"He [Bernier] has got to rebound but at what expense?" continued Babcock. "I just know that [Garret] Sparks gets an opportunity today." The goalie and the coach are clearly both frustrated with the tender's performance to date, but lines of communication between the two are open. Given his struggles, Bernier isn't trade worthy and he needs to rebuild his confidence to even return to the blue paint. Every goalie goes through this, even the best, but the bright lights in Toronto are making this difficult for the once bright prospect.
