However at 3-3 I was wondering, had we lost the game from 3-0 up, would Reimer have started the next game, cos even at that point I felt Gus had been one of our better players. As it was he made a couple of huge saves right at the end to preserve the win.
L K said:Reimer needs one of the next three starts. I'm thinking the second game against Buffalo on Friday so that you can go Gus-Reimer-Gus. Jonas deserves the starts right now but you don't want to ride him too hard and burn him out and it doesn't do any good to have Reimer sit on the bench for a month between starts like they were doing to Gus.
Agreed. IMHO, the 'robotic positional play' initially hurt his game but he's taken something from it.We_Miss_Sundin said:In my opinion we see Gus play his best when he allows his game to stray slightly from the "Allaire" style of goaltending. When he isn't relying solely on the robotic positional play we can see that there is more fluidity to his game and he is not afraid to go for the diving poke check (for example)

And this is a great problem. ;D

There is no reason why Gus couldn't play 7 or 8 in a row.

L K said:I want to know if Allaire is the guy getting his goalies to do the swinging poke-check behind the net though. Reimer did it a time or two earlier in the year and it was funny to see a goalie do it for the first time since the 70s, but Gustavsson is doing it pretty much every other game now. I don't remember him doing that last year.

Yeah I noticed that too. I saw it as a good sign of his confidence.
