I think it's better for the team play as well. It's a back to back and naturally players are tired and *could* be less focused on the game given that:
a) they just won and have a good record
b) Columbus has a bad record so Leafs might take them lightly.
With Scrivens in net, the players might be more focused on details because they want to win one for the rookie. It's human nature, I say put Scrivens in and let's see what happens.

Seems like a perfect night to give Gus a break and Scrivens a turn. I don't get it but whatever...

Gus shutout, 3-0 Leafs with the PK killing off 5 penalties.
I just don't know why Gus is the only one that can play with Reimer hurt. The Monster is awful by all statistical measures. He is lucky the leafs score goals the way they do.
Seriously Ron Wilson, look at the numbers: 3.61 GAA .886 SV%. I can't imagine Scrivens would be this bad in 7 games. I get it, he is the backup and he has a contract, but the dude can't stop pucks well, has terrible positioning and gives up juicy rebounds.
Currently, The Monster is a very below average goaltender, and it seems like it would take a lot of work to get him to improve. He has no idea where the post is once he leaves the crease.

I agree. Gus makes amazing desperation saves and pretty much any saves that require abilities like reflexes but when it comes to being Allaire-like shot blocker he is totally lost. He hasn't gotten better at it since he came. In fact, he has gotten worse.

from TSN Ice Chips-
'G James Reimer took the morning skate in Columbus along with G Ben Scrivens, D Luke Schenn, D Cody Franson, F Jay Rosehill and F Colton Orr. - TSN '
Is that an indication that Schenn might be scratched in favour of Franson?

It seems that you know me well enough.
I do not know how to be a half way fan. Last year I had some serious things going on in my life and hockey was not even in the top 100 of things that mattered to me so I hardly watched a single minute all year long. But by the playoffs I was back on track in life and I watched all the playoff games - so no Leafs of course.
For this year I do find myself obsessing in my usual ways. I have been to 3 games so far, I watch every single minute of the game (even record the ones I go to) and I want so much to be excited about this team and enjoy a nice playoff drive.... but I am not willing to buy it just yet. You are quite right Joe, I find it easier to be down on them and then be surprised when it goes the other way. Funny how being a Leafs fan for too long can do that to ya.
