    Default Down to the Nitty gritty: Pick up Emery or Reimer?

    League semi-finals and its tight...

    over the next three nights I have 5 potential goalie starts, my opponent has a maximum of two.

    I have one spot open tomorrow for a starting goalie. I have two choices: Emery vs Boston or Reimer vs Winnipeg?

    not a great situation either way, but if I can steal a category win on the shear number of starts and maybe win the save %. I'm leaning towards Emery, but Boston terrifies me.

    Wow pretty scary situation.. I would probably go Emery as well, he had a good game his last start, and I would feel more comfortable with him in terms of GAA and SV%..

    But Reimer when he is on, he's just as good.

    Boston is definitely a tough matchup. They are 3rd in the league for goals for, and have the best goal differential sitting at +81. Even tho Reimer has been pretty bad lately, I think i'm leaning towards Reimer on this one.

    Think I will go Reimer on this one - Leafs need to win - Jets out of it now.
    Boston is tough and I am an Emery owner.

    If your payoff hopes hinge on James Reimer and the Leafs, may god help you. As scary as Boston can be, I'd take Emery here. He's been very steady and looked great against Stl, losing 1-0 in a SO. Philly has also been safe lately, and have been playing good hockey. If I had to, I'd bet my season on Emery and the Flyers before I did on Reimer and the Leafs. Winnipeg isn't great, but they can put the puck in the net.

    Another thing to consider is that this is an early afternoon game, which often turn into sleepy/lack-luster affairs. This time of year that will likely change, and I haven't looked at the numbers, but I'm pretty sure that early games tend to be lower scoring.

    Thanks for all of your input.

    I've looked at everything I can, including Corsi for, Corsi against. I'm just torn between the two. I have till noon tomorrow to figure it out.

    I go Reimer here. Leafs need wins, Reimer needs to play well. Backs against the wall, I think Reimer will surprise you.

    My hand was forced a bit. I picked up Raanta against Columbus after I found out he was starting over Crawford. Access me a bit as I am at my roster move limit now and will only be able to Get 5 goalie starts in.

    Raanta helped out in the win category, but not so much in the save %. Game is much closer now in scoring cats so hopefully this move pots me into the finals.
