Leafs GM Brian Burke said that James Reimer doesn't have a concussion, but he is being treated for "concussion-like symptoms."
"There's a rating system they use and he rated very low in all areas as to if it is a concussion or not. We're not sure if it's whiplash related," Burke said. "It's not (a concussion) and if it were, we'd say that. It's not like we're trying to be evasive here. We are evasive when we need to be; when we don't want a player to get targeted. To this point the doctors have not told me one time it's a concussion." We take this to mean that things are not as bad as they could be, but it remains to be seen how long Reimer will be out. We'll keep a close eye on this situation.
