What if it was game 7? Sometimes you gotta just do it. Mari is a trashy D no idea how he plays over the Marlies
true. but Bernier for a while for me - isn't strong with his puck play, maybe it would have behooved him to just stay in the net?
I was pumped about him I really was but I dunno how he is ahead of Corrado atm... I mean we must be missing something HUGE in the practices to have Babs let him play constantly...or our worst case dream has come true and Marcincin is Bab's Johnny Malkin.
Yeah, i agree that marincin is an idiot with that play, but bernier has to be more aware as to when to come out of the net, especially to go behind his net. There where two leafs and a bruin there, thats just too risky. There's no need for it.
Yeah it's not totally on Bernier but to say he's absolved of any responsibility for the goal is a joke.
Stay in your net. It's not that hard. He's not great at handling the puck behind the net anyway. There was really no reason to play the puck in that instance. You have both your Dmen arriving anyway from each side. It's a tie game late in the game. Why not play conservative, let you d handle it and get the point?
The giveaway was ugly but jeez, it's completely fine to blame the goalie. If Reimer did that, he's to be blamed as well.
I want them to not lose as much...so they dont get a good draft pick but lose enough so they miss the playoffs

He made a routine play. Jeez.
He could make the same play in the same situation a thousand times over without it being a problem.
I was saying "No Bernier, no," when he started coming out of the net there. I agree, I've never been impressed with his puck-handling, but it's not like he even really "played" it there. He slowed it down for Marincin to do something, and Marincin chose the worst option possible.
Ah well.
He was the first one to the puck and got it to his defensman safely. He even went the extra mile and blocked off the forechecker for Marincin to have time to make a good play. Instead he decides to send a weak backhander up the middle. The goalie did everything right on that play.
On another note we all know if Reimer was in net and made the exact same play, you would not be blaming the goalie.
If they miss the playoffs, they could still win the lottery! I want them to just barely make the playoffs. Same with Snottawa!
The funniest part of that marchand goal was hnic blaming Rielly on the bench for a Bernier/Marincin miscommunication. What a joke
If Reimer did the exact same thing I would blame Reimer. I've advocated for trading Reimer and having Bernier be our goalie the rest of the season.
People are incredibly sensitive to put any blame on Bernier. Marincin is to blame, Bernier is partially at fault.

I dunno whats up with the Hens but eh I can agree with that too lol.If they miss the playoffs, they could still win the lottery! I want them to just barely make the playoffs. Same with Snottawa!
Works for me, but I doubt they miss the playoffs even with the way they've been playing. Can't see them getting past the first or second round though.
lets not kid ourselves here.
Pittsburgh too though.
