People here are so uptight, really. It's easy to point the finger and blame Reimer for the team's losing streak, and although he definitely hasn't been up to par in the last couple of weeks, it can also come down to bad D like I said. Kadri, Lupul, Kessel, JVR, and Gardiner are pretty much the only people holding the team together at this point, doing their job and scoring goals.

I'm hoping that Bernier is back in the net tonight against the Blues, and that he starts. He's been a key player the entire season and I prefer him over Reimer. There is talk of MacIntyre getting his first NHL start tonight if Bernier doesn't feel up to it, but I don't think that would be a wise decision. The Blues are a strong team, second in the league behind Boston and they've already clinched their playoff spot. Tonight should be interesting.

How's Edmonton doing, by the way?
