TSN Radio Dreger: Jonathan Bernier could play himself onto 2014 Olympic team.
- Thread starter McMatthews
- Start date
He only looked good because of the Leafs amazing defence, apparently. Since Bernier is so much better, I expect annual Vezina's for Bernier.
"Powerful"
Lol
Doesn't he need an invitation? Wasn't he not on the original invite list?
Am I dreaming this?

But then, three of them are cup winners and Luongo won the gold, so that's kind of important too?
Holtby is in a pretty similar position in his career...
Smith and Price, probably too late though...

We have two great young Goal Tenders and I think either one, or both, should be able to become a candidate, to play for Canada.
We are in a good position to make some noise this year and our Goal Tending, will be front and center, in the play-offs.

Fully agree^^^. I cant believe leafs fans. Bernier have alot of upside but guys he still gotta prove it. Reimer have proved himself as a number 1 goaltender for now so dont take credit away from him for his outstanding performance last season.
Reimer and many others could play their way on the team as well. Not really sure where Dreger is going with this. The goalies listed above and Reimer have all proven more than Bernier (possible exceltion to Holtby).

I'd be shocked if Bernier made the team. If they want a young guy to take the 3rd spot, Holtby would be the obvious choice IMO.
In terms of the young goalies with (relatively) small sample sizes, he's consistently played at a higher level than the others (Reimer/Dubnyk/Bernier/etc as the other options).

The 3rd goalie on Team Canada is not expected to play and so it can be a young player that gains from the experience of being around the team. The concept behind a young goalie is grooming him for 2018 Olympics.
Bernier has been a part of the program of excellence as a member of Canada throughout his career representing his country proudly at U-18, WJC and World Championships & Spengler Cup in the past tournaments with winning results. The Olympics would be the next big international tournament on that path representing his Country. A player that comes up through the program always have the eye of selection committees.
So its really not that big a stretch or surprise that he could get some consideration for 2014 based on his past resume.

Help is on the way.
I agree with the posters who posted that Bernier has always been on Team Canada's radar and Canada will likely go with a young goalie as their number 3 unless they have no confidence in the top two they select.
If the same report was about Riemer....people on here would be wildly projecting him into the starters role....but because it is Bernier these same people think it is some kind of slight against Riemer.

Good Evening MrFrost
No offence to Reimer lovers, but the fact his name isn't even mentioned in the mix tells us all we need to about relying on blanket stats to make an argument. Hockey people don't seem to see him as a top flight guy-once again save percentage isn't the only story- which also explains why Nonis STILL went after Bernier even with Reimer's "stats".

Offered and lost
Would be neat to see; that's for sure. But it's not likely to happen IMO.
But I am starting to get annoyed by the people that hate on Bernier because their feelings are hurt for Reimer. The team is better with our new goaltending tandem and that's what matters the most.

Consider the source then consider the agenda. Quite possible it isn't Bernier people are responding negatively to.....
Yep. It's amazing how the haters twist this one around to fit the situation.
