Ok, it was nice to see Martin Gerber pick up the win last night with a solid effort against his former team. Although, you had to admit, that first goal Carolina scored reminded fans why we haven't seen Gerber play in two weeks. Soft, soft, soft. But, to his credit, he shook it off and started to play his game about 1/2 way through the first period. He was in good position, made key saves when needed and pretty much looked like the goalie we hoped for when he signed on this past summer. However, I don't think this should mean he automatically gets back the starting job, as the one of the main reasons Ottawa finds itself battling for a playoff spot now was his shoddy play. When Ray Emery got the call, he played extremely well and gave the teams two things it needed: wins and confidence.

The Ottawa Senators' website confirmed Ray Emery will get the start tomorrow against the Panthers. Gerber made the first step to come back from his slump last night, but he'll have to do a lot more to take the #1 job away from Emery.
