Reimer playing incredibly well tonight. He's a weird goalie to figure out. One of the best backup goalies in the game, but put him in a starter's role, he'll peter out after 10 games and look absolutely terrible. Is it as simple as conditioning with him? No idea. I'm sure Leafs fans have an opinion.
Yep. Reimer is too good to be a backup but not consistent enough to be a starter. Perfect guy for the Panthers though with old man Lou as your starter.
I like Reimer though. Reimer, Kessel and Phaneuf are the good guys that have left this team from the dark days.

BTW, Backes was ejected in this game for a high hit on Trocheck, and was immediately challenged to a fight by Matheson (who is not a particularly tough guy).
I have to agree with the Boston broadcast crew, that hit wasn't really on Backes at all. Trocheck was hit from the front, and the initial point of contact was sort of the chest/shoulder. Some head contact involved obviously. Not really a blindside hit IMO.
However, Backes may face a suspension since he was given a match penalty. Thoughts?

The Backes hit was similar to the Hornqvist hit to McAvoy (that one did look worse as it was face/head and Mcavoy leaked blood from his nose) Hornqvist got absolutely nothing . Backes with a major penalty and a possible NHL Player Safety review? What a ####ing joke.
MacKinnon with 2g 1a tonight now up to 85 points and in 4 th in league scoring. 1 less point than Mcdavid in 8 fewer games. He has to the unbiased Hart leader at this point
