it will happen with regularity when he is no longer on the Coyotes.... I could have seen him signing in Toronto but Reimer had such a good season/playoffs he has earned the right to have another season to prove it wasnt fluke.

Apparently, regular unleaded hockey is all that is required to beat the Russians these days.

Suisse beat the Czech Republic 2-1. What a tourney for them considering they finished in 11th place last year.

Edit: Martin 'Darth' Gerber was between the pipes for Suisse today.
