It might be time to give Reimer the crease for a month or so. Reimer has a better career save % and has played about 100 more games than Mrazek, so its not like Mrazek has a starter pedigree that Reimer does not have. If they do it, they have to give him the job for a good month, win or lose. You need to do this if you really want to see his game. In Toronto Carlyle and Babcock would mess with the goalies' heads, "win and you're in". Imagine doing that to any other player, bring them up from the minors, say, "we'll give you 10 minutes on the ice, if we win, you can play again". Goalies loose after very good performances all the time, and also the reverse. Some might question this move based on Reimer's numbers in Florida last year. But how is Bobrovsky doing this year? Florida, for the last few years, has been a terrible place to be goalie. |
