Crosby. I am your father...

It was back-2-back road games for the Senators. They came out about as expected, tired and lethargic. Crosby had at least three breakaways, but scored on none.  Darth Gerber was huge. I guess they gave him that nickname after his all black, un-painted helmet. I believe that he had a mask painted, but stuck with the plain one after such a strong start. Supersticious goalie? Go figure. Gerber made 31 saves, actually 32. Sens were on a delayed penalty, Gerber heads to the bench. Heatley made a bad pass to the point, that was heading toward the center of the net. Gerber saw it and came back to make a nice save/outlet pass.
 
Sens hung around and evened the game at 1-1 after 2 periods. It smelled of the ideal road game. Stick around, keep the crowd out and steal the win. Heatley 2 goals, Spezza 2 goals, but give the win to Darth Gerber.
