Its time to put Jesus Reimer in net and go on a winning streak!!!

That top 5 pick is ours damnit!!!!!


- SENS 613

It's just be a Daigle if the Sens get a top 5 pick. Stop ruining a young mans career.

Probably has happened to many great goalies at least once.

Well THAT will get people talking

it's funny how many on here repeatedly complain about the Leafs have always built their team from other team's garbage castaways and that the Leafs need to develop their draft picks to build the core...but many of those same people threw the Leafs' drafted goaltender (who is still the only net minder in the past 10 years to back the blue and white to a playoff appearance) under the bus for another teams throw away backup.

and they let kulemin go

Problem is, Bernier seems to allow a stinker in every game.

ok, I get it that he's the new Leafs coach and you want to give him a chance and all... but really, his record in Florida was absolutely brutal.
- Pecafan Fan

We're talking Reimer - Bernier doesn't really take a NHL Scout to see Reimer is a back up

Oh my, yes. He's there to suffer the rest of the way and that's it.
- Pecafan Fan

He's there either way. As the coach or an assistant. No point hiring your new coach in midseason when you can wait and see who is available in the summer. This team is done for the year, and a chunk of this roster could be gone by next season. Its really irrelevant, aside from draft posturing, whether this teams wins or loses the rest of the way.

Every game is a reach IMO. Has let some stinkers in, however for every stinker has probably made 4-5 other saves he had no business doing.

This is a pretty fair statement

Gardiner’s glaring mistakes are having a disproportionate impact on our assessment. His strengths — like getting the puck out of the defensive zone with much greater efficiency than other Leaf defenders — are less flashy and less noticeable, but actually have a much greater impact on suppressing shots and scoring chances than most people realize.

But ultimately it doesnt really matter to most

That's not fair, he could be a Chris Phillips

This is a pretty fair statement

Except it's not a true assesment IMO

Maybe he's had a couple good games all year.

Edit: hanging on to the puck and creating nothing is good analytics

Why? Future number 1 d man. Rielly and Hanafin? Yes please
- Santo_44

I think he thinks the same way I do: D-men are scary in the top-5. Forwards are more of a "sure thing", and we've got enough need at forward that that's where we should be looking

Problem is, Bernier seems to allow a stinker in every game.
- Pecafan Fan

He's by far our best goaltender, and IMO, has potential to be a Top 10 in the league easy. I'm not too concerned about what's going on now, everyone is not playing their best. The team is a morale nightmare right now.

Bernier is the future for this team, there is no question in my mind.

Like I said..it doesnt matter

Well THAT will get people talking

I hope HH doesn't see it, he might go Charlie Hebdo on the Star.

He's doing nothing but the analytics say he's our best D

new blog everyone

He's doing nothing but the analytics say he's our best D
- Garnie

I think its a mistake to trade him as easily as been suggested here...despite that article..he is a talented young offensive d man stuck on a team that demands too much d of him....we gotta have patience with him..he's one that will haunt leafs if they trade him away

He's doing nothing but the analytics say he's our best D
- Garnie

First I dont think he is doing Nothing.
But I dont think there is a lot of separation between say Rielly, Dion, Franson and Gardiner. non have been great.

Gardiner happens to be the best of that group at suppressing shots on avg.

This is a pretty fair statement


But ultimately it doesnt really matter to most

How is "scoring chances against" measured? Seems rather subjective, no?

be honest folks

Years ago when we got Toskala, did anyone think he was a legit starting goalie?

How about Raycroft, who had some record of most wins or some such thing?

Never mind the hindsight, I just mean AT THE TIME was anybody sold on these guys?

Could it be that we just have been enamored with Bernier for some reason or other and maybe, MAYBE, he's actually just a guy?

I've become pretty disillusioned, myself.

well, the Kings thought so, and so far, their ability to build a team is better than ours...so ya there's something to that
