Who starts?

Gerber is supposed to start tonight. But much has been made in the Canadian media of the brewing goalie controversy. I don't see one. In my mind Gerber has been the starter this year, and it's his job to lose. There are 3.7 million reasons why he should be playing. With the Sens getting only three games until November, there will be plenty of downtime to over analyze the situation. I will admit that when I saw Gerber with a black un-painted mask to start the season, I figured he was moving to another team, not that he was getting his mask painted. The last thing they should do is rush Emery back into the net before his wrist is fully healed. If anything, it is best for the organization to have this 'problem'. Gerber's trade value only increases with every game he continues to start. Gerber has been a professional, despite getting slighted over his rough start last year, he came in and got it done so far this season. The best revenge for Gerber is to keep Emery on the bench this year, with some solid play of his own. Either way, it will be easy to off-load one of these goalies to the Kings, once they hit the panic button in a couple weeks. I have a soft spot for Dustin Brown. Bring him over along with Brian Boyle. Just remember you heard it here first...
