The boos were few and far between.
But they were there.
Jonathan Bernier, the Lewiston Maineiacs' franchise goaltender who has a world junior gold medal and four games of NHL regular-season experience under his belt, heard them.
He had just given up his seventh goal of the night against Acadie-Bathurst at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.
Since that day, Bernier has played in nine games. He's allowed just 15 goals, and his save percentage is around 95 percent.
"Nobody's booing him now, are they?" Maineiacs' head coach Ed Harding said with a smile. "To be honest with you, I got on him a little bit, too. We had an understanding, he knew I was behind him, but everybody has a bad day at work. You have a bad day, I have a bad day, too."
Now, there is no more room for a bad day.
