Calgary Vetoes Ottawa's Comeback Attempts

Auld's occasional poor play came back to haunt Ottawa.

Highlights v. Calgary
1. Moss takes advantage a hole in the passing lanes, Cammalleri then one-times it in.
2. Bertuzzi effortlessly slaps a goal past Auld.
3. Prust scores twice early in the 2nd to make it 5-0.
4. Alfredsson gets Ottawa on the board after deking out Kiprusoff.
5. Kipprusoff denies last minute attempt by Kovalchuck to tie it up.

GM's Thoughts: Alright I'll admit it, I knew the streak had to come to an end eventually. After playing a great game in Pillidelphia, Auld just had a bad day. Either way, Elliot will be starting against Vancouver tomorrow. Its not all Auld's fault; the defense was underwhelming. The only reason they didn't score in the third period was because we were dominating in their zone. We pulled Auld, but their defense held and Kipprusoff stopped a one-timer and then caught the rebound. That resulted in a final score of 5-4. We just have to move on and play better tomorrow. I've also seen us become less gitty over the course of the last few games, which is a side effect of all the winning. We need to play harder, check more and put more pressure on their scorers.
