Vancouver Reaction: Bernier Rises At The Right Time

Steve Bernier’s timely goals have surprised Vancouver fans as Nucks Misconduct ponders where this Bernier guy came from:
We’ve touted the Twins enough (and will continue to fall over ourselves to do so) but Luongo and Bernier deserve some applause. Luongo had his strongest game in weeks and ended with 30 saves. Think back to his monster goalmouth save in game one and subsequent big saves against Frolov in game four and Smyth tonight. And where this version of Steve Bernier has been hiding is quite the mystery. Excellent positioning, finally using his body, blocking shots and eating up shooting lanes...and scoring? Welcome back to the circle Steve.
With Chicago dead ahead, the Canucks are going to need Bernier to rise to the occasion to stand a chance against the dynamic Blackhawks.
