I don't know if Carolina knows this but among goalies who've played any real time in the league this year James Reimer is 2nd in SV%, 6th in GAA and, if my sources are correct, is made out of delicious, delicious gum drops

 

[Crucialness Key]

Ah I so love these game day threads 

 

[Highlander]

James Reimer is actually made out of Lollipops and Puppy Dog Tails

 

[Zee]

Versteeg, totally forgot about that guy.

Guaranteed loss night! 

What is this power that the Canes have over our Leafs?  ???

McClement.

The Canes have had our number long before McClement joined them.

I hear Carolina needs goaltending. ;D

I heard they may or may not want to give up Skinner.

Ahh yes, but before Mr. McClement there was

So best case scenario:

1 - 0 loss in a shootout where Reimer stops 42 shots.

Arn saw him score.

Confirmed that Leivo's sitting again. Really don't see what Clune's done (at either level) to deserve a spot instead of him.

He did drugs.  And then stopped. That apparently entitles him to opportunities that others do not get.

I don't disagree but it's not like anything I've seen from Leivo makes me think he shouldn't be rotating in and out of the lineup for the time being.

Simple: Clune is the future.  Your future.

Yeah. It's a small sample size this season, but, overall? Leivo hasn't exactly been impressive in his NHL stints. He may turn into something - he has some offensive skills - but, if he's not getting top 6 minutes, he's not particularly useful.
