Well, after a world beating perfornace against the Penguins, the Sens lost in OT to the Panthers. They got a point, but a very disappointing point. No where near the level of play displayed against Crosby and Co. That's when I realized what has been missing. Beside the obvious lack of consistent offense, the defense has not been physical. My boy Volchenkov had returned to his former wrecking-ball self and neutralized two of the best young players in the League (in the Pens game). The Panthers were allowed to skate all over the place. A pretty big 180 in intensity.
Gerber is schedule to start tonight. I agree with this move. Auld was not great in his last two games. Last game was the first time I've seen him allow a 'marginal' goal. Gerber is rotting away on the bench and Auld might need a rest. It's a good excuse to give Gerber a start. Who knows, maybe Gerber is up to the task.
