MotM: Bozak HM: Bernier

So everything they traded Bernier for is gone. Strange.

Well, St. Louis is a tool. Hopefully his transition to the Rangers goes as smoothly as other big names that have gone there in the past.

This is one of those guys I actually never even heard of before this season.

This game could've been a two or three goal lead in the first period. They didn't play great, but they weren't bad. That was, I believe, what they refer to as "puck luck." Still, insanely sloppy play defensively. Turnovers are ridiculous and I'm not sure how they're going to fix it.

For the numbers peeps, his shooting percentage is apparently well below what it typically is. I have him on my fantasy team and expect him to start lighting it up any day now...

I find it more surprising that Dubnyk is being waived. Surely someone will take him.

Yes, let's get that son of a bitch and his .924 save percentage out of here.

Like I said, regardless of your personal feelings towards Reimer, the team has clearly identified Bernier - who has been excellent much more often than not - as the starter. Benching him after one rusty outing following a two-week layoff would make zero sense. Zero.

How would it make sense? Bernier is the starter and looked pretty rusty after a two-week layoff. I think he needs another chance to get his rhythm going again, not another break right off the bat.

I kinda doubt Reimer starts Saturday.

Can't win 'em all?

They all look like a rusty team, which is how I expected them to look. At least they secured one point here.

He couldn't score a goal to save his life during his NHL run, and he had a few opportunities.* I like Komarov and hope he comes back, but he's got to be reasonable about it, financially. *I'm not talking ice-time numbers or Corsi stats or whatever. I mean I actually witnessed him failing to...

They finished fourth in Nagano. You must be thinking of the disaster in Turin, Italy.

What's the deal with the Olympic highlights? I'm trying to find Kessel's hat trick and having zero luck. EDIT: Nevermind. Found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWqYMdnNGOo

They didn't in 2010, and the popular belief seems to be they had trouble finding Crosby linemates that could help get him going. And yes, Kunitz has been a top-scoring winger, since he started playing with Crosby. Hence that whole "chemistry" thing. Clearly there was more to some of the...

In defence of Sharp, Yzerman has gone on the record in the past as stating his versatility is a huge plus. He can play all three forward positions, man the point on the power play, and is one of the more dangerous penalty killers in the league. I imagine the fact he's lighting it up this season...

Um, nope. I'm pretty sure he was chosen because they thought he had built-in chemistry with the most important player on the team. You can try to rationalize it with point totals or whatever else, but I don't see how anyone can doubt the above reason is the main reason. He's not as good as...

Near the end of the Canada game today, Hughson mentioned how they switched Kunitz to the Toews line. So the only reason he makes the team is because "he can play with Crosby", and now they're already not playing him with Crosby. Awesome. Claude Giroux should SO be there.
