Revs backup back in goal: Reis in for hobbled Brown - Boston Herald The Revs are just the walking wounded at this point. Joseph should be wearing a face mask for his broken nose. Kamler and his busted up grill, maybe he'll sport some kind of mouth guard. Heaps has nine stiches above his right eye, but he should be ready to go. Marshal Leanord has some sort of a knock. Brown is out with a hamstring problem. Oh, then there's Llamosa, Moore, and Pierce. Who else am I forgeting about, I know there's more. They're going to be pulling the U-16 Pembroke Flyers out of the stands for this one if it starts to get ugly.
