Martin Gerber News

The never ending goaltending story continues, even with Bryan Murray back behind the Ottawa Senators' bench.

Martin Gerber is no Dominik Hasek. Just ask him. Or, better yet, ask for a second opinion from Ottawa Senators coach Bryan Murray.

At some point in the days following tomorrow's National Hockey League trade deadline, when the roster of the Ottawa Senators is fixed for the balance of the season, goaltender Martin Gerber will receive the official word from head coach John Paddock.

The Maple Leafs have shown very little patience for goaltenders in their recent history, either the homegrown variety or those acquired through trade or free agency.

BINGHAMTON -- A talented goaltender with good size and athleticism, Chris Holt posted a miniscule 1.73 goals-against average in 20 games with the American Hockey League's Peoria Rivermen last season.

It represented another two points and was their fourth consecutive victory. Howver, the Ottawa Senators won't look at the tape of last night's 4-1 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins as a textbook example of Hockey 101.

After all the Senators have been through over the past week, including the firing of coach John Paddock and the return of Bryan Murray behind the bench, and with a desperate need to find themselves before the playoffs begin, they have a tailor-made opportunity to show they are on the road to recovery.

Alex Kovalev, the biggest free agent signing in the off-season so far by Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray, made his first public appearance as a Senator in Ottawa during a press conference held at Scotiabank Place, July 21, 2009.

Ray Emery's summer will likely include surgery and a major raise. The Ottawa Senators goaltender Saturday acknowledged that he played most of the past season with an injured left wrist.

Scott Clemmensen parlayed a surprising season as an injury replacement in New Jersey into a lucrative contract from the Florida Panthers.

Martin Gerber replaced Ray Emery as the No. 1 goalie for the Ottawa Senators a few seasons back.

For the first two months of the 2008-09 season, goaltender Alex Auld was the Ottawa Senators' most valuable player.

Toronto a Martin Gerber did it to them. And really, how else could this season have ended? Ottawa Senators forward Dany Heatley chases a loose puck against Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jeff Finger and goalie Martin Gerber during the first period of their NHL hockey game in Toronto April 11, 2009.

A change would do you good. -- Sheryl Crow Seven. That's how many Ottawa Senators will remain from the roster of the 2007 Stanley Cup finalists -- if wingers Dany Heatley and Chris Neil are not back.

The big hint could be Martin Biron's new goalie mask. It's as white as freshly fallen snow and isn't painted with the team colours and logos you see on those of other NHL goalies.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced Wednesday they have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with former Ottawa Senators goaltender Ray Emery.

Ray Emery appears on the verge of returning to the National Hockey League with the Philadelphia Flyers.

It's another case of two steps forward, two steps back for the Ottawa Senators. Once again, the Senators blew a late lead last night, helping keep the Buffalo Sabres' slim playoff hopes alive in a 4-3 shootout loss.
