Jets vs. Leafs: Let's try this again.

In other news, Ron Wilson is going a little crazy:
"Right now, I think the Monster gives us as good a chance to win (as James Reimer does)," coach Ron Wilson said after Leafs' practice on Wednesday.
"As long as he is winning, he is going to keep playing. If Reims goes in there and he gets hot, he is going to play. We need to win games."
As per James Mirtle, expect the Leafs' lines to look just as they did against Tampa. As a side note, doesn't it feel nice to have some actual depth to this team? The Leafs have several players that can now (more or less adequately) fill the third line center position. Matthew Lombardi seems the most likely candidate tonight, but it wouldn't be terrible to throw Nazem Kadri in there in a pinch. Oh, and then of course, there's David Steckel, who has been a third and fourth line tweener all year because of his skill on the dot.
Although it's already been pointed out, the Jets are coming off a 7-3 loss, and the Leafs are coming off a 7-3 win. This might have some people worried, but the truth is, teams that get blown out don't actually come back and win with any greater frequency than normal. In fact, given the Jets' poor road record (5-9-4), and the Leafs' relatively good home record (9-5-4), I'd give the Buds the edge in this one.
Go Leafs Go!

Hey, anyone of you stats guys know where i could get a timeline of every shot that happens in a game + the time that is happened at? I’ve been looking around but am not good with stats so I don’t think I’m looking in the right place.

Gustavsson getting the start on the basis of a 3-goal, .875 evening is dumb.

Using save % on a per game basis is not really a good method. Gus played well last game. He deserves to start

Is it really any dumber than saying ‘Gustavsson gives us just as good a chance to win as Reimer’ based on one start?
Not followin' @JPNikota on Twitter? Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'.
Absolutely not, I agree. However, Gustavsson won his last start, Reimer lost his last 3. Gotta give Gustavsson the start this game.

Wins
aren’t a predictor of future success for a goaltender – ES SV% is and Reimer’s is better than Gustavsson’s.
Reimer losing 3 games in a row doesn’t mean much. He was better in his last 2 starts (62 of 69 = .899) than Gus was in his last 2 (52 of 60 = .867).
Btw both have been crappy recently.

I haven't been to a game in like 2 years but
Everytime i’ve gone to a leafs game they have won (about 5 or 6 times) except one game where it ended in a tie. Only reason it was a tie though was because a goal got called back cause Clark had his foot in the crease.
I need to go to more. I’m broke though!
If you live in the city
You should take a look on craigslist or kijiji in the afternoons of a game day on a Monday or Tuesday.
A lot of people never think to look for tickets cause all of the games are sold out, but for most Monday & Tuesday games (especially against shitty opponents) scalpers have an influx of unsold tickets
I went to 4 or 5 games last year and ended up getting tickets an hour or two before the game by calling those scalpers and getting priced at below cost for a pair.

Can someone give me a logical explanation for this?
For the 5th & 6th games of the season, Wilson played Reimer in the first game of a back-to-back against Winnipeg, and then played Gustavsson against Boston. Toronto scraped out a win over the Jets and got crushed by Boston. Several people argued this was not the correct approach because they effectively hung Gus out to dry against a better team.
Tonight the Leafs play the Jets and Gustavsson starts. On Saturday they play Detroit and I’d wager Reimer gets the Red Wings game. Other than the day of rest, this is the reverse of the situation earlier in the season, but now somehow this is wrong too?
I don’t get it. Do you play the backup against the lesser team and keep your best fresh for the tougher matchup, or do you go 100% after the winnable game against a fellow playoff bubble team?

I listen to Fan 590
and they reported that Willson stated that Gus will be in net until he loses.It was also peported that the leafs are casually looking at goalies , Maybe this is just to showcase Gus abit.
Might the logical explanation be that Ron Wilson is doing exactly what he's saying he's doing?
And going with the hot goalie.
Gus won his last game and has been playing decent lately. Reimer has lost his last three games.
I disagree with a lot of people that say Reimer should be starting tonight. Gus has been playing well enough to at least be given the opportunity to continue until he loses.

Clutchiness
Who did the clutchiness analysis last season? We need to correlate it with wins.
I think clutchiness was save percentage in last 10 minutes and OT when leading/trailing by 1 or tied. Reimer was the clutchiest in the league last season if I remember correctly.
I'm building a beautiful statue, to make sure that no one forgets you
So Gus makes the big saves, but can’t stop the easy ones? Makes perfect sense.
