Jonathan "Mr. Zero" Bernier

[Swervin81]

He got off to a pretty terrible start the first few games but has started to settle in. Reimer has been the better goalie so far this season, but there's no clear number one yet and Bernier has bounced back and this is a close battle again for the #1. Hell, remember last year when Reimer outplayed Bernier early on and then Barnier outplayed Reimer later on. There's no clear number one yet and that's a good thing IMO.

Oh, and Mr Zero is officially his new nickname and I will make sure like ****ing hell that it sticks. Thanks Romanuk, you were useful for once

there's a goalie controversy?

 

[Paradoc]

Reimer has been good this season but Bernier has had 4 out of 5 excellent games thus far. As far as the goalie conversation there is none.

 

[Ace88*]

Just start reimer against bahston

Can't we just stick to MegaJon?

Nah. The Transformer names are strung out, and it would be wrong considering Bernier's mask has the Autobot logo on it

 

[AustonMitchWilly]

He got scored on. Why would he get that name? How many shutouts does he have this year?

Mr. Zero acquired his first and only shut out of the season thus far in the Sabres game where he faced a blistering 10 shots.

This, great nickname, unfortunately bernier hasn't earned it.

 

[ShooterMikgaven]

Hes been great of late but the mr zero thing is a bit much. Id start him tomorrow.

 

[TheThrill81*]

Why must you insult Frank Brimsek?

 

[ConnorTO]

the Quebec goalie

As much of a supporter of Bernier's as I am, there are plenty of question marks remaining to properly assess what the team has in Bernier. He has elite potential, but his consistency, mental toughness, durability and probably a few other things are unproven. Let's not start bestowing titles on him quite yet and let him earn them. At the very least until his first playoff run. No Flowers, please.

Not all that big fan of the "Mr. Zero" phrase, either.

P.S.: I cringed when the broad brought up Bernier's shutout streak during one of the intermission interviews.

Tenders should be off limits until post game. Should be a rule.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Reimer is the backup. PERIOD. Has he played a few games 'more than just OK' ? Yea.

 

[613Leafer]

Controversy? Its a GOOD thing that both are playing well.

Ideally some other playoff bubble team (preferably in the other conference) gets desperate for a goaltender, and we have enough faith in Bernier to move Reimer for top value. Im looking at you Winnipeg!

Agent Zero has a better ring to it, am I right?

 

[diceman934]

Carlyle is playing Bernier as his number one....and rightfully so!

 

[Daisy Jane]

I'm not sure if I like Mr. Zero.
maybe Mr Freeze instead? he's so cold - like even when he's pissed off you dont really know, he freezes the puck well...

if he has to have anickname

 

[Incognito]

There's no goalie controversy. It's ridiculously obvious that Bernier is the #1.

 

[dubey]

I hope Reimer keeps playing good so we can trade him for a decent return

 

[ConnorTO]

I hope Reimer keeps playing good so we can trade him for a decent return

I hope he keeps on playing good so he becomes #1 again

this is coming from a Kings fan (Leafs are my #2 team) so forgive me if its a bit out of place, but why is Reimer so loved by so many fans? is it because he was in net when the Leafs made the playoffs after so many years? is it his goofy smile? i dont understand it

 

[rojac]

Shouldn't people hope both Reimer and Bernier play well so that Toronto has a good season? Shouldn't that be the priority?
