briana Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 In an interview Francois Allaire stated that the problem with Toronto s goaltending last year was the fact that they put their faith in 2 rather inexperienced and young goalies. Even though Reimer was exceptional the previous year when Giguere was there, last year he just collapsed under the pressure. Vancouver would make the same mistake going with Schneider and Lack in nets. Who should we get as a backup then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbyte Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Roloson would be a good mentor if he is able and wants to play another year. Brent Johnson would be not bad either perhaps. Last year was a bit of a struggle where he went 6-7-2 but the 3 years before that he went 12-6-2 10-6-1 13-5-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. White Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Also I think that Schneider is mature enough that we don't need a veteran goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briana Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Theodore has stated he does not want to waive his no trade to come to Vancouver. He says he will retire in Florida at the end of thisa season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 roloson would be a horrible choice. its always better if there is someone pushing the starter not just a bench warmer. shnieds isn't a rookie he been around for a few years now, he had a great mentor. time is now for him to prove himself. maybe not a rookie back up but not a 40 year old one either.

D-Money Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The problem with Toronto was they put their faith in two young goalies who haven't had an experienced mentor for the last few years. On top of that, neither goalie was very good. Schneider is mature, composed, and has been groomed by Lu for a while now. On top of that, he's a friggin fantastic goaltender. He'll be fine. That said, I'd want a decent back-up goaltender in case Cory gets injured. If he's out for a few weeks in a shortened season, and Lack proves not to be ready, that could put us out of the playoffs.

briana Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Isn t Lack injured... His average 3.00 his save percentage is .899 not very good either stats for back up role to a goalie who has never played a full season as no. 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest Reimer wouldn't be a bad back-up goalie. He's easy-going, teammates love him, and he has enough skill to steal an odd game for your team (you don't get 3 SO's on the Laffs unless you can play). 1.8 cap hit is not bad either. I'd certainly prefer him over a washed-up dinosaur like Roloson or Turco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
