News about James Reimer

After getting ducked out of the way of the game-winning shot from the team's loss to the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, Detroit Red Wings goaltender James Reimer received scathing feedback from the team's fans. A pass from Drake Batherson to Tim Stutzle is deflected by a Red Wings defender during the NHL's 3-on-3 overtime period. With the puck bouncing on mid-air, Stutzle whacks it like he's a baseball player. Reimer, who largely avoids the arriving rubber, must have been concerned with the shot.

The Vancouver Canucks' annual Pride Night on Friday will feature a drag show before the game, according to the team's news on Thursday. According to the team, the 'Pride Party on the Plaza' would include 'Vancouver-based musicians Mx.Bukuru, Carrie Oki Doki, Xanax, and Jerrilynn Spears, while the team will sport Pride themed warmup jerseys created by a local artist.' In a press release, Michael Doyle, president of Canucks Sports & Entertainment, said, 'The opportunity to commemorate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community is very important to our whole organization.'

James Reimer, the San Jose Sharks' goalie, would not participate in pregame warmups on Saturday night, claiming that the team's decision to wear Pride-themed jerseys in favor of the LGBTQ community runs contrary to his religious convictions. In a tweet on Saturday, Reimer said he made the call based on his Christian convictions and that members of the LGBTQ community should be welcomed in hockey. 'The San Jose Sharks have chosen to wear jerseys in favor of the LGBTQIA+ community tonight,' Reimer said, under the banner of the NHL's Hockey is for Everyone campaign.'
