TSN.ca is reporting that Ron Wilson has decided that Curtis Joseph will start in goal tonight against Ottawa, at the exclusion of Martin Gerber, robbing fans of both clubs of a very interesting storyline. Thanks, Ron. Who knows why this decision was made? Was it because the Leafs were afraid Gerber's fragile psyche would melt under the pressure of the ex-home rink's bright lights and chorus of boos? Was it the soft goals he let in Saturday's contest with Edmonton? Or, my personal suspicion, is Gerber's new Leafs gear STILL not ready, and the team didn't want to throw him in net with his Ottawa gear on, as that would just be too much?
Either way, this stinks. Who knows? Maybe the Sens build on Saturday's offensive explosion against Buffalo and we get to see both Joseph AND Gerber. Here's hoping.
