First off, congrats to Marty Brodeur for tieing Sawchuk's shutout record at 103 last night. It's only a matter of games before Marty seals his 104th, but hopefully he gets to do it at home in front of all 1,300 fans at the Prudential Centre. Let's just hope it's not on December 18th vs. the Sens.
As I watched the highlights of Marty's win, it made me yearn for a Sens shutout, of which we have yet to achieve in the 2009-2010 campaign. Back when obtained Leclaire I was very optimistic that he would return to his shut-em-out ways of the 2007-08 season, where he managed 9 shutouts in a career high 54 games played - 37.5% of his wins that season were by shutout!
Hold on...my head just exploded...
But alas, after 28 games this season we are still in search of our first goose egg between Snoopy and the BE Keeper. Now, I'm not coming down on our goaltending and think it's been very solid, despite a recent 3pt, 5 game road swing where the whole team seemed to be on vacation, with the exception of a few standouts. That all said, I keep itching to see a final score of:
Ottawa # - Visitor 0
Agree? Good.
That brings me to my question of who should start in net tonight. Over the course of the dismal road swing, I kept reading people plead for Mike "Don't Call Me Marty" Brodeur to start a game, but Clouston kept with BE. Now that the Keeper has played 5 straight games on the road (and every game since and including the broken jaw incident), is it time for him to rest?
Now this is getting a little crazy, but imagine this...
December 7 - Marty Brodeur records his 103rd shutout to tie the NHL record
December 8 - Mikey Brodeaur records his 1st shutout in his first NHL game
Could fate be on our side tonight? Or am I crazy? Coming back down to Earth, maybe Mikey B is ready and he just deserves a start. Maybe he's jacked about his distant's cousin's success that he's pumped to play. Add that to the fact that MTL came off a 13 shot performance last night. Do you give this game to Brodeur.
Of course, the other side of the coin is that Ottawa returns to SBP tonight where Elliot is 4-0-2 this season with a 2.18 save percentage. Hmm, I like those odds.
The Habs are 2 points behind us. This is a good time to stretch our lead and a very important game following the road trip from hell. A first-half season must win if you ask me.
So who do you start??? Karma or Statistics?

Since I find it hard to ask a question without giving my own POV, I'm going with the BE Keeper for tonight. His stats are solid at home and this is a good game to get his confidence back.
While I like the idea of seeing "Brodeur" on the back of a Sens jersey, I like the 2pts more.
I've got it ...
Sens cough up 3 goals by the 12 minute mark of the 1st and Mikey gets his debut. Shuts out les Habitants the rest of the way while the skaters grind their way to OT, where the game is up for grabs.
Final score 4-3. Kovalev takes the night off. 0 pts. 0 shots and -2 on the night, due to his or Spezza's turnovers. Foligno runs the legs off himself trying to back check all night.
Brodeur gets his official start against Carolina on the 12th or Minnesota on the 19th. CiCi is too kind to start him vs Marty on the 18th or risk pitting him against a division rival.
4-3? But for who???
I didn't pick one on purpose, but I never expected the Sens to get raped by Halak.
The team is great at making goalies look like Vezina calibre.
Fisher and Michalek on track for 40 goals ?? WTF?
What happens when teams start keying on those two? Hello shutouts ...
Good bye Bryan Murray.
