I recall telling BigTuna that the Leafs wouldn't make the playoffs last year in February, and that there early season performance was deceptive, look who was right on that one.
Then you also praised the efforts of Reimer, and yet the Leafs fell apart when he was in net. So which is it? Is Reimer just not close to starter material, or is he not in large part to blame for the Leafs missing the playoffs?
Oh and Bernier did play 55 games, which is right around the number of how much actual starters do play in a season, especially considering it took him a month or so to beat out Reimer for the starting job. The Leafs were pretty much out of it once he got hurt late in the year anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered who was in net.

No. Not even close.
It took Bernier awhile to become the #1 goalie because Reimer was playing so good in October and November.
