This won't be the 200th game he's started - it'll be his 181st - but it will be the 200th time [James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) takes to NHL ice. Originally drafted by the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) 99th overall in the 2006 [NHL entry draft](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl-draft?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- and without many notable names after him (although the Leafs also drafted [Leo Komarov](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/156612/leo-komarov?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) 180th overall the same year!) - it's been a wild ride for the 27-year-old.

The Leafs are the only organization Reimer has ever known, and as he was acquired in 2006, technically, no other Leaf has been with the organization longer. And it's been a really exciting time since he made his NHL debut in the 2010-11 season! As a 22-year-old posting a .921 save percentage, there was a lot to look forward to as he took over the starter's role. I mean... remember this?

That was almost five years ago? Good lord, how memes fly.

Reimer only matched that .921 save percentage once in the ensuing years, posting a .924 in 2012-13 as he helped lead the Leafs back into the playoffs (where he posted a .923 save percentage against the [Boston Bruins](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/boston-bruins?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) over seven games, and that's all we have to say about that).

At least until this season: over 24 games thus far, he's at .932 for his best year yet. He'll be an unrestricted free agent after this season, so that's pretty good timing for him.

[The Leafs also interviewed Reimer on his 200th game:](http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=806973&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#200)

It has been a good run so far. I remember that first game, I don't know if I came in with six or eight or 10 minutes left, I'm not quite sure but it was pretty nerve-wracking for that one. It has been a good couple of years here and it's pretty cool to hit 200.

Good luck tonight, James!
