Martin Gerber is on his way back to OKC. Photo courtesy wikipedia.org My head.  I scratch it. The Oilers have assigned Martin Gerber to Oklahoma City today, signalling Nikolai Khabibulin’s return to the club. All Gerber did on his NHL call-up was win the two games he was put in the net for while compiling a .950 SV% and a 1.5 GAA. Everyone move along.  Nothing to see here...

Blackhawks – 5 Oilers – 0 Five goals to zero goals is usually the sign of a pretty good beating, until you realize that it could’ve really gone out of control from there.  Edmonton may have won the first two meetings between the squads this year, but to say Chicago got some revenge last night would be an understatement. Let’s take the jump and at see how...

Back-up goalie Martin Gerber tells Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun that he has made it clear to Senators management he would like to move on if he does not receive more playing time in Ottawa.

Martin Gerber played NHL hockey long enough to face 95 shots. He stopped 91 of them. His reward? Oklahoma City. On a team that won 25 games all year long, Martin Gerber won all three games he appeared in. His reward? Oklahoma City. Gerber's save percentage (.958) ranks first overall among goalies who played more than 180 minutes in the show. His reward? Oklahoma City. Martin...

By Peter Levi You can’t take Ottawa’s deadline deal in isolation; it has to be judged inclusively with earlier moves.  So, in this failed season, how can we rate Bryan Murray?  He’s made three moves since firing Craig Hartsburg: 1) demoted Martin Gerber (3.75, UFA), eventually losing him on re-entry waivers the second time through to Toronto Analysis: Gerber [...]

Gerber sustains what appears to be a serious neck injury

The signing of Martin Gerber was an astute move by Steve Tambellini. Gerber's spot on the roster (4th on the depth chart) allows them to make sure the Barons have solid goaltending and offers a suitable backup plan should last season's snafu repeat itself with the big league club. Boxcars: 30gp, 2.19 (all numbers KHL)SP: .914WLT: 15-6-6SP ahead of backup: .006Cap hit: $500...

via National Post: With the score tied 2-2 in the final minute of regulation, the Toronto Maple Leafs put a call in for their closer after goaltender Martin Gerber was ejected with 57 seconds left in regulation time for making physical contact with an official. Though he played less than six minutes of game time, Curtis [...]

The goaltending plot has thickened in Edmonton... The Oilers have signed UFA goaltender Martin Gerber to a $500,000, one-year contract. This is obviously a move to strengthen the Oilers AHL team, as Gerber will receive $200,000 this season if he plays in Oklahoma City. Great signing by Edmonton. Not only is he a good enough goaltender for the Barons, but Gerber is also good...

Edmonton - General Manager Steve Tambellini announced today the Edmonton Oilers have agreed to terms with goaltender Martin Gerber on a one-year contract. Gerber, 35, played last year with Altant Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). In 30 appearances he went 15-6-6 with a 2.19 GAA and .914 save percentage.

Greetings from high atop Verizon Center. I've ditched the family, sold the tickets and watching the game from press row. There is a bit more room now that the trade deadline has passed. I'll try to pass along a few notes and observations as the game progresses and feel fee to ...

Tom Callahan has the pregame update from Edmonton where the Preds will play tonight at 8:30 p.m. Central. The biggest surprise is that Martin Gerber (2-0-0, 1.50, .950) will be in net for the Oilers and not Devan Dubnyk (8-9-6, 2.88, .911) who got the 4-0 shut out in Nashville on February 7. This will be Gerber's third start this year in the NHL and first since November 29...

In line for a few starts. Photo courtesy nhl.com While details are not thoroughly known, Dan Tencer reports that Nikolai Khabibulin is headed to the IR with an ‘eye injury’.  I’m not too awful sure what to make of this, but by Khabibulin being sent to the IR and Martin Gerber getting a phone call to join the team, I’d be willing to wager that Khabibulin will...

Before General Manager John Muckler was fired from the Ottawa Senators, he was reportedly involved in a trade discussion that included Coyotes defenseman Derek Morris for Senators goaltender Martin Gerber. Lately, Morris has been involved with the off-season promotional campaigns for the franchise (open house, upcoming draft party) and it is possible that he will not be with the...

The Penguins should be an attentive bunch when they study the game tape of tonight's 5-3 win over the Senators. Despite raining shots on goal against the Sens' Martin Gerber and getting out to a commanding 3-0 lead, the Pens just as quickly let their foot off of the Sens' throat and watched them tie the game up with 11 minutes to go in regulation.

Four years ago, Team Switzerland pulled off two magnanimous upsets in the 2006 games after taking down perennial powerhouses Canada and the Czech Republic en route to a strong finish. Their team wasn't loaded with talent, and they didn't have a quirky system that the two aforementioned squads couldn't play into. Martin Gerber, the Swiss netminder, was just so other-worldly...

The Edmonton Oilers have signed goalie Martin Gerber to a one-year contract. The 35-year-old Swiss netminder spent last season with Altant Moscow of the Continental Hockey League. In 30 appearances, he went 15-6-6 with a 2.19 goals-against average and .914 save percentage. In 226 career NHL games with Anaheim, Carolina, Ottawa and Toronto, Gerber is 110-78-21 with a 2.65 GAA and .910 save...

Before I get carried away talking about how great the Oilers played tonight, I'll start by saying the Senators looked bored. One of the advantages, I suppose, of being a last-placed team is that often, especially on the road, the opposition takes a win for granted. The Ottawa players mailed in their effort tonight, and the Oilers got a win because of it. The Oil did lots right...

Steve Tambellini took out Khabibulin insurance and perhaps gave the two young goalies something to ponder in signing Martin Gerber today.The contract (two way, $500,000 in the NHL and $200,000 in the AHL) information comes to us via Nick Kypreos who adds the Oilers "have him pegged as a 3/4 goalie in system."That makes sense, as the club will probably send down one of DD...
