Happy Birthday Grandma, oh James she reads it alright....and most weeks she just rolls her eyes and says " Jimmy everything can't be "the best" every week.

Go Leafs Go

And James Reimer is "just ok"....just too many goals go in from behind the net on this guy.


Thanks for reading

Look at the defense he had

Literally the worst thing Ive ever read. From the Toronto nonsense to the Reimer b.s. to your uneducated opinions on ufc, cant decide what was worse.

What can you do if they score from BEHIND the net

Look at the Rangers...Lundqvist doesn't cry poor D and still stops the puck.


Reimer's ok, just not consistent...when he's needed the most he just doesn't bring it.

But who knows, maybe he becomes Carey Price, I'm sure if he was still a Leaf you wouldn't even have chimed in

" even though they are/were arguably the best team in the NHL in both years."

If you don't make the playoffs, you are far from the best team in the NHL......that is not even debatable

I'm confused by your comment. Your a Bruins fans... that's fine... but clearly this can't be the worst thing you have ever read... some of the baloney that the Bruins coverage spews - both in print and on the air is just as bad as what Tanner says at times...

or are you just raw because he didn't mentioned anything about the used to be "big bad bruins"?

I'll give you the goals from behind the net. But his average on the shots from in front - which lets face it - is where most of them come from - is so vastly superior to Bernier's that its not worth commenting about.

And seriously, isn't this just another attempt to defend little Jonny... even if it is indirect.

Bernier gets paid almost 2M more than Reimer was making... and he single handed ly pretty much killed the season before it got going. Say what you will about Reimer and his flaws...

none of those Reimer flaws lessen or take about from Bernier's pure crapiness

Yes, UFC fans just scream of top-quality education... You sure see lots of "tap out" shirts being worn around Harvard, Berkeley etc...

Carey Price couldn't have saved the Leafs season.

He already corrected himself....he will be the 2nd best next to EK....even though EK plays more forward then D. A real great D like Lidstrom made the whole team better where EK just worries about his own points.


- Garnie

You listen to the pundits too much. EK65 is an exemplary defensemen and elevates his entire team. Lindstrom had much more support.

Carey Price couldn't have saved the Leafs season.
- Garnie

this is true.

and I'm glad the neither Reimer's largely very very good stretches of the season weren't enough to take them out of last place... nor was Bernier's "brilliance" during the "nothing time" part of the season ... for the 5-6 games when he played well.

James no room on your plus side for the Hawks on the very brink of elimination in OT ofgame five n battling back to force a game 7 in a great series. Cmon James it won't hurt you can compliment the Hawks

do they wear those shirts at Davis?

Riiiight, EK couldn't carry Lidstroms stick for him.

You enjoy the best rover in hockey and a mediocre team due to it...he's all offense and very little D.

Maybe a different coach will reign him in and use a team approach.

I cheer for the Sens too

Tanner,
you should know better than to be seen complimenting or commenting positively on a Leaf prospect.

you know they all turn to shyte the moment they are drafted!

Marner is just okay.

this is true.

I don't know what to think of goalies anymore...liked Reimer for a stretch before We lost to the Bruins and I liked Bernier a lot for a while...everything that hit him stuck tohim....and then the long poop started going on

"MINUS: James Reimer - who's statistics say that he was one of the best goalies in the NHL this year - was acquired by a team that doesn't use him, even though they probably should, basically for free"

Umm is there a good reason he should play over Jonsey? He wasnt free either.
- BeastModeS62

Nah jones hasnt done anything to lose his job, he's good. But my personal opinion is Reimer is better .

- nikel

The NHL has such parity that its far more than debatable that the best team -and cup champion ar the time, don't forget - could miss the Playoffs because of really bad luck. I say it happened.

- MarkStoned

I like that youve read enough of my work to know my views on EK, which you paraphrased, but yet your immidiate reaction was to freak out and call me an idiot instead of thinking that maybe i just forgot about someone.

What can you do if they score from BEHIND the net

- Garnie

For starters the D should be cleaning that up, if your getting scored on from behind the net they are not doing something right

- HamiltonHawk

You have three recent Cups man, but if you still need my support, you have it: the Hawks are a great team.

Nah jones hasnt done anything to lose his job, he's good. But my personal opinion is Reimer is better .
- James_Tanner

I gotcha, Jones has been a rock for us and is making a case for best goal tender in Sharks history. We will see how these playoffs turn out, step 1 complete.

- MarkStoned

Hes the best defenseman in the NHL by a ridulous margin and happena to probably also be the 2nd best defenseman to play in the NHL since Lidstrom made it in 1990.

He still has another ten years left and Lidstrom played on a good team every year, something Karlsson has never had .

At this point it seems at least even money that by the end of his career EK is considered superior to Lidstrom.
