January 12, 2013 By

1. Jonathan Bernier "just wants to play". John Hoven (aka the "Mayor"...not the obtuse one from LA, the hockey one) first gave us the Bernier quote yesterday via his @MayorNHL Twitter about Bernier's desire to play (which we all knew) but which preceded this beauty, "...hopefully Suttsy can squeeze me in for a few."
