Leaf Rumours

David Alter @DavidAlter590
Nonis on Reimer: His play has been very good, there is no reason why that can't continue, even if we brought another goaltender in.



goddammit. nonis is going to add an anchor contract goalie. ****.
 
Reimer isn't reliable at this point. Shows me that Nonis is playing for keeps. Not just happy to be there and willing to accept the participants ribbon.

Don't think he'll end up paying the price. But its only a good thing he is looking.
 
we've had some of the best goaltending in hockey this year, for peanuts, and they're young and cheap for years to come.

plenty of ways we can improve this team, adding an expensive goalie is a waste this year, and could **** us going forward.

Ouch. Luongo refusing to waive NTC to join #Leafs

What a tool.

I hate it when people take April Fools jokes too far, like kids or co-workers or your favorite team's GM saying he still wants a new goalie.
 
Yeah, except Reimer can't stay healthy and hasn't shown that you can rely on him.

Scrivens is shaky as hell and the Leafs play like a completely different team in front of him. Improving on Scrivens and adding some insurance for Reimer is hardly a bad thing. Doesn't mean he is going to give up tons of assets and lock into a guy for 10 years.

Thats fair, but Kipper stinks.
 
Jonas Siegel Nonis on experience in goal: "...having someone there that can help in the event that we need him, I think it just makes sense for us."


That isn't "we badly need a number one goalie."

I'd actually lose a lot of faith in Nonis if he trades for a player like Kipper or trades assets for Luongo.

I would very strongly disagree with trading for Luongo, but I at least understand the rationale behind the move.

A trade for Kipper, on the other hand, I'd view as a fire-able offense.

I hate even the idea of it. Too much temptation to go with the "experienced" guy any time the "young" guy stumbles in the slightest.

And our backup has been great anyways.
 
The Leafs can't win with the backup in net. Not too comfortable with him in the #2 slot moving forward. He is far too jittery in net, with poor rebound control. When Reimer is in there his calmness is infectous. Same for Scrivens style of play.

The main point pretty much.


As for Kipper sucking or whatever, the guy is one of the winningest goalies since 2005...On the ****ing Calgary Flames.
 
Can anyone name a backup goaltender better than Ben Scrivens in recent Leaf history? He's given us a chance to win every game he's played except one stinker near the beginning of the year.

Don't think we'd be able to say the same about Kipper or any of the other crappy veteran flotsam and jetsam that'd be floating around on the trade market right now.
 
Scrivens is fine as a backup if you have a starter you can rely on to carry the load. The Leafs aren't sure they have that. And Scrivens showed when Reimer went down he is not starter material.

Nonis is stating pretty clearly, he believes in the team and he wants to win.
 
The Leafs have one of the best starting goalies this year and one of the best back-ups.

This city is clueless when it comes to goaltending. When they suck, they get praised, when they're good, we need to bring in another guy. So stupid...
 
It makes me sick to my stomach that the first year they actually get smart with their goaltending, and reap rewards for it, they might go **** it all up right before the games really start to count.

Well, that's fine and dandy, but if Nonis thinks any of the vet goalies available (besides Luongo---who we shouldn't go after either for a myriad of reasons) would possibly give us a better chance at winning...then he's an idiot.
 
If the Leafs had a more reliable backup than Scrivens they may not have faultered when Reimer went down and would be competing for home ice now. Maybe the division.
