Random NHL update

A couple highlights from this week. Roenick had the deciding shootout game winner for the Sharks, over his old Philly squad. JR still has sick breakaway moves, if not breakaway speed. The shootout suits him. Brodeur got revenge over Sean Avery, shutting-out Dallas for his second shutout of the year. There's a countdown about him passing Patrick Roy in all time wins, and he should get it this year. I think he's also sneaking-up on 100 shutouts, or something crazy like that. Brodeur is the man. I have tons of respect for the guy. Speaking of goalies, the Sens and Kings continue to have issues. Labarbera and Gerber look soft at times. Gerber has had trouble with the first shot in most games, and has allowed some soft, back-breaking goals. Granted the team defense is up and down, but the soft goals are VERY soft. Naturally, the back-up Alex Alud will be getting his chance and it's tonight against Anaheim. If he's superman, he gets to start tomorrow too. I wish Gerber well, but the bottom line is that the team needs solid goaltending and if it's at the expense of Gerber getting a demotion, so be it. To add to this mess, Brian Elliott is tearing it up in the AHL and has yet to lose a game. 5-0-1. So, don't count the #3 goalie out either.
