I was listening to the Leafs Report Podcast, and Mirtle commented on this today about what Bernier said to French reporters. (he didn't mention the article, or the paper so I can't find the exact paper - but I quoted this from the podcast:
That's the red flag on the play for me.
I get in a slump (and if it was a month long suck fest) you aren't going to be excited to play hockey all the time - but they aren't excited at all? I've been defending Carlyle a lot - but if this is from Bernier who has only been on the team for 9 weeks? Oi. There be trouble.
{also - nice little callout to the defense, Bernier}.
A big part of me wishes he had said this to English speaking papers though because that may be the spark that gets Nonis going (or at least Carlyle to try to right the ship)
"If you look at our games, we've been given up a lot of shots and at a certain point you can't have luck on your side all season. There will be highs and lows, and right now we have to find that little spark that we had at the beginning of the season, and be excited to come play hockey and find a way to score. If we give up four and let in five, that's what we had in the beginning of the season
That's the red flag on the play for me.
