It's not like they are a desperate team right now in a playoff chase, they rather roll over, take a beating and wait for the season to end. Pulling Reimer (who had zero support all night and wasn't really at fault for any goal) wouldn't have changed anything for them.

Very true, but even on back to backs with travel Hartley has pulled the goalie and managed to win, so I dont figure thats a good enough excuse.
At the end of the day they rolled over and died and, as is evidenced 3 hours north, that mentality is tough to shake.
