Wanted: One Miracle Fix, Apply Within

The Citizen's Alan Panzeri has already given up on Brian Elliot:
Are there any other goalies out there the Ottawa Senators can take a look at? Is it time to give Martin Gerber a third look? Maybe elevate Jeff Glass from Binghamton?
According to the Senator's website, the object of Mr. Panzeri's derision has a pitiful 7-4-3-0 record. That's right, after just fourteen games, we're done with him and are looking for our next savior.

Kick his ass back to Binghamton.

Right.

I understand the frustration with the team, but to blame the problems on the net minders is incredibly short-sighted. True, the defense is playing better than they were in front of Martin Gerber, but Elliot is still learning his game at this level.

Since this season is pretty much pointless, I'd say the team should give Elliot the starts he needs to see if he can fight back through adversity.
