Gibson vs. Bernier: Anaheim’s Goaltender Debate

When Anaheim brought Jonathan Bernier into the fold last summer, no one could have predicted that Anaheim would end up with ANOTHER goaltending controversy on their hands. Gibson was the clear-cut #1 entering the season after making Frederick Andersen expendable, and Bernier’s struggles in his time in Toronto made it pretty clear that this was no longer a 1A and 1B kind of situation. And, up until mid-February, those predicitons proved true. Despite a couple of good starts early in the season, Bernier struggled to put up consistent strong performances. Gibson, just as he did a year ago, really hit his stride near the halfway mark of the season.
