Gerber!

And the winner... of the "Will NEVER, ever, ever be asked to give a pre-game motivational speech before a big game" award...

Asked if he thought beforehand this was possible, Swiss forward Flavien Conne said, "Are you crazy, man? With the players they have, it would be impossible."

Martin Gerber. wow.
Switzerland 2, Canada 0.
Gerber = 49 saves for the shutout. Simply amazing.
Don't sleep on Gerber and the Swiss. Just ask the Czech's and Canada!
(and, oh yeah, the USA too, but at least the USA tied the mighty Swiss.)

All the talking heads, beat writers, professional and non-professional opinionators who have been doubting the Carolina Hurricanes chances in the playoffs, citing the lack of playoff tested goaltendng........ well, how about that!

I'd say that Gerber has shown the ability to handle the pressure. How about you!

''If we don't learn from that, we'll be going home early.''
