Did ANA make a mistake starting Bernier tonight?

How can you make a mistake when there isn't a choice to be made?

Beacuse there's fingers to be pointed.

Gibson was injured and you can't blame Bernier for any of those goals

Gibson would have played if he could have. The fact he sat out tells me Gibson would have been worse. It's heartbreaking as a Ducks fan, considering Anaheim dominated the game, but they went with the injury prone guy over Andersen. Oh well.

So whom of Lindholm or Rakell would you trade for Andersen? Gibson + Bernier was a 3.5 mil salary goalie tandem. Andersen + backup would be around 6.5-7 mil. Quite a difference.

While being a huge fan of Freddy to keep Gibby was the right decision for the franchise. And why he was considered as the next big thing? Well, look at his numbers and what he has won in juniors. He also was a wall in the AHL on a weak team. He may not be as good as Price but Gibby can become a top 5 goalie in this league.

Bernier is the better puck mover and rebound controller, and it showed when Anaheim completely dominated the possession stats.
