[Reimer Overcomes Illness, Guides Leafs to Victory](http://www.640toronto.com/Blogs/EatSleepLeafs/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10208183&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

> Battling through an early bout of indigestion, Reimer came up huge for the Leafs on Tuesday night, making 28 saves en route to a 2-1 victory over the previously red-hot [New York Islanders](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-york-islanders?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). [Phil Kessel](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54905/phil-kessel?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) may have potted the game-winner—a blistering shot past [Al Montoya](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54626/al-montoya?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)—but it was the theatrics of Reimer late in the third that earned the Leafs their seventh victory in eleven games since the All-Star break (7-2-2) and pulled them to within six points of the final playoff spot in the East.
> 
> But it nearly didn’t go that far the 22-year-old. Admittedly feeling "great" all day, Reimer began sensing trouble late in the first period of the eventual one-goal win. "My stomach was just flip-flopping," he explained, "and I thought 'Jeez I might not be able to finish this one today'."
> 
> As the stomach swirling intensified, Reimer decided it best to notify Leafs head athletic therapist Andy Playter of his woes, also informing backup [Ben Scrivens](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/111745/ben-scrivens?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to be ready in case, well, the inevitable finally arose. There were near moments of disaster.
> 
> "I think \[Michael\] Grabner was coming down when they had a powerplay and I was like kind of dry heaving," recalled Reimer with a smile. "I was like ‘Oh, please don’t shoot’ (laughs). It was tough, but went and saw \[the doctor\] in between the periods, had some magic medicine and felt better towards the end of the second."

Reimer ain't got time to puke. More links after the jump.
