Well, what they've told us is that the last couple games have been more a matter of not being quite back to top form than anything else. Like concussions, whiplash is one of those things where it's hard to judge when exactly a player will be ready to come back from it.

Shannahan's suit was at the dry cleaners that day so he couldnt make a boring video.

I have been suffering from Whiplash since the Tuesday after Aug long weekend when I was in a car accident, I get slight headaches once in a while, but the neck pain is always there and some days when i wake up it takes a long time to get out of bed.

mirtle: The Reimer update wasn't much of an update. Wilson called it an upper body injury and said the trainers wanted him to workout off the ice.

Honestly, I don't think Wilson can make a bad call here either way. As a side, if Gus can't handle his coach rewarding a kid for good play, then to freakin' bad but I haven't seen anything to suggest Gus would sulk about that.

You go with Gus on Sat. If he struggles then you can go to Scrivens for a few games.
Reimer remains out
JAMES MIRTLE
The strange situation got a little odder when Wilson would characterize the injury as only an "upper-body injury" on Friday.
"He kind of hit a plateau in his recovery so the trainers decided not to ask him to go on the ice," Wilson said. "With the other two goalies playing well, if he's not going to face a lot of shots [in practice] it's better for him to just workout off the ice.
"I'm just coaching the next game. I'm not concerned about that. I'm not a doctor or a trainer. We've got healthy guys and they're doing the job so we'll give James plenty of time to recover. There's no rush to get him back."
Wilson also wouldn't reveal who will start for the Leafs on Saturday against the Boston Bruins. The Leafs got a standout performance from third-stringer Ben Scrivens in his NHL debut in a 4-1 win in Columbus on Thursday, but Jonas Gustavsson has also been capable of late.
"I don't know," Wilson said. "We haven't decided."
This might go on for a while ...

Hey, as long as we keep winning, I could care or less who's in net. I just wish Reimer a speedy recovery.

I tend to agree to this but Gus won his last game also and against a way more capable opponent.

That and the fact that he was the slowest player on the planet causing him to be a huge liability defensively.
