Leaf Rumours

And really, as bad as Giggy has been, he really hasn't been the problem. He only played 17 games and was 8-7-2.

Its the other guy that killed the season.
 
Reimer looks good, but lets be serious for a minute here.

He's going to lose a game sooner or later, maybe two - and then he's just another potential starter in the mix.
 
No he's not just another starter in the mix if he loses a game or two.

He's in the mix if he starts to suck balls and is one of the worst goalies in the league.

As long as he isn't that bad, he is the mix.
 
It still amazes me how little improvement Gustavsson has shown since the beginning of last season, especially given his natural talents. In many respects he's not only stagnated in terms of development but gotten actively worse. Has anyone discerned any semblance of improvement in his rebound control or mental composure? He seems to have a knack for meltdowns in numerous games in late situations. The home opener against Montreal in 2009-10, the game in Dallas a month later when they scored a goal late and then won it in OT, the game against Tampa Bay this season, the three-goal lead blown against the Blues at home less than a week ago. Gus just seems to manage finding ways of blowing leads late and that's definitely a mental issue.
 
Yeah, they've got to ride him like Columbus rode Steve Mason a couple of seasons ago.

If a goalie strings some wins together during an injury to the starter, you don't just hand the reigns back.
 
HennyTweets J.s giguere says he is healthy and ready to go. He hasn't heard whether he's backing up tomorrow night.

HennyTweets J.s adds that reimer deserves to start..."Its all about winning".
 
According to Steve McKichan, former Leafs goalie coach, Reimer is a Mennonite, and a very nice guy. Apparently when he lets in goals and gets frustrated he says things like "gosh darn it!" and never swears.

lol.
 
Apparently they breed amongst themselves. Burke should send a scout to the family farm to see if another one is kicking around like him. Can never have to many good goalie prospects

nah ... Gustavsson's value isn't very high right now, and you'd be stupid, if you were Burke, to trade Gustavsson when his trade value is what it is now. It'd also be stupid to assume Reimer, despite looking good in 5 games, is an NHL goalie already.

There are 2 sensible things Burke can do right now ... 1. carry 3 goalies, and keep going with Reimer until he plays himself off the team, then you send him down. Or 2. trade Giguere.

What Gustavsson is going through is VERY common for young goalies. Sophomore season is usually the toughest for young goalies, and thus the 3rd season is always the tell-tale sign. Of the 3 goalies we have, 1 has no future with the Leafs whatsoever, and that's Giguere. If we trade a goalie now, Giguere is the only one we'd trade.
 
similar but i dont think they are the same
both anabaptist though....


edit:
google tells me that menonites are a much bigger group....1.4m and hutterites are only 42,000

my old gym teacher was a menonite....dont think hutterites are allowed to work off of the colony...they also like old yogurt
