Have to say, it's a tough choice, but Reimer has had the slight edge in preseason in terms of sv percentage, wins. Bernier played only one full preseason game it's a small sample size. Carlyle will probably take what he saw in scrimmages into the decision. I think Carlyle will give Bernier every chance to take the 1 spot, unless he melts down in a few consecutive games. So I wouldn't be surprised if Bernier is in net opening night. I like his rebound control, glove hand better than Reimer's, I like Reimers size, battling instincts, but his rebounds produce, roughly, an extra 5 chances a night.
I love Reimers attitude, you can see he is a little mad when people ask him about Bernier...gives the right answer stating just wants to be at his best when the season starts, let's his play do the talking.
In the end, I think Bernier will play around 50 games, Reimer will get the rest.
