. After Gasquet beat fifth-seeded Ivan Dodig of Croatia 7-5, 6-3, Tsonga
followed up with a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-2 win against sixth-seeded Edouard
Roger-Vasselin in an all-French match.TORONTO – Among the many stars, fleeting
paparazzi and widespread shimmer of the Hollywood scene was sheer anonymity for
the former backup goaltender of the Los Angeles Kings. Jonathan Bernier was but
a blip on the glitzy California radar, but now in his first season in Toronto,
he finds himself squarely in the spotlight. One half of the Leafs standout
goaltending tandem, the 25-year-old has raced out to a quick start with the new
opportunity, posting a .933 save percentage in his first 10 games. Born 30
minutes outside of Montreal in nearby Laval, Quebec, Bernier knows a thing or
two about the intensity and pressures of a furious hockey market. Speaking to
the Leaf Report on Thursday afternoon, he detailed his adjustment to life in the
spotlight, life with a new team and goalie coach, and starting on a regular
basis. What follows is an edited transcript of that conversation. LR: Im
wondering what the difference is off the ice in coming to Toronto. Youre coming
from a place in L.A. where its not the same intensity as here. Whats that been
like, that process of coming to a hockey market per se? BERNIER: Its definitely
an adjustment because in L.A., youd be out on the street and no one knows who
you are. Even the greatest players, [Anze] Kopitar and Dustin Brown, theyll
maybe get recognized once in a while. [But] here, you have a good game, next day
you go out for breakfast or whatever and everyones happy for you. People are
very respectful and thats the one thing I found right away is theyll come and
say congrats or good game, but theyre very respectful and thats a great thing.
LR: Did the first time it happened catch you off guard? BERNIER: I heard about
it [before I came here]; guys told me about it. And obviously coming from a big
city like Montreal as well, I knew how [their players] deal with the fans
outside the rink so I was expecting that a little bit. LR: So just going back to
L.A., you could go out to dinner and walk down the street and just nothing?
BERNIER: Nothing. Id say after the Cup [in 2012], people kind of knew who we
were [in the area] where we lived, but if wed go downtown or Hollywood, theres
no chance. LR: So whats the strangest thing that someones said to you here?
BERNIER: I havent got any good stories yet (laughs). LR: Do you like the change?
BERNIER: Yeah, its a good change. I think it keeps you focused on hockey. You
dont want to have a bad game because then the next day, youre going to hear
about it (laughs). LR: You understand the market in Montreal, how do you think
the two are similar? BERNIER: I think theyre very similar. The [cities are] both
supporting the team. I think for me though speaking French and being in
Montreal, I think itd be a lot harder just because you have two sessions of
media pretty much (laughs). LR: When a player comes to this kind of market, what
are the adjustments required just to be ready for that kind of stuff? BERNIER: I
found there is pressure, but pressure, you put that on yourself. If you dont
really focus on whats going on on TV and radio and internet, I dont find [that
it adds pressure]. Maybe [thats] because right now were having success – we have
a good record – but maybe if it would be the opposite, maybe Id say a differentt
thing.
Jordan Reed Redskins Jersey. But so far I
havent found that its that hard. Like I said, you just put pressure on yourself
so its all about how much pressure you want to put on you. LR: Well, I would
imagine it doesnt really change your focus. Your focus would have to be the same
regardless. BERNIER: Yeah, exactly. I think even in L.A., among the guys, we
were putting that much pressure on ourselves and the GM and coaches. Its kind of
the same way here. We try to stay away from the media pressure and just focus on
ourselves and our team and just make sure were ready every game. LR: You told me
last week about the focus thats required mentally playing more often. Has it
helped? Does it help you be a better goalie when you know youre playing more
often? BERNIER: You mean from the pressure? LR: No, just in terms of your
preparation in being ready to play. I would imagine in some situations in L.A.,
its difficult when you go a couple weeks and you havent played and youve got to
get back in there and play well. Has it been like you thought it would be?
BERNIER: I think its easier mentally just because the reason is youre happy and
you dont get off into negative thoughts and things like that. So I think if you
stay positive and just keep working hard, then youre having fun. I think as a
hockey player or any sport, if youre having fun, usually youll have success. I
think that was the thing in L.A.; sometimes I was getting frustrated in not
playing. But at the same time, here, its fun. We have a great group of guys,
were winning right now and its a big snowball. LR: And I can imagine the worst
thing is if you had an off-night and you dont get to start for a while its just
got to burn you? BERNIER: Yeah. And thats something that I had to learn my first
year is not to worry about the result of the game, more focusing on my game.
Because then you start worrying if you dont win, then youre not going to play
for another two, three weeks and you have to think about that loss. I think I
got better [at that] as the years went along. That was something I was really
focusing on was just focusing on myself and not the result. LR: Has there been
any adjustment working with a different goalie coach? Has he changed things?
BERNIER: No. Rick [St. Croix] is really good. Hell just try to give me some
tools, but at the same time, its not something that hes going to say you have to
do this. Hes just going to let me know hey if you want to do this in a game or
in practice, work on that and if you feel comfortable do it. But the one thing I
really like is I think he watched a lot of video and probably heard about my
style and he adjusted to that. He knows when I feel comfortable with my depth
and things like that. Obviously its still new, but were starting to get a good
chemistry between him and I. LR: So is that your depth in the net? BERNIER: That
was just an example. It can be how I played the puck, make quicker decisions or
things like that. But I can tell that he watched video and saw when I was on my
game what I was doing right. LR: And thats what James [Reimer] told me, I
remember last year, that Ricks not the kind of guy whos going to say you have to
do this, hes going to look at what you do and say we can do this. BERNIER:
Exactly.
