He's my boy.  Before this season is over more than 1 fan on here will say "Thank God for Dupuis!"
 
I can remember when the Leafs had 12 guys with more then twenty goals. But now I am aging myself.

I think that the boys will pick it up this evening and blow the Kings out of the water

Nothing against Reimer, but he better start playing like a #1 soon if Wilson is going to keep starting him like one. Terrific ES save % or not, he hasn't really proved to be a better option than Gus yet.

Reimer has been ordinary all season.  The jury is still very much out on whether last year was an aberration, or this year is.

If anything, his starts might be suggesting otherwise.  It seems like he's struggling to track the puck through traffic, and he's not a great reactionary goaltender.  His glove is actually pretty weak.  I was at the Buffalo game and it was pretty bad, even on the pre-game shootaround, he stops everything on the ice/blocker side and gives up a lot glove side.  He's really slow getting at pucks on that side.
 
We really cant blame Reimer, his defense has been awful. I think that they need to get back to basis. Clear the puck, enough with the pretty little pass in your own zone.

We are still going to win this evening. No penalties please

Vanek did to Reimer what he does to other goalies a lot, so I don't blame Reimer, but rather, the Leafs porous defence.  Same thing with the Canucks, the Leafs defensive system sucked, and I don't blame Gus for that one either. 

The Leafs can win this one, but they have to be better defensively.

The Bruins and Rangers have good defensive structures.  The Leafs don't.  So those numbers with the Leafs would be much higher.
