Sens came out on top over Atlanta, but not without a little drama. It was a 5-0 domination for most of the game. Emery saw 6 shots through two periods. Robitaille had two goals in place of the injured Spezza. McAmmond was back in the line-up. Foligno scored his second career goal. Neil had a nice brawl with Boulton. I was wondering how high the score would get, since Hedberg was lifted and there was the 3rd period left. Then the wheels came off.
Robitaille took a heavy check while scrambling in the crease for his hattrick goal, and was leveled by Exelby. Did not return. Neil took a bad penalty, double minor for roughing. Then the Thrashers started getting shots on Emery. Granted Emery was probably asleep, but he got beat bad and often. Long shots, 5-hole, high glove, he couldn't stop anything. Well, before you know it, it's 5-4 and the Thrash have a powerplay with 1:30 left in the game. Sens get an empty netter, and walk away with a scare. Gerber's job is pretty safe for know in my eyes.
