Ottawa Senators goal and his first of the season...

MIKE FISHER!

Not only did he spot Heater on a clear break to setup the first goal of the game, he capped off the overtime with his own goal and shook the cobwebs and the doubt off of his shoulder.

Long have I said that Mike Fisher's contract is not intended to encourage him to go out and pocket 40 goals. Murray signed him to play the same tough, hard nosed and inspired hockey that he has been the past few games. For Fish to pick up 2pts in this game against a team that torched the Senators last season is the exclamation mark on his patience.

As for the rest of the team... my only concern came with too many lallygags down ice that would park themselves onto a patch of ice and wait for the puck and the man to come to them. I won't name names ... I think they were caught up in the US election and trying to sort out who'll win and lost their head.
