at price, and it's like $9 for 4 of them - 16 ounce steaks easy usually about $32

read the label and it says "lean ground sirloin" somebody coded it wrong. Bought 5 packs

25 is pretty young for a goalie. Next 5 years should be his prime years. He's just getting there. And that game 7 was a big learning point for him (I would hope)

Burke did a lot of charity work in the name of his son too. Got tons of respect for him as well.

They have some fine foods there these days. I'm there every few weeks. Don't overbuy and don't buy everything. But there are some good buys. I split between there and BJs (tee hee).

You need to check out the food aisle at Shopper's Drug Mart.

Cheapest milk in town.

Ice cream (the good stuff) is always on sale.

Same with cereal.

I do all the shopping in our family. The only food my wife buys is takeout. It's for the best.

I guess it depends on the goalie, really. I think he can be better in a few years. He knows his weaknesses and I'm hoping he's smart enough to work on em.
I dont know though. Goalies are weird. I'm just being optimistic and hoping he's a late bloomer

Blessing and a curse, we have a Dairy Queen a couple minutes away (about 5 minutes walking), little one asks to go and says, "it doesn't take long so you can't say you don't have time daddy".
