Martin Gerber to be placed on waivers

by Cat Smasher on Jan 12, 2009 12:55 PM EST

Well, have the Sens officially entered the tank or what? :) I think this should have happened long ago.

It would appear G Martin Gerber's days with the Senators are close to being over. The veteran netminder is expected to be placed on waivers in the next couple of days if the Senators can't deal him. It's believed there was mild interest from the Canucks earlier this season, but they passed. Brian Elliott was recalled from Binghamton of the AHL to start last night's game vs. the Rangers, with Alex Auld serving as backup. Gerber, however, did take the pre-game skate and had been out on the ice earlier with goaltending coach Eli Wilson.

Wow

Looks like the first step in Bryan Murray’s plan to save his job.

This move is only about 15 months late.

Blake’s the type of guy who will finally leave the Leafs and go on to score 50 goals with his new team.

If Blake scores 50 goals at age 35+, he’s allowed to fist pump whenever, wherever.

Does this mean they’ve accepted reality and the tank is on in earnest?

Why do the damn sens gotta copy us :(

No, the tank would be on if they announced Gerber was starting the rest of the way.

Laff, true.. But I wonder about putting in an AHL callup the rest of the way.. is he getting a trial by fire or what?

I just hope they draft the next coming of daigle with their low pick!

I like the tears of Sens fans

But must they still our thunder and tank worst then us when this was supposed to be our year of the tank?

Seriously, they try to out-do us in everything we do… I will admit that’s dedication but its just annoying, its like having a bratty little brother following you around copying and imitating you all day long.

Yup.
