Maybe RC has decided that the showdown is over?

But no, trying to make sense of this decision would be a waste of time.  Hopefully Reimer actually starts.

Even still . . . even if Carlyle has decided, for whatever reason, that Bernier is now the team's starter, when you play 3 games in 4 nights, you start your backup in at least one of them unless your starter is playing absolutely lights out - which Bernier is not.

Why are you introducing reason into the discussion?  Are you trying to be REASONABLE?

But yeah, Reimer I bet starts.  Something is fishy over in Denmark, or whatever the saying is.

The author isn't exactly going off new information. The goalie who takes the home net at a full practice is typically the one who will start, yes. But if practice is optional then the starting goalie usually doesn't participate.

So I still think Reimer starts, but this isn't exactly confirmation.

Yeah Reimer was the only goalie on the ice apparently.

And according to David Alter there were only a "handful" of guys on the ice including Bozak, Orr and Ranger.  Doesn't really sound like it was a morning skate.  At least not a typical one where you glean who is the starter.
 
JVR-Kadri-Kessel
Lupul-Holland Kulemin
D'Amigo-McClement-Clarkson
Raymond-Smith-Bodie

Gunnarsson-Phaneuf
Gardiner-Franson
Fraser-Rielly

Reimer

So no McLaren, but we get Fraser back in for Liles.

Also, Raymond on the 4th line? He truly is Mac's replacement.
 
I don't mind that 4th line, as long as Carlyle uses it, and Liles should be in I think, he hasn't been terrible, he has been average to good, we need him back there to help move the puck out of our zone.
 
I could see Kadri thinking of making that backhand and with the overhead view you could see all the Panthers there.  I actually let out a "noooooo" all for not.
