The growing sarcasm and loathing directed at Bernier by some posters is fairly confusing. The guy has been consistently good to great all year and has been flat-out better than Reimer recently.

I like both goalies, but I think Bernier has gained the edge right now. Reimer will probably do something similar before the season ends.

I don't think it's really directed AT Bernier. He's a good goalie for sure. It's just confusing how he basically eludes criticism while Reimer is criticized for any mistake, sometimes the same mistakes made by Bernier.

Yeah it's not at Bernier, it's at those who criticize Reimer endlessly for any rebounds but ignore them when it's Bernier, despite both having played excellent this season.  In some circles Reimer is still considered risky.

Wow. Still only 1 regulation win in 19 games. Chicago and before that the Islanders back in November.

At least they got two points. I'm getting a little concerned about their hold on the playoff spot.

Now, 9-2-5 in one-goal games.

If you count SO/OT wins separately (W-SOW/OTW-L-OTL/SOL) they're 1-8-2-5.

And this makes 9 times they've given up the lead and let the other team force overtime (conversely, they've forced overtime thrice).

Yeah, 'win's a win' but they're eking out a lot of their wins against mediocre to bad teams in games that should've been closed out. That doesn't bode well.
