I think I can fully consider myself a Manatee convert these days -- the guy plays dressup, line dances and then drops this yesterday:
Goalie Martin Gerber has worn a black mask void of any Senators logos when he's skated with teammates at the Bell Sensplex.
...
So, as some have suggested, is the blank mask a silent statement of Gerber's desire for a trade, like the plain white one Martin Biron wore in Buffalo last year (he was finally moved at the trade deadline)?
"That's B.S.," said Gerber, who has been getting ready for Ottawa's training camp, which begins today.
"I'm trying the newest model from Itech. We're just working on this one and the one for games should be ready by now. This was just to try it out and see if it works.
9.8 out of 10. .2 deduction for offering an explanation.
