James Reimer has been a solid goalkeeping for the Leafs over the last 2 weeks with a 3-1 record with a 1.90 GAA along with 0.945 saving% and his solid play has gained the confidence of the Maple Leaf players who are helping out more on defense. Now with Jean-Sebastien Giguere playing on Thursday against the Phoenix Coyotes and Leafs head coach Ron Wilson has said that James Reimer will be sent back to the AHL when Giquere comes off of IR. This will be a bad move because James Reimer is better than both J.S. (8-7-2 with a 2.80 GAA and a .894 saving%) and Jonas (6-12-2 with a 3.13 GAA and a .896 saving%) have been this season but as soon as the Leafs trade J.S. he will be back and will probably be the starting goalie for the rest of the season.
It looks like Sidney Crosby got a concussion during the Winter Classic and then he got another concussion in the next game against the Tampa Bay which was a hit into the boards and now the Pittsburgh Penguins coaching staff will have to keep a very close eye on Crosby for the rest of the season. With half a season left before the playoffs begin they will not rush Crosby back into the line-up because they are a safe bet to make the playoffs especially if Malkin gets back to being a good player in the second half of the season.
The nhl have turned their all-star game into a backyard game with there being two captains and they go through the list of the all-star reps and go back and forth picking players until the last player picked. So you could have team-mates on opposite teams and maybe for the first time in nhl that the Sedin twins will be on opposite teams while it will be interesting who each team captain and see who has the better team. It would be better if the all-star is outside as the game does not mean anything as it is an exbition and nobody takes it seriously and they should not take it seriously because it is a showcase of the talent the nhl has but they will move the all-star game away from a place like Carolina to make it work.
