Jonathan Bernier was the first goalie off the ice at practice, suggesting that he could start Friday with James Reimer to follow Saturday

Oh, I bet you're happy. You got your wish.

^ Carlyle has to get his fourth line playing 10-12 minutes over these next two games to ensure the top lines stay rested

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Being back to back games, it is fair Bernier is getting in on Friday, good to see Reimer get the higher profile Saturday night game. Reward for his 2 game winning streak no doubt.

No doubt

The #3rd line was averaging just 13mins minus PP or PK time. Not sure if this will be a good thing.

Or maybe the coach noticed Bernier number on Saturday and choose to start him on Friday...? Don't you think it's odd Reimer doesn't get to start the first game of back to back when he's played well this year?

 

[Paradoc]

Happy both are starting? I knew Bernier was going to start one of two anyways so I wouldn't say that I got my wish.

Nope, nothing odd about it at all.

They were splitting these games even had Bernier hypothetically won 2 games, and Reimer lost 2 games(roles reversed) Reimer getting Saturday night(HNIC game) is usually reserved to the Goalie that has the edge right now.

Typically the #1 Goalie would get the Home Game on a back to back.

Were you not the one that said we shouldn't touch the "winning formula"? It's great that Reimer is getting HNIC but I also believe the management did their homework and checked Bernier's numbers in Saturday's game and made their decision accordingly.

geeze

who cares how they split the games

makes no difference

I would have played Reimer until we lost, but I am not the coach, it doesn't mean I do not understand why RC is splitting games. If you do not start Bernier in one of these 2 games, you may lose him as a coach. Seriously you are reading way too much into this. Reimer gets the marquee game on Saturday, RC went back to him on Tues. There is no doubt who RC believes is playing better at the moment, stats wise and eye test wise.

What a coincidence! Bernier is a number one goalie and is playing the home game.

 

[Duke Silver]

Free box seats to Friday's game? Don't mind if I do.

I own an entire box at the ACC and I just leave it empty cause I like watching from the comfort of my home.

I'm sure Randy does but he knows from experiences (last season) who to depend on when things are getting tough. Randy making the right decision by letting Bernier play in the home crowd and letting Reimer play on HNIC.

Not surprised at all.

Roadhouse?

 

[TheThrill81*]

He wishes he could be James Dalton.

Its just Dalton

And I had a great time making that film.

Komarov has to be the most interesting man in the world, or at least the NHL.

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters
What stands out to Bernier about Komarov? "Just the way he talks, I guess, & has chew in his mouth 24 hours (laughs)."

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters
Kadri on Komarov: "He’s always coming up with new stories"; Leo spent time in Finnish military & has some good tales to tell

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters
What has Mike Santorelli learned from sitting beside Komarov in dressing room? "A few things that I don’t know I want to say on camera"

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters
Franson says Komarov is full of surprises: "We go on the road & we’re going out & he's in the lobby playing the piano."

So glad we signed this dude back...seems like a guy that just keeps shining and keeps the locker light but at the same time very serious when he's on the ice.

If we're going to make the playoffs ahead of Detroit, we need the sweep this weekend!

Any chance at getting free tickets to your box for a couple of Leaf games?

He was the best guy on the ice Tuesday. Watching this guy live is an experience.
