Who would have thought, the Ottawa Senators would have a “too many good goalies” problem? At the end of Craig Anderson’s tenure and the unfortunate long term injuries to Anders Nilsson, fans were left wondering who could fill the starter role for the near future. Sure, we had Marcus Högberg but his experience and stability were still wildly unproven.
However, it seemed in October Pierre Dorion would solve the issue with what looked like a fantastic trade and extension with Matt Murray. So many fans were excited but others were skeptical and rightfully so. The latter turned out to be right for the first few weeks of the season were Murray really struggled in net and when he had a bad game, it was just a disaster.
