Senators Fall to Canadiens in O'Connor's NHL Debut

Ah, thanksigiving weekend, a time to gather with family to eat food and (we hoped) to watch the Senators annihilate the Canadiens. It being a long weekend, I hope you can forgive a fairly short recap of the game. Matt O'Connor got his first career NHL start, against Mike Condon, also in his first career NHL start. Apparently the first time both starting goalies have been making their NHL debut since 1967. It seemed a little funny that O'Connor decided to come to Ottawa because they wouldn't rush him to the NHL, only to be rushed into NHL action due to an injury to Andrew Hammond.
