A former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie known for his loss in what remains among the most (if not the most) brutal playoff losses in team history is now back with the team. The Leafs announced on Friday that veteran goaltender James Reimer had been taken on for a professional tryout deal, or PTO. However, it was Reimer's seven appearances in a heartbreaking 2013 first-round playoff series between the Leafs and Bruins that cemented the goalie's legacy among fans. It was the only playoff series Reimer would play in a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. In 2016, Reimer was dealt to the San Jose Sharks, and has bounced around the league ever since, across seven teams in a 15-season career.
