Senators coach Dave Cameron pulls the old goalie-switcheroo

It was a gutsy move by Dave Cameron.

The biggest one he's made in his short NHL coaching career.

Deciding to sit Andrew (The Hamburglar) Hammond with the Senators trailing 2-0 against the Montreal Canadiens at the Canadian Tire Centre, had the potential to go one of two ways: It was either going to help the club get a win or it was going to be viewed as a panic move if the Senators lost.

The easy move would have been to do nothing. Leave Hammond in the net as the series returns to Ottawa and let the chips fall where they may.
