((STEVE MASON:)) ((MAXIME GINGRAS/2.26 GOALS AGAINST AVERAGE:)) ((Gingras sees Berthiaume as a king and at one time, he was, when he played for Los Angeles. He played with superstars o the ice like Gretsky and visited with moviestars off it, like Tom Hanks. Now he is helping a rising star, and it all started with a simple signature. ((DANIEL BERTHIAUME/6-1 PLAYOFF RECORD:))
Although Berthiaume has provided Gingras with some direction, the former NHL stopper has been reluctant about giving him advice, especially now. ((:))
Berthiaume splits time with Dave Gagnon successfully but still hates spending anytime on the bench, promting one piece of advice. ((:)) If Berthiaume should tire, Gagnon is more than ready. He is 2 and OH against Richmond. allowing only 1.50 goals per game. Steve Mason Roun House Wrap up.))
