Must have decided to play Reimer at some point earlier today.When did that change?
Around noon, it was all over the tweety box.When did that change?
Oh Boy are you ever off baseGame day. Boston, Massachusetts.
Another tough one. The Leafs cannot beat the Bruins. A lot of it is in the heads of the Leafs, and it is not just their size and toughness. Other things factor in, in my opinion. The trade for example, Kessel is trying harder against the Bruins then he does vs any other team in the league.
If I could give Kessel a bit of advice it would be to just let it go. Do not think of Boston as the team that drafted you, but as just another stop on the 82 game schedule.
The game, Wilson should play the shit out of Franson, the guy needs to play without worrying about making a mistake.
Gustavsson starts tonight with Reimer(is back !) backing up.
The Leafs do not have to beat Boston, they just have to mentally survive then not worry about them again until March.
Buffalo would laugh at that offerLet's hope Reimer stays healthy so the Leafs can remain in playoff contention. Buffalo goaltender Miller for Kadri and 2nd round draft pick sounds like a good trade and throw in Gustavsson before he suffers another heart breaking set back.

Kessel struggles against Boston, but not because its the team that traded him
Kessel struggles against Boston because every minute Kessel is on the ice, so is 6'9" Chara
Boston is a very tough, intimidating hockey team, that causes all kinds of turnovers and outworks thier opponent
I believe it's a Leaf gamble with a player who has just suffered a concussion. Buffalo has a history of cropping young goaltenders thru their organization and Kadri would be a steal if he decides to shape into form.Buffalo would laugh at that offer
I doubt Burke would insult his counterpart with an offer like that
I think Reimer could have used at least one mulligan. 3rd goal on the short side looked weak and I think there was another one from long range that got by him.Boston showed us why they were the Stanley Cup champs...
At least Reimer looked sharp...
the boychuk goal was a 90 mile per hour slap shot so riemer couldnt see it if he did the rebound would come out into the slot areaI think Reimer could have used at least one mulligan. 3rd goal on the short side looked weak and I think there was another one from long range that got by him.
Having said that, Boston looked very strong at both ends of the ice. Just because the champs keep kicking their ass doesn't mean they haven't improved a lot from last year and have a pretty good chance to make the playoffs. They just gotta keep winning their share against the other teams and avoid the prolonged slumps.

Yes, just keep winning and playing well against other teams. Get their share of wins as they have to this point and it will take care of itself.I think Reimer could have used at least one mulligan. 3rd goal on the short side looked weak and I think there was another one from long range that got by him.

Yes I was watching the game and I observed Chara in Kessels face all night long.You are entitled to your opinion.
Kessel was able to get on the ice several times without Chara in the third last night. Were you watching the game ? I have seen him on the ice a few times without Chara in the games against Boston.
Last night on a two on one with Lupul, Kessel had the puck and held on to it until he only had a low percentage shot. He could not decide what to do, not the way snipers think. In my opinion he is trying too hard against them.
Let's not forget the Leafs still have something like 6 players on the injured list.
Isn't Orr still hurt? Of course, Reimer and Grabosky(sp) just came back. (I did say "something like 6".)Brown Armstrong Lombardi Komisarek...... who am I missing?

That is true , however even with those players available, the leafs would still not be able to compete vs. the BruinsLet's not forget the Leafs still have something like 6 players on the injured list.
