I really believe there are many who are thrilled with that goal. Some have been against Bernier taking Reimer's job from the start because, hey, Reimer's such an "aw shucks" nice guy, nevermind Reimer's role in last year's collapse and Bernier's superior technical abilities (Bad timing for that one aside...).
Bernier goes on a stretch of three or four great games, and all you hear is complaining that Reimer didn't get a fair shake.
At this point I hope they just give the job to Reimer now and trade Bernier so we can talk about something else.
Like how Carlyle is dumb, perhaps.
Well you know he was kind of bad last game (so was the whole team but still), and the fair thing to do for two goalies who've both had good stats would be to alternate.
If they lose tonight, the loss is completely on Bernier IMO (3 bad goals). If Reimer plays badly then, by all means go back to Bernier, but Reimer did get the team to the playoffs last year and he's put up pretty good numbers this year.
Not sure why Bernier should get special treatment after 2 bad games (or why you'd be against going back to Reimer). Superior technical abilities have not been evident over the last 5 periods games.
