Injury Report: Jonathan Bernier

[X66]

Seems odd to me that bernier wouldn't have been practicing all summer in these new pads. If he had he would have, the irritation would have occurred during the summer rather than now one would assume

They just got the new pads in September.

Belfour must have said the same thing when his hand got infected in Pittsburgh :p

Jeff O'Neill is the ultimate tool, this guy has the nerve to call other players lazy, he was the laziest player I've ever seen, could have been so much better than he was.

O'Neill is a riot, when he played for us he was lazy, going through the motions, an entitled waste of ice time. You listen to him now with the "old school" stuff, he must think all the tape of him was burned.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Maybe they took a while to get made? We haven't had him for long.

Read something last week that Reimer only started practicing with the new pads at the end of August, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

They just got the new pads in September.

Thanks guys. It confused me as to why he wouldnt be practicing in them if he had them, that cleared it up though

I didn't mind O'Neil as a player, but I have not been able to stand the guy since seeing him on OTR. Can't quite pin point it, but he seems to have an weird kind of attitude when he talks.

Also, isn't he the one that was afraid of flying or something? I'm sure it's a legit phobia of his, but one could spin that as "won't travel with team, has character issues".

Yeah it was Jeff who was afraid to get on planes.. apparently Bozak has a fear of flying too.

I don't know what it is about him now but it just seems like that old man who used to live next to you and if your football/soccer ball went over the fence you knew he was not going to give it back just to be a jerk.


Shame too because I really love Noodles and liked listening to Leafs Lunch when it was just Hayes and Noodles. Maybe Ferarro said he was done with doing radio and they needed to replace that polarizing voice.

Anyways that is my 2 cents.


As for Bernie looks like he should be fine which is a good thing him going down in pre season would of sucked.

 

[crump]

Sounds like a rash. Right? Or is it muscles not coping with new geometry of the pads?

 

[snizzbone*]

No but listening to TSN1050, hayes/mclennen/oneil are trying to spin this as Bernier character issues. They've also been ripping Kadri for hitting Pageau and then getting into a scrum last night. Gotta love the TO media.

Wait what.. Pageau hit Kadri.. after the whistle.. and then Kadri basically gave him a little shove and Pageau flipped ****. That was 100% on Pageau trying to prove something because of his size.

Kadri got off scott-free there - hilarious that Gabriel got a double-minor and Clarkson got a minor for doing nothing but yap.

Clarkson was ripping Pageau's helmet off that's why he got the minor.

 

[rojac]

Good grief. In their lead-in to the second half hour of SportsCentre, TSN just stated that "one of the Leafs' biggest offseason acquisition misses practice with an undisclosed injury" -- and then proceeded to play the clip where Carlyle described it as an irritation to his knee. I guess to the Toronto media, even when the Leafs do disclose an injury, it is still undisclosed.

 

[Swervin81]

Jeff O'Neill is probably going to be 3rd man in on a phone call between Dave Feschuk and Bernier's mom.

 

[Znith]

Yeah, the players committee didn't finish approving the new pad changes until late in the summer...and then it takes some time to get pads made. For us mortals wait time on a custom set is 3-4 months, obviously its much faster for NHLers! But how fast I don't know? I'm guessing there were alot of pads to make.

 

[Center Ice Scrum*]

I just talked to Bernier's mom. It seems that he has a pretty nasty history battling diaper rashes. ****ing Nonis got duped into taking on this scrub.

O'Neill is hilarious and entertaining on the radio. That being said, his memory's not too good, looking back to his lazy ways with the Leafs.

you mean face off

 

[LeafsNation75]

Since Bernier had this problem prior to the game and was still able to play the 1st period was that a good or bad? The fact he was able to play sounds like a good sign, however did he possibly make the injury any worse than it already was because he played?

 

[ConnorTO]

wondering why Drew got on the ice so early

it's called preseason. he had an irritation. it's preseason. so why play?

 

[The Kessel Run]

Well he looked good other than losing sight of the puck on the first goal. Hope it's not bad and he gets back in time to kick the Sens' butts again.

Must be a detached cornea.

 

[Stats01]

should add

james mirtle ‏@mirtle
carlyle doesn't expect bernier to miss more than today's skate but doesn't have all the info yet.

lmfao!

Leafs' Bernier, Kadri to hit ice for weekend series against Sabres

http://www.torontosun.com/2013/09/2...-to-hit-ice-for-weekend-series-against-sabres

Bernier was not there Friday, but the coach revealed he has a unique knee “irritation”.

“It’s from new equipment he’s wearing, part and parcel to the (NHL mandated shorter pads). They’re new and they irritated the top of his knee cap. I don’t have a really true explanation, but that’s what I was (told) by the medical and training staff and what’s necessary to correct it now.

“I’d think he’ll be off the ice just for today, but medical people sometimes have a different opinion.”

Clarkson ripped Pageau's helmet off and probably cut his face to...

He's kind of positioning himself as a modern Don Cherry, doing the straight shooter thing. It's entertaining to hear him moan and groan like an old geezer...

 

[Drew311]

Its the cool thing to make fun of the leafs. I don't know why I listen anymore but its the only leafs radio show I know at noon. They constantly mock them. Still don't get how they take issue with kadri throwing a big hit and getting into a scrum. They criticize kessel for being soft yet when a skilled player like kadri goes in the corner they take issue with it.

It's funny because now you're actually spinning the media's words and making something out of nothing. Hayes was merely saying that he hopes Kadri isn't dropping the gloves on a regular basis or acting tough in scrums because he has Clarkson to back him up. He doesn't want to see Kadri get hurt, rather he be healthly and stick to putting up points.

Hayes and O'Neill are Leafs fans, jeez...don't get so butt hurt when a media member makes fun of a Leafs players. It's all in good fun and shouldn't be taken seriously. Man, I thought Leafs nation would have thick skin by now.
