Haha elite goalies play 70 games a season and win a vezina. Bernier has yet to do both.
Lets just see if he can handle 70 games a season, I dont think he does. I see 60 in him tops.
Elite for me is something that has to be demonstrated with consistency across a number of seasons.
It may be harsh, but I've seen too many flash-in-the-pan performances (Raycroft, Carey, Mason, etc.) to apply the moniker to anyone who has put up a decent season and a half.
Sounds like Anderson two years ago.
He never has been so far. He's solid but inconsistent. Has the talent to one day get there though.

That's because of the nashville game (where the leafs allowed 9 goals). Take that game away and their SV % is:
Bernier: .923 sv % and Reimer: .922 sv %
Goaltenders have done their job. It doesn't seem like it because the leafs have been scoring a lot.
Did the Vezina not get awarded last year?
...Yes it went to Rask.
Lol, you can't just take away stats to benefit your argument. That game did happen, why should we ignore it.
Like going 9-0-1 in his last 10?
No, just no.
