I do agree to some extent. The defense overall sucked bad!! Letting Drury walk in front of the net was terrible. What was Phillips thinking? I don't know. Too many turnovers at bad times too.
Emery played well, don't get me wrong. But he didn't play great and he let in bad goals at bad times. Even the announcer in tonight's game between Carolina and New Jersey when Martin Brodeur poke-checked the Carolina player said had the Ottawa goalie done that last night they'd still be playing.
Emery didn't freeze the puck with 10 seconds left in game 1. After a terrible turnover Emery let in a wrist shot from far out in game 1 overtime...a wrist shot. That series winner last night again not really Emery's fault. But Emery didn't poke-check the guy and let him walk right out front and tuck it in. You cannot do that in the NHL!! Though Emery did play good overall...he just let in "questionable" goals at Very bad times. Bad defense and bad goals allowed by the goalie is why Buffalo beat Ottawa.
Not taking anything from Buffalo because they are a damn good team of course.
How sweet would it be to see San Jose in the finals after Boston traded Thornton? Looks good on them for making a trade like that. Idiots. LOL
