Where’s Reimer?

Where’s Reimer? Can you find him? I know the Maple Leafs sure wish they could, as they have “no idea” when he’ll be back.

Goaltending was the main factor in last night’s loss to the Panthers, as the Maple Leafs had a 39-28 shot advantage. Although shot numbers can sometimes be deceiving, this clearly was not the case last night, as the Leafs had many quality scoring chances but were thwarted by Jose Theodore.

It’s not just that Gustavsson’s numbers (3.78 GAA, .878 SV%) are awful, it’s as if he’s the anti-Grant Fuhr, allowing weak goals at the most inopportune times.

As for Ben Scrivens, I guess we’ll have to be patient with him, as he’s not going to come in like James Reimer did last season and set the city on fire.

    I mentioned this earlier, but what if we traded Lombardi and Gustavsson for Mason and Pahlsson?

    Mason has had success in the past, and it’s pretty clear that he needs a change of scenery in order to get his career back on track. Pahlsson is added to the deal to even up the the numbers. His strong defensive play would be a welcome addition to our third line, and his salary comes off the books at seasons end, giving management some flexibility.

    The Jackets get some much needed secondary scoring in Lombardi, who can play center or wing and is slowly getting his game back, and they swap one struggling goalie for another, hoping that playing for a small market team in a less pressure intensive environment will help Gustavsson finally put his struggles behind him.

    We can’t sustain any pressure in the opponents’ zone because we don’t have any size up front. That needs to be addressed.

    Why would he be used to Allaire’s systems and style?
