Hopefully Naz gets more ice time than first 2 games
Gardiner back? I hope so
I guaranteed fact I can assure you: Nazem Kadri will not be playing a lot if we have the lead. He will be getting icetime if we are chasing a team though.
I hope not. He hasn't done much to earn the next start IMHO...
2 games, 3 goals against, no softies, and has been playing during the lockout. Don't see any reason why you would think Reimer has earned it by sitting on the bench after having a bad camp.

I didn't say Reimer earned the start. I said Scrivens didn't earn the next one. A couple of the goals against were saveable IMHO. His rebound control hasn't been all that great either. After allowing 2 goals in 7 shots, and only posting a .900 save percentage last night, I don't know how you can say he earned this next one...
That said, as someone previously posted. It MAY make more sense to give Reimer the start at home against the easier opponent.

2 goals on 20 shots. Comical to look at a save percentage for ONE game. Why don't you look at two games? .929 isn't so bad.

He has allowed 3 goals. One was a massive deflection, one was a breakaway, and one was people banging away infront of the net, with our captain putting his stick on Gionta's ass instead of keeping it on ice.
How do those seem like savable situations to you? If you saw yesterdays game, you will realize that .900 doesn't reflect how he played. He made some key saves in the third, and kept us in the game for a good 5-10 mins in the end, when we went a little easy on our defensive assignments.
He has shown absolutely no reason for us to consider sitting him.

I'm not just looking at save percentage. It's just a point. Fact is, the Leafs have limited scoring chances from both of their opponents, with most of the shots coming from the perimiter. Scriven's rebound control against Montreal was HORRIBLE. The leafs limited Montreal to scoring chances. Thats why only 1 goal was allowed then, and IIRC, that goal was a result from poor rebound control.
