Gerber Yes, Alfie Maybe For Friday’s Game

From James Gordon of the Ottawa Citizen,
“I’m not sure at this point,” Hartsburg said this morning when asked if Alfredsson could possibly play against the Phoenix Coyotes Friday or the Boston Bruins Saturday. “Every day he comes in and evaluates how he’s feeling, if there’s pain, if there’s swelling and so far, he’s been good.”
Hartsburg did commit to having goaltender Martin Gerber between the pipes Friday. Gerber played well for most of the 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings last Saturday, but gave up a questionable goal and the lead in the dying minutes.
Hartsburg didn’t say who would play Saturday. He’ll likely make that determination based on Gerber’s next performance.
Maybe Alfredsson should start being nicknamed ‘Claire’, or is that too obscure? You just can’t keep him down.
Glad to see that it’s only the story-hungry media and quick-to-judge fans who doubt Gerber’s ability and would seek to shelve him so quickly, but it would take a gamebreaking performance to stop Auld from starting in the back half of the back-to-back against his former team on Saturday.
