The "Mr. T" Man of the Match Thread, 2011-12

[Nik]

Reimer

HM Lombardi

Steckel, Phaneuf and Frattin were all good too but for a guy not expected to play to get a shorthanded winner, seals my vote.

 

[Tigger]

Reimer HM Phaneuf. I could also mention Lombardi for a remarkable comeback and Wilson/staff for getting the Leafs on track after the first, they were the better team and deserved the win.

You do make a good point there.  I was being a bit stingy. 
On reflection I might have given hms to reimer, Steckel, Lombardi or frattin (the last for a nice, smart rookie game).

To be honest, I thought the Habs were kind of pathetic offensively tonight.  Other than Price, their team looks to be in trouble.  Despite their apathy though, they out shot us 32-18.  Those 18 shots don't look good on us.

Reimer. HM is a tough one... Steckel, Phaneuf, or Lombardi... Hold a gun to my head, I take Steckel.
