Honestly i think everything toned down once bernier went in it. Yeah i saw that 1 mistake he made and think everyone calmed down afterwards because bernier was making big saves. Reimer let some weak ones in so its hard to judge the defense, franson had a bad game but should bounce back. Honestly i think carlyle should juggle the lineup of defense.


Rielly Phaneuf

Gardiner Gunner

Ranger Franson

Hell no. Not this soon. Keep him isolated against 3rd and 4th lines. Then send him back to JR

Phaneuf-Percy looked great in preseason. See how Percy does in AHL for a while.

K he owns, plus id rather have gardiner be paired up with gunner, i think gardiner is more of a liability than phaneuf. At least you know rielly will come back

Rielly's not ready for top line responsibilities yet. Absolutely zero upside to rushing him into that situation.

#1PP sure, go ahead. But 5 on 5 he simply isn't ready. Baby steps.

Well Rielly didnt look good with franson. Fraser looks good with franson, gardiner wasnt that bad with franson. Phaneuf with gunner annoys me. Percy with phaneuf was really good. Ranger just sucks

Unless you do this:

Gunner Phaneuf

Gardiner Franson

Rielly Fraser

Ranger was better than Franson tonight

Rielly didn't look good with Franson cause they were playing against the 2nd line, and neither should be doing that (right now anyway).

Putting Rielly against 1st line opposition and expecting him to fair better than he did against 2nd line is pretty wishful thinking.

Agreed but id much rather have franson still in the lineup. He will bounce back. Yeah i suppose, iunno i just hate gunner. Trade gunner and put in percy

Dion Phaneuf has been really, really good in the first 3 games.

Maybe cause bernier is better in a lot of departments than reimer. Reimer is a slow reactor man, like i said hes ass at stick handling, ass with is glove most of the time, ass with rebounds, dont know why he scrambles on the floor and gets up so slowly like seriously is he that clueless? get the (frank) up and stop flopping on the ground he does this alot when hes on the floor hes (frank)ed and moving laterally he isnt the fastest

I was doing it before any games were played

Seriously though, he's not giving up the net for a while I bet.

EDIT: 4 Western teams in a row coming up - logic would dictate Bernier should play them all

Oh yeah I deleted it i thought about after and was like that's the dumbest thing I could have said. I was going to re word and I just took the lazy root.

Basically I was thinking playing Ranger with Phaneuf would help improve/bring back Ranger game quicker.

pens vs leafs

OR

ducks vs leafs (carlyles old team)

wonder if this will be the first team to start 3-0 and get bag skated
