Right.lots of things make me horny!
Ok Roald. Settle down.lots of things make me horny!
.914, .886 (OT goal dropped it from .909), and .920 over the final three games.I wouldn't have played a struggling Fleury for 5 games either. That's the point of having 2 guys who are average or better, if one shits the bed, play the other one. It's way better than riding Jack to an 880 across the final 4 games of the series, or Fleury to similar over the final 3 games of Minnesota's series.
There is alot of nonsense speculation disguised as confident fact to unpack here.As for Reimer, I always liked the guy, and think we fucked him by bringing in that shitstain Bernier. But Toronto has a way of breaking some players, especially goalies, and I don't think I'd bank on Reimer not getting mentally smashed as soon as he ran into some trouble here. The ghosts of that Game 7 probably still haunt him to this day. Last thing I want is turning to him if we needed to in an elimination game.
Also, bringing in Reimer to compete with Jack for time will fuck with Jack's head just like Bernier did with Reimer's. Just not a fan of the 1a 1b and don't think I ever will be.

I just buy into the #1 starter philosophy and think it's a fool's errand to get two guys and have them split. Do that and you ALWAYS have $4M-$4.5M sitting at the end of the bench wearing a baseball cap for 82 games plus playoffs. If your starter falters, you're done.
Reimer is almost the definition of solid 1BReimer had a .918 the day Toronto traded him to SJ.
He was fine.
I say that as someone who was wrong about him at the time and felt it was time to move on.
The problem is LOF thinks Campbell IS s true starter. Which is absurd for health and performance reasons.Then the only rational course of action is to literally pay any price necessary to get a top starter. A true starter. If your entire philosophy accepts that you require your starter to play well in the playoffs for you to have any chance, betting your season on the Jack Campbell's of the world is the height of insanity.
I'm not deciding anything, I was just speaking to your comment about "riding his .880". Again, sounds a lot worse than it really was.Again though, arbitrarily deciding which games/situations are important and which aren't in a 7 game playoff series is kind of bullshit. It's all important.
If you live in a cap-free world, where you can just sign the best goalie and pay him whatever, that's a good plan.Then the only rational course of action is to literally pay any price necessary to get a top starter. A true starter.

First part correct, second part incorrect.The problem is LOF thinks Campbell IS s true starter. Which is absurd for health and performance reasons.
Nope.First part correct, second part incorrect.
He is a true starter. By every definition. He's not Vasy level, but neither are 30 other starters.
I think that about any goalie, not just Jack. I don't like the idea of adding a competitor for the goalie, just a backup. That's why I hated the Bernier add at the time. Hated that they tried to get Kiprusoff before that at the deadline. Goalie is the most mentally fragile position. I want to cover them with a nice warm blanket.Nope.
There are probably like 5 true starters in the NHL which is why so many teams use the 1A and 1B approach which you fundamentally do not understand.
Getting a Mrazek was a good idea that was poorly executed. Even if you believe Jack has the talent to be included in that group of 5 or so ( he doesn't) he certainly isn't durable enough. For fuck sakes you are legit worried that adding James Reimer might affect his feelings enough to not play well.
If there was a graph to indicate confidence and wrong on either axis, you would be in the out of this world stratosphere top righthand cornerI think that about any goalie, not just Jack.

And no, there are only a handful of elite starters. The rest are still starters.
Wasnt he more or less hurt or unplayable in December/January?I mean, you do realize that in what was considered an up and down year for him, Jack went 31-9 with a .914, right?
And 17-3 with a .921 last year, right? Not to mention a .934 in the playoffs.
